"A Fuku?" Queen Serenity arched an eyebrow, eyeing the mannequin before her. The blue and white color scheme was admittedly catchy, but…
"So what's wrong with the body suits they're currently equipped with?" The Princess of Pluto asked, circling around the figure with a critical eye.
"Nothing in particular…" The black cat with the yellow moon on its forehead stated easily from a nearby seat.
"…Save the image they conjure up." The white cat beside it finished. Both the queen and her second in command wore masks of incomprehension, so she explained. "To date, the crown has been involved in thirty five aquisions of territory, landed marines on fifty two planets…"
"…and destroyed three worlds via point singularity." The white cat continued. "The Senshi themselves have been instrumental in at least half of these actions, and popular opinion is that they've become your personal… um…"
Setsuna noticed the advisor's reluctance to continue with further criticism, and stepped in for the pair. "I think what Luna and Aremis are trying to say is that the Senshi are in danger of being viewed as your personal shock troopers, your Highness."
Serenity looked from one nodding cat to the other. "But that's ridiculous. They're champions of the realm, not the royal assassins."
"Of course not, your Majesty." Luna insisted, hoping down from his chair. "But you're aware of the politicos back on Earth, of course."
"Of course." Serenity snorted. They were a well known thorn in the Crown's side.
Artemis affected a cat-like smile. "So we thought we would take one of their primary talking points away from them."
"With a fuku." The Queen replied skeptically and the cats nodded.
"A public relations coup, your Highness." Luna offered, and Serenity appeared to consider it. It was one of the more annoying sticks the Unionist movement incessantly poked her with. She'd go about bringing a sector out of the war torn dark ages and they'd interpret it as her imperialistic drive to conquer the galaxy. The Senshi, were, of course her foot soldiers in the dictatorial endeavor. "We plan to give your champions a more personable image."
"But can it do the job?" Pluto got right to the point, still somewhat wary that such a garment could survive an alpha landing onto a hostile, enemy held world.
"That and more." Deimos, one of the weapons facilities lead techs stepped forward, having witnessed the entire exchange. the long, black haired woman was only distinguishable from her twin sister, by the blue lab coat she wore. Both had figures to die for. "We've damn near tripled the damage absorption capacity of the imbedded magical wards…"
"… while increasing the offensive throughput to the armor by nearly fifty percent." The red Phobos explained, flipping her own black hair back. "Once bound to a world, a skilled user will be able to tear through a Beowulf class cruiser in their stage five state with ease."
Pluto's eyes widened with appreciation, and the blue garbed twin continued. "We're also close to ironing out the bug that has been limiting the elemental attack power in the planetary bindings."
"…On top of giving the Unionists a slap in the face." Serenity finished with the slightest of smiles. She gave the fuku one last look. "What do you think, Set-chan?"
"It does have that love and justice thing happening, Serenity-chan." Pluto appraised, tugging at the fabric. "It kind of grows on you."
Serenity shrugged. Even she had to admit it was kind of catchy. "Alright, I'll take it under advisement. Let's move on then." Pluto could almost see the Queen switching mental gears.
