R17 Code Descrambler – A contained micro-com-
puter system that can be attached to any
secure terminal. Once attached, the device
begins its 1megabit-decryption routines to
crack the current system.
NT20 Communications Link – A satellite link
that can be attached to any open terminal,
allowing our HC operatives to tap into these
computer systems remotely.
ST Underwater Apparatus – The micro-underwa-
ter breathing apparatus allows any operative
to remain underwater for an extended amount
of time.
HC Light Rod – The standard issue mini light
glow rods that all HC personnel are issued. Can
be utilized in any situation calling for slight
illumination. The Light Rod has a built-in iso-
tope decay sequence so that you don’t contin-
ue to give your position away.
HARDCORPS MEMO
From R & D
To: Blade, J.C.
The R&D division has been hard at work on some of the newest and
most exciting toys to be added into our bag of tricks. We’ve been
working in conjunction with three of the largest and most rep-
utable mechanical and biological research divisions around the
world. Some of the new black-ops devices to come out are cur-
rently being field tested right now. Any operative who wishes to
participate in these continued tests needs to contact Captain
Briggs.
Biogenic Shields – This new chemical bonding com-
pound can be injected right into the human body
and a molecular shield is formed on top of the epi-
dermal sheath. It is one of the most expensive items
ever developed, but it can be the most useful in
extreme combat situations. The bonding properties
allow the operative to sustain and even reflect most
projectiles while sustaining only minimal damage.
One drawback has been noted: extreme heat from
any thermal explosions can penetrate the molecular
sheath inflicting normal damage levels.
Photon Optic Displacement Device – The P.O.D.D., as
it is called, utilizes the same chemical bonding prin-
ciples as the shields but combines another radical
isotope that somehow refracts light. The isotope
has minimal negative effects, which are far out-
weighed by the incredible advantage that it offers.
Any operative using this item will be rendered virtu-
ally invisible. The light refraction properties bend
light around the user and offer more stealth capa-
bilities than anything ever seen before.
