New Tech?

The small group heading out to bring in more recruits from the Rebels call me for support. The Black Talons had new tech generating Force Fields to protect them from Ghost's devastating Passing Strike. It actually knocked her for a loop!!
 
<Well Alex>, Cypher thinks to himself, <All this new tech is going to become costly for DD to maintain, and I don't mind stealing some of his ideas for our side too!>
 
Arriving at the Factory he looks in dismay at the completely torn asunder BT suits. <Really?, I can repair some of it, but sheesh man, we coulda incorporated some of that into our own designs. Oh well>
 
He goes over to the one suit that is still mostly intact. He examines it and notices a few lever controls on the inside of the unit. He retreats to the dismantled units and observes that these units also have this new underlay. But one of them shorted out and the other got damaged severely. <I'm not sure how reliable this new tech is>, he continues looking at the damaged suits then goes back to the other.
 
Reaching out with his mind he realizes that these controls are not guided by an AI at all. <Poor little bots> he thinks, <can you tell me what your purpose was?>
 
He probes the programming, {1001-1001, 1100-0101}, he picks up from the nigh silent program. [Talk to me little machine, what was your purpose?]
 
{1001-1001, 1100-0101} the program repeats, it cycles through 16 times and then ends.
 
Cypher leans back on his heels looking intently at the suit. He looks around at Ghost and the other known heroes. "They set up a Damage Shield to both protect the BT and cause pain to anyone assaulting it in hand to hand attacks."
 
He stands up and broadcasts over the Dark-Web, "Socrates, Destroyers forces are starting to anticipate our arrival and are rigging their suits with ways to circumvent our attack styles. This could be a bigger problem down the road for us!"
