No, really. This is ridiculous.

Maybe you should make a reallllly big cannon to use up all the loot available to you? It's not like you'd ever actually use it unless their moon turns out to be an aggressive Dwarf Other and decides to look at you funny.
Ooookay, I think that's my cue.
. And Partner-Evelyn already has Other-Hunger to look after her mind.
Note to self: There are things out there like Dad that are not quite so friendly.
Upgrade makes a decent point about flight attracting anti-aircraft fire. Especially if most flyers have high-grade defenses and people have learned to take that into account when opening fire.

You'd never thought of making tiny, purpose-built Overdrive objects before. But now that you have the idea, you know that simple buttons won't be adequate. You need a network of linked items you can hit with a single Overdrive. You'll add some of the funner stuff to their armor, except maybe an emergency-use button? You know better than to make an auto-healing item. Life has an almost eerie tendency to adapt to anything which doesn't outright kill it. Concentrated bursts of murderous
<.< >.>
...cleansing energies are more reliable than standard rapid regeneration. And plus, good healers have an irritating tendency to be tapped by human governments for boring stuff. You think it'd be soooooo much better to make a periodic save state for your siblings and just return to that whenever one of them gets hurt. It might even shave a year off their fumbling reconnection should their local avatars ever die.
Thanks, I guess? I think we'll have other concerns by then, though.
You retrieve an external hard drive, cut the thumbprint reader off a nearby power-suit gauntlet, Press Partner-Evelyn's thumb against it, and~
Upgrade never actually built the Overdrive suite.
[x] Help Upgrade remember to add the Overdrive Suite to the costumes.
I think that getting Upgrade to spend power on our clothes involves as much coolness-factor as it does utility.
[x] Make the changeling garments able to change their shape more often than once a day so we can use them for multiple identities even if we have to change them on the fly.
[x] Add a "default mode" that they can change from freely so we can have them available at all times. Transforming into our superhero selves in the space of a cut to a different camera is
traditional.
These two fit with the "secret agent" theme that Upgrade seemed to want.
[x] Add a bit so our hair is always perfect. However we define "perfect", at least.
[x] Make it so the clothes can glow really bright so we can do better Tron lines.
[x] Make it so the clothes can emit/change appearance in other EM spectra so we look cool to robots and people with heat vision too.
Wacky tricks that should also be broadly useful. The first is a nice bit of flavor, and also traditionally James Bond. The second two bits are not just good for looks but can also be used as general tools - communication, shining bright lights in peoples' eyes, illumination for radar and IR cameras, etc.
[x] Wall-walking.
People
never look up. And hiding in the vents is another classic secret agent thing.
[x] Built-in grappling hook type things, possibly integrated with the wall-walking.
Almost as classic as the perfect hair.
[x] Ablative armor scales, for use with Repair.
