Zheng-Dao Bioelectric Dermacalm Thermal Liner
The Dermacalm Thermal Liner is a form-fitting undersuit that uses Zheng-Dao Bioelectric's adaptive thermoelectric mesh to actively suppress the wearer's infrared signature. The suit samples core body temperature through skin-contact thermistors and drives heat laterally through a network of peltier micro-channels, redistributing thermal output across a broad surface area and venting it downward through the soles at a diffused, low-intensity gradient. The result is a wearer whose thermal profile appears, to most IR detection systems, as ambient background noise rather than a human heat signature.

The Liner's distinctive feature is its biological awareness — rather than simply cooling the wearer to a fixed temperature, the mesh continuously adjusts its redistribution pattern based on exertion level, ambient temperature, and the specific IR band profile of detected scanning systems if a compatible threat-receiver module is attached. This adaptive quality means it remains effective during moderate physical activity, where simpler thermal suits tend to bleed heat from joints and the face. A separate insulated balaclava with micro-vent control is sold as an accessory for full facial IR suppression.

Zheng-Dao markets the Liner officially as a medical garment for patients with autonomic thermoregulation disorders, a classification that has kept it out of the most restrictive regulatory tiers. In practice, the medical market represents perhaps fifteen percent of actual sales. The remainder move through gray-market distributors, corporate procurement channels operating under healthcare exemptions, and outright black-market suppliers.

specifications
IR signature reduction91% (resting), 74% (moderate exertion), 52% (heavy exertion)
effective IR bands7.5–14 μm (long-wave), partial coverage 3–5 μm (mid-wave)
power sourceIntegrated flexible lithium-polymer cell
battery life8 hours continuous (resting suppression mode)
weight0.85 kg (suit only), 1.1 kg (with balaclava accessory)
form factorFull-body undersuit, wearable beneath standard clothing
operating temperature range-10°C to +45°C ambient
recharge time2.5 hours (standard port)
threat receiver moduleOptional — sold separately, adds adaptive band-matching
tactical useWorn beneath other garments as a baseline IR concealment layer. Most effective during slow infiltration, static observation, and low-exertion approach phases. Operatives conducting high-activity breach work typically activate the suit only during the approach and egress phases, conserving battery and accepting partial IR exposure during the action itself. The threat-receiver module significantly extends effectiveness against adaptive scanning systems but adds 0.3 kg and requires a separate power tap.
cultural contextThe Dermacalm Liner occupies an interesting social position in GLMZ — its medical licensing means that technically legal ownership is possible with the right paperwork, which has made it popular among a class of semi-legitimate operatives who want deniability. Corporate security divisions consider a Liner-equipped intruder a serious professional threat rather than an opportunistic one. In medical circles, the genuine therapeutic users — people with dysautonomia and hyperhidrosis — resent the stigma that comes with carrying Zheng-Dao's 'assassin underwear.'
known users
  • Corporate black-bag teams operating under healthcare procurement cover
  • Ghost-tier couriers in the GLMZ underground economy
  • Freelance infiltrators with mid-level contracts
  • Zheng-Dao Bioelectric internal security personnel
  • Legitimate dysautonomia patients (rare, stigmatized)
story hooks
  • A Dermacalm Liner is recovered from a crime scene with a custom Zheng-Dao medical serial number that traces back to a patient who died two years ago — someone is running a ghost-identity supply chain through the medical licensing system.
  • A contact needs to cross a thermally monitored corporate perimeter and tasks the players with sourcing a Liner within 48 hours; every licensed distributor in the district has been bought out by an unknown party.
  • Zheng-Dao Bioelectric quietly patches the Liner's firmware, reducing IR suppression efficiency by 15% in the latest update — someone inside the company may have sold that exploit to a corporate security firm.
  • A player wearing a Liner during an infiltration discovers mid-operation that the suit's thermistor array has been logging precise biometric data that is now being transmitted to an unknown receiver.

physical description
visual profileA sleek, second-skin undersuit with a matte charcoal finish and subtle iridescent shimmer where the thermoelectric mesh catches light. The garment clings to the body without bulk, resembling a high-end compression suit or athletic base layer. Fine silver tracery is visible across the chest, shoulders, and limbs — the embedded peltier channel network — creating an aesthetic impression of circuitry woven into fabric.
dimensionsFull-body garment; fits like a long-sleeved shirt and full-length leggings with hand and foot coverings
weight descriptionHandheld weight (0.85 kg); negligible burden when worn, designed for concealment beneath standard clothing
primary materialBlended synthetic polymer base (polyamide/elastane composite) with integrated biocompatible mesh grid and thermoplastic conduit channels
finishMatte charcoal with brushed metallic accents; micro-textured surface reduces visible reflectance. Seams are flat-lock and nearly invisible.
color schemeGunmetal gray primary with silver tracery; inner surfaces feature faint bioluminescent blue grid pattern (active only during operation). Accent stitching in muted cyan.
interface elementsMinimalist design: single recessed power button at the collarbone (integrated biometric lock), micro-USB recharge port at the nape of neck, status indicator LED (green idle, blue active, amber low-battery). Optional threat-receiver module docks magnetically at the left shoulder; compatible models feature small circular inductive contact point.
distinctive features
  • Visible silver peltier channel network etched across major muscle groups and joints
  • Micro-thermistor contact points (dark pinprick indentations) distributed across inner arm and torso
  • Faint bioluminescent grid activation pattern visible when powered (interior only)
  • Integrated flex-polymer battery creates subtle ridge along the lower spine
  • Hand and foot coverings include diffuser vents (microscopic pores visible at sole heel and palm edges)
manufacturer markingsZheng-Dao Bioelectric logo (stylized circuit-spiral character) embossed discreetly at collarbone; regulatory compliance tags sewn into neckline (ISO medical grade cert, GLMZ-approved). Serial number etched in fine print on interior neck tag.
condition typicalWhen inactive, appears as an unremarkable compression garment. When powered, barely perceptible warmth on the skin; no visible heat shimmer or steam. Worn beneath loose street clothes, entirely concealable. After extended use, minor perspiration evident at balaclava line, but thermal signature remains suppressed.
