Bureau
13: Equipment
Here in is a small compendium of Bureau equipment devised by desperate agents as well as artifacts that have been recovered from various missions.
Photographer's Bag: Bureau Equipment:
Developed for an agent who is a free-lance photographer. Besides
having a variety of 35 mm IR, Thermal, and Kirlian sensitive films has
the following: a 300 mm zoom lens which conceals a thermal
sight, a 200 mm zoom lens conceals a Starlight/IR sight, there is
a concealed compartment, and a concealed stiletto. Lots of other
neat stuff could be disguised as photo equipment with a little imagination.
Psi Crystal: Alien Artifact:
A small clear crystal of unknown composition. Provides bearer with
these benefits. +15% to all Psi success roles. One third WKP
cost reduction (rounding down).
Background: This artifact was gifted to Bureau
Agent Maria Carlos by the alien crew of a disabled star ship. Maria
was instrumental in acquiring the materials needed to repair their ship
and in keeping the local law at bay until the repairs were completed.
To date Maria is the only person to be able to take advantage of the crystal's
benefits though several psi-active agents have tried.
Demonic Blades:
Magical Artifacts: Recovered from a nearly fatal mission, these
weapons, two swords and four daggers, appeared to be constructed of a translucent
greyish metal. Besides doing the expected damage per blade type,
every 5 minutes the victim received 1d6 whole body damage per wound.
The only only known way to stop the continueing damage is to douse the
wound with holy water which inflictes an addition 1d6 damage to the victim.
If a victim died from the weapon, the wound dissapeared leaving only a
temporary evil aura at the site of injury. Aproximately 24 hours
after capture these weapons faded into nothingness.
