Thanx for the input on "The Circe Project".  I probably should have
done this sooner, but a few explanations as to the security measures are in
order.
    I reasoned that Sylia would not sacrifice one of the Sabers unless
it was absolutely necessary.  So...here's what I came up with.

    1.  If someone other than the designated person is using the suit,
        the suit recognizes this  and anesthetizes them, then heads back
        to the nearest stationary or mobile base.
    2.  If the suit is powered up and operational, but noone is in it, then
        the suit heads back to the nearest stationary or mobile base.

The above two seem reasonable and should be feasible for Knight Saber 
Technology.

    3.  If it cannot get back to a base, then, and only then, will the
        system self-destruct.

Seems a bit drastic...

     Not really. I mean we have a suit more advanced than anything used by
the USSD (their admission), and I'm really sure that it would be a bad
thing to fall into enemy hands.

     As for Linna's plunge...her resulting transformation messed up the
hardsuit so much that even the final option was impossible.

She fell into the pool of "The Yeti that drowned while riding a bull"?  
The one that Pantyhose Tarou was dipped in?  She could make a troublesome 
prisoner.

     My guess: she's a panda!

A minor point, when I worked out how much the money they were being 
offered for the job was, it was around $750000-$800000 US.  Petty change 
for an organisation like GENOM and probably only a fraction of the cost 
of a hardsuit (though probably enough to maintain the KnightSaber 
operations for a few months).  Which does not really jell with Sylia's 
statements about it being an expensive trap - capturing hardsuit 
technology should have recouped the investment 10 times over (at least!). 

     Well, they got $200k from USSD at 100 yen to a dollar, and they called
that a large amount of money.
