Lt. Celia Forrestal was in the U.S. Navy, serving as a highly qualified Navy Aviator. Her career stalled as a training instructor because of her gender and race. Looking for some perspective while she considered leaving the service, she visited her parents, scientists and owners of Argo Technologies. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Forrestal had developed a personal harness that could absorb, convert and redirect energy. The Forrestals conceived the harness as a tool for peace, but it also had great potential as a weapon of mass destruction.
