Energy absorption

Energy absorption is one of the recent technologies. It gives the Homelanders an ability to use multiple types of energy in case SSP will be unavailable.

Overview
Over time, the Homelanders developed several core principles of creating new technologies. One of them states that a plan "B" should always present, regardless of circumstances.

Even if the probability of SSP failure was zero percents, they couldn't ignore an opportunity to backup their main energy source.

With the united calculating power of their CPUs and five supercomputer complexes, along with the result of many tests and experiements, the Homelanders developed a new technology and added in their bodies as an ability.

Currently energy absorption successfully passed the stage of beta testing and became a high-grade version 1.0 ability.

Applications
This ability could potentially be used in extremely urgent situations or even in case of mortal danger, like a very possible risk of losing a Homelanders' hardware or recently added experience.

Problematics
This ability has the highest flaws percentage than any other technology or ability currently available.
 * It requires already accumulated energy to direct and safely process another type of energy, before it can go through a reactor core.
 * If a desired source of energy isn't in direct accessibility, it should be accelerated towards a Homelander first, forcing the latter to spend more stored energy.
 * Even after successful energy accumulation, it cannot be converted the same way SSP can. To convert absorbed energy, certain power intensive actions should be done, resulting in 67% efficiency on average and 72% at best, compared to <99% efficiency of SSP conversion.

Potential
There are a few ongoing projects about this ability. Some Homelanders plan to increase the efficiency of energy conversion to its fundamental limit, while the others think about alternatives. All in all, it's not very likely that any noticeable changes will occur anytime soon.
