Standard Issue Gear

Every member of Arcus will receive the following 4 items from Dr. Roller.

Other than the radio you are under no obligation to use any of them.

1. Ear Mike Radio Receiver and Transmitter: A tough, reliable

radio device that plugs into the ear. With the help of a trans-
ducer connected to a receiver/transmitter device, and manually

activated for speak or listening modes, the user can both listen
and speak through the earphones. This is possible because
the ear canal captures ingoing and outgoing sound (your
voice), as well as incoming sounds. It is so effective that the
user can transmit a whisper.
Compatible with any portable, two-way radio equipped
with an external speaker/microphone. Weight: 6 ounces
(170 grams). Power source is one A A 1.5 volt battery. Range:
1 mile. Cost: $500.

2. Stun Gun (blaster)
This pistol fires an energy charge that short circuits the nervous
system. Victims are dazed, - 10 to strike, parry and dodge, for
2D4 melees.

A successful saving throw means that the person has success-
fully fought off the effect and is unimpaired. Roll to save against

each blast that strikes. Range: 100ft (30.5m). Rate of Fire: 5
per melee. Bonus to Strike: Must have a W.P. with Energy
Pistol. Damage: Special. Saving Throw: Save vs toxins.
Energy Capacity: 10 charges. Cost (gun): $4000.00. Cost
(energy clips): $1000.00.

3. A uniform of your own design (or his if you prefer) that is reinforced with concealed body armor (40sdc). This armor has no AR and will always be the first to take damage. Basically an extra 40sdc.

4. One outfit of "normal" clothing of your choice that is reinforced with the same concealed body armor (40sdc).

Be aware that Arcus has a fleet of vehicles that are at the team's disposal.

These include the following;

1. Cars, basically a souped up patrol car with armored windows, off road capability, and a reinforced back seat cage.

2. SUVs, Ford Expeditions (F-250 frame) more or less the same as above with more passenger and cargo capacity and worse gas mileage.

3. 2 Vans, Ford Transit (F-350 frame) Lg. Utility vans with the same mods as above as well as a Full Crime Lab (including mass spectrometer and scan dihilator), Shop Tool Kit, Emergency Medical Bay. Doc has built all these things to fit but only one of these functions can be used at any given time.

These vans are manned by a crew of 4 (Driver, Forensics Expert/Team Lead, and 2 Robots) who are trained to operate the vehicle and assist in the use of the equipment.

4. 2 Helicopters, Unarmed (most of the time) surplus military CH-53K King Stallions.

These choppers have dedicated crews of 8 including 2 pilots, a crew chief/loadmaster, a comms expert, and 4 mechanics (who generally do not fly).
