The Arsenal

[GWYNETH WEBB]

Below is a list of standard issue technologies available to all field agents of FEAR. New technologies are being developed constantly, so check back often.

Note: While these technologies are cutting edge and centuries beyond the weaponry of the other factions, it does not, by any means, grant you automatic success. There is something to be said for the power of the pen (or keyboard) in dodging high energy pellets. While you most likely will be successful, there is always a margin for error. Remember: FEAR does not condone powerplay. (Unless they're drugged and strapped to a slab. That's a different story.)

LAZARUS TABLET

FEAR's take on a phone, this device is your mini-Lazarus. The artificial intelligence can perform any number of computations required by the Agent. Some of the most common are: Placing untraceable calls. Hacking nearby electronic devices. Projecting a holographic field large enough to hide the operative. Produce a scrambling signal to render nearby electronics useless. Place orders for FEAR weaponry to nearby assembly outlets.

Each tablet requires a personalized code to activate and should the code be entered incorrectly three times, it will self-destruct, rendering it useless.

UV BULLETS

Projectiles containing highly radioactive chemicals. Capable of penetrating surfaces as strong as steel, these bullets are made to preserve the life of the Agent by ending the vampire's. Once the bullet lodges in something or is broken, the mechanism separating the two chemicals will break, creating an artificial explosion of UV light. These are highly caustic and are discouraged from regular use. Use only in times when your life is in danger. Otherwise, resort to other arrest methods.

FLASH BOMBS

Coming in three standard sizes (macro, normal and micro), these explosives are designed to break up coven fights and scare off pursuing undead. Each is capable of producing a substantial UV blast and detonates a secondary mechanism that sprays napalm. Each blast is relative to the size. Macro is about the size of a basketball. Normal, a baseball. Micro, a quarter. Macro and Normal sizes require a detonation time, while micro is automatically set at five seconds upon activation.

CHEMICAL AGENT: PENANCE

Manufactured in hypodermic needles, this chemical agent is designed to paralyze the nervous system and nullify vampiric genes for a short period of time. Each hypo contains a huge quantity of GENE R7, the strain of DNA responsible for superficial regeneration. Should the human or vampire be badly injured from battle, this hypo will prepare them for transport while also keeping them stable for the trip to the lab. Field tests have shown that this chemical has decreased success on vampires over 100 years- about 30% success rate.

CHEMICAL AGENT: HERCULES

Distributed in hypodermic needles, this chemical agent is packed full of modified adrenaline and experimental gene tonics. When a Field Agent consumes the hypo, effects range anywhere from heart attack to vampire-like strength and agility for up to five minutes. Each hypo has been shown to produce profound crash symptoms, including, but not limited to: fainting, diarrhea, stroke, migraines, loss of appetite, violent behavior, impotence, and temporary vulnerability to UV radiation.

EXPERIMENTAL CANNON K103

!!SCHEMATIC NOT AVAILABLE!! Requesting field testing. Produces high-energy pellet that is intended to immobilize targets. Caution: Do not look into the operational end of the device. Do not touch the operational end of the device. Do not deploy energy pellets against fellow FEAR operatives. Do not deploy energy pellets against children or pregnant women. Do not leave the device operational for more than thirty seconds. If the device becomes hot, please scuttle the device as listed in SECTION 6, PARAGRAPH D of your safety manual. Kill command for proper scuttle is as follows: 99578ZH2 . Entry panel can be found along left side of the device.

These agents require heightened clearance.

CHEMICAL AGENT: TORCH

Torch, a thick, black fluid with glowing crystal embers, allows you to siphon energy from your surroundings to perpetuate a combustion reaction. A sheath of genetically altered flesh protects the appendage that you produce the flame from by diffusing the heat radiation back toward the flame. You can produce flame jets up to five feet away from you, a powerful short-range flame that will melt through most metals and a one time kinetic bomb. You can cause a large explosion of flame around yourself, once. It is recommended that you make yourself as dense as possible when exploding. There is enough power in this hypo to give these abilities consistently for up to a week, with random flare-ups for up to a month. Expect a lot less time if you ever use the kinetic bomb. It really fries the catalysts in the tonic. Do not over exert yourself. You will combust.

CHEMICAL AGENT: HAZE

Haze, a purple gas, causes an immediate lack of gravity. Haze allows the imbiber to leap great distances by reversing the pull of gravity. It’s become a favorite of the Special Ops department, being termed “Liquid Stealth.” The user can consciously choose to manipulate magnetism, resulting in a powerful pull of dark matter. This causes the iconic “haze” against white light. Currently, this pull acts as an on or off switch with no varying degrees, but the haze has its own attributes. Vampires, humans and basic technologies are unable to detect anyone in a dark matter haze. Sunlight will cause you to become visible. Any direct fluorescent light agitates the dark matter and will cause it to react explosively with electricity. If you find yourself in this position, bail as fast as possible because you’ve just managed to fry the city’s electrical grid. Be sure you reverse the polarity of the pull before entering combat. Dark matter interferes heavily with hand-to-hand. This hypo has about the same time frame as Torch, but will completely dissipate if you get caught in the cosmic radiation caused by the Dark Matter-Electricity reaction.

CHEMICAL AGENT: TUNDRA

An icy cool fluid that reacts with heat energy. This tonic will claim the energy of your atoms and those around you, creating an icy aura. The body manages to keep from dropping to absolute zero and maintains proper functions by siphoning energy from its surroundings, leaving an icy trail wherever the person goes. Tundra can be used as a heat vacuum, claiming the heat from any nearby location, item, or person. The most exhausting facet of this ability has been termed "Flash Freeze," which immediately siphons all the energy from an area in a split second as opposed to the slow drain normally produced. Objects frozen solid are extremely brittle and are much easier to destroy. If the air is particularly humid, ice can be created and weaponized. A source must be constantly mined for energy, lest your body succumb to freezing itself. Similar time frame as Torch and Haze.

CHEMICAL AGENT: VIPER

This gene tonic acts as a large catalyst for the body, quickening nerve impulses and muscular reaction times. The user experiences increased speed, agility and optical processing. Viper is designed to assist humans in escaping vampires, but has been modified to be more formidable. An individual under the effects of Viper also have a shifted pH level, becoming more acidic. The body is modified to survive these conditions, but any physical contact will cause organic material to break down. Body fluids are much more acutely acidic. Saliva, for example, can melt through thin metals. Viper is active for up to ten hours, or until the catalyst burns off due to increased metabolic activity.

ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT

REQUIRES APPROVAL! FEAR's orbital platform is able to discharge a variety of weaponry. Auxiliary cannons can discharge various ammunitions depending on what is needed. A cluster cannon discharges ultraviolet lasers. Sonic Artillery cannons discharge shells that create sonic disturbances once in Earth's atmosphere. A platform can discharge, rapidly, giant shells to dispatch large forces. The Armageddon cannon, FEAR's super weapon, is a giant gatling gun that discharges shells containing an atomic fission reactions. It has never been authorized to fire.

ORBITAL DROP

REQUIRES APPROVAL! Drops pods filled with armed androids from FEAR's space station. A tactical power used to surgically introduce reinforcements to a fray. The pods can be arranged to be scuttled, dropping them specifically on buildings or forces to crush them.

L.A.S.S.O.

A device that discharges nonlethal plasma in a long, conical, whip shape. It can be used to interrupt electrical signals, immobilizing living beings and taking electrical devices offline. Modified versions of this device utilize lethal plasma, which will melt most anything.

"MERCURY" ION CHANNEL MOTORBIKE

A motorbike with a silent engine. The rider can infuse the engine with a stream of ions which super charges it locomotors and allows the bike to speed just slightly faster than a sprinting vampire. State of the art breaking systems allow the user to stop almost instantly without whiplash or being thrown from the bike.

CHEMICAL AGENT: "INCOGNITO"

A thick, greasy, tan paste that is dispensed in small compacts as if it were makeup. The substance reacts with tissues of whichever organic surface it is applied to, allowing the tissues to be manipulated at a cosmetic level. This chemical was designed to allow operatives to disguise themselves more convincingly. While the effects of the gene tonic are not permanent, if it is used excessively, the proteins in the tissues begins to denature, irreversibly scarring the flesh.There are enough uses in one compact to allow the user three modifications. Lasts for 24 hours.

CHEMICAL AGENT: "PERSEPHONE"

A hypo filled with a partially translucent, scarlet fluid. The mutagen is actually comprised of a specially cultivated flower's pollen. The pollen, when in the correct circumstances (facilitated by the gene tonic), causes an extreme production of pheromones. In all sexes, sexual desire of the user increases ten fold, while those who are already sexually attracted to the user run the risk of becoming obsessed. Studies show that humans are more predisposed to becoming addicted to the user, and that they're more obsessed with the unique scent of pheromones than they are the actual person. Anyone who comes into contact with the scent suffers severe withdrawal symptoms 12 hours later when the effects wear off.

CHEMICAL AGENT: "ZEUS"

The imbiber becomes electrically charged after injecting this water-like substance into their veins. Wielders of this gene tonic are able to conduct large amounts of electricity because of the resistance caused by the mutation. Agents using this hypo can release jolts of electricity from their bodies that are capable of interrupting and destroying other electrical devices. Users can act as a circuit and can effectively project arcs of electricity if they can harness an external source. Same timeframe as Torch.

CHEMICAL AGENT: XX1

Designed as a catch-all for all botched experiments, this is the single most powerful chemical agent FEAR has. When in contact, anyone ever exposed to any genetically enhancing benefits becomes violently ill. Anyone the product of genetic splicing will destabilize and ultimately be liquified. Airborne samples react with metals, liberating electrons. If a reaction occurs in an open environment, caution should be taken around any electrical device- localized electrical storms can and will occur. Periods of activity are determined by the amounts dispensed.

SCENT SCREENS

Small, non-incendiary smoke bombs that deploy a thick cloud of putrid stink upon being broken. The screen overwhelms the senses, both inducing disgust and burning sensations across the body, allowing agents to either escape or sneak up on incapacitated foes.

IONIC GREATBOW

A large archery bow built from the finest in microscopic technology. The bow is a simple crescent curve that allows the user to create projectiles comprised of caustic ions that deal massive damage when they strike a target. Originally designed as a military weapon, the bow was given a stun setting that simply renders victims immobile. The bow can strike from nearly 700 meteres away with projectiles that travel at a fraction of the speed of light. What the bows have in deadliness, they lack in accuracy. Because of the minimal design of the weapon, targeting systems only assit the user via heat sensing scope.

SONIC DRONES

Tiny airborne robots that produce intense sonic disruptions. The frequency of the blast is such that humans cannot hear or be affected by it, but vampires can suffer acute deafness. Due to hypersensitivity of the undead, sonic disruptions have also been found to inflict incredible pain and sometimes unconsciousness upon vampiric victims.

WAVE-FORCE GAUNTLETS

Flexible body armor gloves that amplify the vibrations caused by impacts against the apparatus. While the product is not sonic, the vibrations created increase exponentially in correlation to the applied force. Generally, these gloves are more effective with vampiric agents who can hit harder, but some human operatives have learned how to exploit the vibrational output of one glove to amplify the other. Effects range from small tremors to complete structural destabilization.

KINETIC BODY ARMOR

A more advanced take on the bulletproof vest, this flexible fabric is designed for melee. Kinetic energy from blunted impacts against the full body suit is diffused across the entirety of the suit and thereby the wearer's body, reducing the localized force and dampening the strike. In some cases, bullets can be deflected, but may also shred through the armor. This armor provides little defense from blades.

SYNTHETIC BLOOD

Genetically engineered blood designed specifically for the human host. The blood provides all the benefits of authentic blood, but FEAR scientists can modify the synthetic for various objectives. Hungry vampires beware.

TERROR

Microscopic nanobots programmed specifically for attacking vampires. The bots are introduced through synthetic blood and then move their way through the vampire's body until they reach the central nervous system. Once the bots burrow into the nerves, they can then manipulate electrical impulses to create a variety of effects, depending on how nearby FEAR equipment controls them. The default setting, however, convinces the afflicted that their worst nightmares are about to be realized. Afflicted vampires are considered to be "terrified" when infected. Terrified individuals will begin to hallucinate as their condition worsens, the ultimate result being insanity. The nanobots may also hijack glans and other cellular processes to siphon iron from the blood to replicate more bots, or achieve a desired effect as directed by field operatives. Only FEAR scientists can "cure" the infection.
