The Gorgon Cannon
is
an arm-worn device primarily used for the immobilization/preservation of
living organisms. It works by effectively restricting the flow of
Aura throughout the body, petrifying
the target (hence its technological codename 'ARU' or Aura Retention
Unit). This petrifaction causes the victim's skin to take on a metallic
appearance, however their life force is preserved despite their inability
to move.
As with other forms of
containment such as Pokéballs, the level of
consciousness of a figure petrified by the Gorgon Cannon varies.

Jaye Gourouke is the most
well-known user of the Gorgon Cannon. However, she gained the schematics
by unscrupulous means from Lunari
scientists who had originally designed it as a medical tool.
Averse to Pokéball
technology due to concerns over genetic quirks that could develop as a
result of being inside one, these scientists devised a theory that if it
were possible to petrify the individual who was severely injured, one
could stop the bleeding and allow the medic all the time he needs to
examine the wound in realspace.
Additionally, this would
also prove useful in case of disasters resulting in too many patients
needing treatment. The Gorgon Cannon could potentially be used to prevent
a lot of those patients from dying before the doctors could get around to
helping them. |
