"She could work around her suit, at least."

"Yeah. Which is not rigid or made of rigid parts."

"I wonder if her power needs actual contact or just has a very short range."

"Good question. Maybe I'll schedule some testing for that. If it's contact and not range maybe she should go around with a baton."

"...I just had this hilarious mental image of her going around batting people into the past."

"Kind of cartoonish."

"If it's contact and no range, though, she could use something like a grappling hook of sorts, or something smaller, even, a thin chain she shoots from her hand to touch someone."

"Oooh, I could totally add those to the suit, we should power test this before I get too deep into building it."

"She'd be much more literally unbeatable if she could get an actual range."

How do I test that?

The bot can field this one. Wear a bunch of layers of gloves, and if you can't get enough gloves to make it not work try tapping stuff with sticks of greater lengths. And are you sure you have to actually touch things to rewind them?

I'll try that when I have some time, and I just tested, yes to the second question.

If it turns out you can tap things with other things it'll affect suit design!

How?

Extensible bits that auto-aim so you don't have to close with a target.

Awesome! I'll test.

And when those results are in and promising Lorica brings Rewind a glove with an extensible cord that taps whatever she points to see if that works too.

"How does it work? What should I do?"

"Point at something! And, uh, until the suit and you have more practice together don't point at things you don't intend to boop. It'll notice if you don't boop something it taps and update. This is just to see if it works though."

"Like, what, with a finger?" she asks, then looks at her shoulderbot. "Can you scoot over there so I can point at you?"

She points at the bot with a finger.

Zot! goes the glove, tapping the bot gently.
