Harley announced, her voice carrying effortlessly through the room. "The Phantom Gauntlet—a revolutionary piece of combat technology designed for enhanced stealth, precision, and adaptability."
The 3D projection zoomed in, displaying the gauntlet’s structure in intricate detail. It was sleek yet deadly, its matte-black surface absorbing light rather than reflecting it. Text and animated diagrams highlighted its capabilities.
"Key features include:
— Integrated cloaking technology, rendering the wearer virtually invisible for up to five minutes.
— Enhanced kinetic absorption, significantly reducing impact damage.
— Neural-linked interface, allowing for seamless control with mere thought.
— Adaptive blade deployment—"
A flicker of motion in the projection revealed a hidden blade emerging from the gauntlet’s wrist compartment, its edge humming with suppressed energy.

The murmurs that had filled the room earlier faded into an intense silence. Even the most composed attendees were visibly intrigued.
