Summary: Reduce soak provided by target's armor by Essence.

Assuming the fluid, yet forceful stance of the Glorious Body Machine Protocol, the martial artist shapes his essence into a perfect, symmetrical construct; he becomes part of the Machine. He adds his Essence score to his Strength and does lethal damage with his unarmed Martial Arts attacks. Armor integrates well with the Machine Protocol, thus allowing the martial artist to reduce the Mobility penalties and Fatigue of his armor by his permanent Essence, to a minimum of 0. He gains an understanding of armored shells, allowing him to project the force of his blows past them. Reduce enemies' armor soak by the martial artist's Essence.
