When we first met Doyt Gyo and Haban 3122, we learned that his armored suit was 'one-of-a-kind.' The government project that produced him has tooled up to produce at least one more like him: Lex Callister and Haban 1653. Poor Lex still thinks that his Haban lives in the armor rather than in his spine, and Doythaban (whose separate sapiences have yet to completely merge into one personality) is not about to disabuse him of that comfortable illusion.
