Since I mentioned it in the Starcraft Medic post, and not everyone has HMBA (shame on you....you know who you are... ), I thought I'd go ahead and post these here. I'm rather fond of them. The MKII came about after some discussion with another BA afficiando and some concerns he had with the original.

First, the MK I:

==Overview:==
The Caduceus Class Field Medic Armor was designed by the
Magistrate of Canopus with assistance from the Cappelan
Confederation. It was intended to help supplement the Magistrates
already superior medical support for its military.

==Capabilities:==
The Caduceus features many innovations to help with it's role
as a Battlefield Medic. First off, it carries a total of 300 kg of
standard armor to protect the medic. With the extra life support
capabilities, it can remain active in the field for up to 24 hours
before having to return to base for recharging.
While designed to allow the use of most tools and equipment,
the suits armored gloves can be removed for exceptionally
detailed work, although this is not recommended unless absolutely
necessary. There is a searchlight mounted on the right arm, for
enhanced rescue operations at night. The left arm A-13 Heavy
Grenade Launcher is typically loaded with Flash or Smoke
ordinance, but some medics have been known to carry HEAP rounds to
dissuade the enemy from bothering them as they assist their
comrades. It has a 20 round magazine, which is generally
considered excessive for a medic, but helps reduce the necessity
of resupplying in the field. It is equipped with a quick
disconnect system, in case additional maneuverablity is needed
with the left arm.
The armored container on the back of the unit, as well as the
multiple hard pockets located on the chest, arms and legs can
carry a total of 85 kg worth of supplies. It carries an Advanced
Medical Kit in an armored container at the small of its back. The
various compartments on the chest, arms and legs usually contain
Laser Scalpels, Medipatches (20), Stimpatches (10), Plastiflesh
Bandages (20), Sedative Patches (10), Spare leads and cables for
the Sloan Mark 12 and a couple of Smoke Grenades. The removable
armored container on the back carries the Field Surgery Kit, a
Collapsible Stretcher, a Noteputer (loaded with Medical Info),
several spare magazines for the A-13 and a Scanalyzer when
available.
The Sloan Mk. XII Advanced Medical Monitor is an advanced
version of the portable medical monitor. It is capable of
monitoring a patients vital signs, including: blood pressure,
pulse, temperature, electro-cardiogram (ECG), respiration rate,
neural activity and others. The leads of the various sensors
attach to a portable transmitter and the results are displayed on
the suits HUD. In case of enemy ECM, it is possible to link the
transmitter directly into the armor. The monitor also has the
capablity to jack directly into another Battle Armor suits medical
sensors to monitor the troopers health. It is powered indefinately
by the suits integral power unit.
Mounted in the Right Arm is a Plasmajet 442 cutting torch, to
assist in extracting wounded personnel from vehicles or
Battlemechs. Extreme care must be taken to avoid further injuries
to the wounded.
Although the Caduceus is capable of speeds approaching 32.4
km/h, it is capable of mounting not only an OmniMech, but with the
Capellan supplied magnetic clamps, regular Mechs and Armored
units.

==Deployment==
The Caduceus is still currently undergoing field trials, as
the Canopian Institute of War opens its Armored Infantry program
to already trained and qualified EMS personnel. The Magistrate
Medical Corps is hoping to have at least 1 squad of Cadecus Armor
assigned to each regiment by the end of 3071. Hardcore MedTech has
also designed a companion vehicle, the Charity Armored Evacuation
Vehicle. It is expected that the two units will work well
together.

Now, the alternate version, the Mk II:
Code:

        Classic BattleTech Battle Armor Technical Readout
                        * CUSTOM EQUIPMENT

Type/Model: Caduceus Field Medic Armor Mk II
Tech/Era: Inner Sphere / 3071
Chassis Type: Humanoid
Weight Class: Light Battle Armor (401 - 750 kg)
Rules: Level 3, Standard design

Ground Speed: 32.4 km/h
Jump Capacity: 90 meters
  Jump System: Paradise Lifters
Armor Type: Magistrix Armorplate Standard
Armament and Equipment:
1 Advanced Medical Monitor*

1 Extended Life Support
1 Mission Equipment
Manufacturer: Hardcore MedTech
  Location: Hardcore, MoC
Communications System: Mercury Secure Multiband
Targeting & Tracking System: Canopian Maxitrack Type X

==Overview:==
The Caduceus Class Field Medic Armor Mk II was designed by
the Magistrate of Canopus after consulting with engineers from
Paradise Industries. Troops issued with the Mk I raised concerns
that the A-13 Grenade Launcher violated their status as a
non-combatant, as the enemy had no way to know that it was only
loaded with smoke or flare rounds.

==Capabilities:==
The Caduceus features many innovations to help with it's role
as a Battlefield Medic. First off, it carries a total of 300 kg of
standard armor to protect the medic. With the extra life support
capabilities, it can remain active in the field for up to 24 hours
before having to return to base for recharging.
After consulting with outside engineers, it was decided to
remove the Heavy Grenade Launcher from the design. Doing so
allowed the engineers to fit on a Jump Pack, something that had
been left off of the original design. The 75kg pack allows the
Caduceus Mk II to jump as far as 90 meters at a time, improving
mobility.
While designed to allow the use of most tools and equipment,
the suits armored gloves can be removed for exceptionally
detailed work, although this is not recommended unless absolutely
necessary. There is a searchlight mounted on the right arm, for
enhanced rescue operations at night.
The armored container on the back of the unit, as well as the
multiple hard pockets located on the chest, arms and legs can
carry a total of 110 kg worth of supplies. It carries an Advanced
Medical Kit in an armored container at the small of its back. The
various compartments on the chest, arms and legs usually contain
Laser Scalpels, Medipatches (20), Stimpatches (10), Plastiflesh
Bandages (20), Sedative Patches (10), Spare leads and cables for
the Sloan Mark 12 and a couple of Smoke Grenades. The removable
armored container on the back carries the Field Surgery Kit, a
Collapsible Stretcher, a Noteputer (loaded with Medical Info),
several spare magazines for the A-13 and a Scanalyzer when
available.

version of the portable medical monitor. It is capable of
monitoring a patients vital signs, including: blood pressure,
pulse, temperature, electro-cardiogram (ECG), respiration rate,
neural activity and others. The leads of the various sensors
attach to a portable transmitter and the results are displayed on
the suits HUD. In case of enemy ECM, it is possible to link the
transmitter directly into the armor. The monitor also has the
capablity to jack directly into another Battle Armor suits medical
sensors to monitor the troopers health. It is powered indefinately
by the suits integral power unit.
Mounted in the Right Arm is a Plasmajet 442 cutting torch, to

together. One out of every four suits is expected to be the Mk II
model.

There's a small tribute somewhere in the design. Kudos to the first one who spots it.

Gee, I don't think I've ever posted this much here at once. I feel like Motown.
