In the meantime,

 -  Name:  TBD

- Wielder: TBC

- Maker/Smith: TBC

- Classification: Rapid Actuating Piston Rapier

- Weapon Derivation: sewing machines (partly)

 -  Form 1 Design:   The weapon, when extended, looks much like a simple rapier with a solid dish shaped handguard, and a long narrow "blade" that tapers into a very dangerous point. The differences ofrom a normal rapier are, a telescoping segmented "blade", three sets of vents for expelling steam Dust (extending, retracting, and providing cover), controls on the handle allowing for variable speeds and lengths along with releasing Dust as needed

- Form 1 Aesthetics: (Colors, patterns, decoration, and other cosmetic traits) undecided, but on the plain side, possibly deliberately dull coloring

- Dust Usage: steam Dust in a powder cannister stored in the handle. used to propel the segments, at increased speeds, both when they're extending and retracting, inflict thermal trauma, and provide cover similar to a smokescreen

- Usage: point and begin mechanized stabbing at 60 spm

- Planned/Possible Upgrades: (If applicable)

- Notes: this isn't meant to be for a fancy pants like Weiss, this is more for the utility of having a compact stabbing weapon
