Contumacy

"I just wish the damn thing came with an instruction manual."

- Dom-094

The Contumacy is a artifact that was located on Catacomb.

Physical Description
The Contumacy is in the shape of a regular heptagon, and has a forerunner symbol that gives off turquoise light. The object is 21 centimeters from side to opposite corner.

Use
The device “bonds” with the user by connecting to the user's spine via special needles, and greatly magnifies his/her speed and reflexes. The Contumacy also grants the user to perform special defensive and maneuvering abilities at will. The abilities may take time for the user to adapt to. The Contumacy can also supply power to some Forerunner structures such as small-scale.

Antigravity
The user is surrounded in a strong energy shield, and then flies in a given direction at 320km/h. The distance covered by this, however, is only ten meters. It is mostly used in a similar manner as a jet pack, allowing the user to gain distance to reach higher destinations. Oftentimes, Dom-094 will use it to prevent himself falling to his death. This can also be used to kill opponents by collision. The Contumacy must take about one second to recharge after the use of this.

Speed Burst
The user jets forward, covering a maximum distance of thirty meters at the speed of Mach 5. The quick burst of speed is capable of hurting or killing opponents on impact. Gravity barely affects this maneuver as nearly the exact same horizontal distance can be covered in the air. The quick burst of speed, however, may only be used parallel to the ground. As with the antigravity burst, the Contumacy must take one second to recharge after the burst of speed.

Reflector
A repelling-magnetic field surrounds the user, reflecting/deflecting away any plasma, charged particles, and metallic projectiles. Once this shield is in activation, the user must remain motionless, much like how is. However, the reflector may be activated in midair, but the user will fall to the ground nonetheless. Unlike almost all external shields of any kind, the user may hold this shield as long as he/she wants, and may deactivate the shield at any time. The shield can also stun opponents at point-blank range upon activation. Unlike the previously listed abilities, the activation of the shield does not require the Contumacy to recharge.
