Security

Keylock/Cardlock/Vocolock: increasingly complex methods of portal security. The keylock is a mechanical lock and must be attacked that way. Card- and vocolocks are electronic, (cardlocks use a magnetically-coded card, vocolocks employ voice-recognition technology). Each type of lock has four increasing levels of complexity, and a single security system may incorporate all 3 types of locks.

Type	Difficulty	Level
Low Security	Average	(15)
Medium Security	Difficult	(20)
High Security	Very Difficult	(25)
Maximum Security	Nearly Impossible	(30)

Cardlock Decryptor: the probe of this device is inserted into a card lock instead of the normal card. A Decryptor operates by adding +5 to your basic TECH+Electronic Security+1D10 skill check against the lock.

VocDecriptor: a vocal modulator for penetrating vocolocks. See above.

Security Scanner: this device searches out electromagnetic fields generated by various alarm systems (75% chance of location). A TECH of INT roll may be needed to identify the style of alarm encountered.

Poison Sniffer: can be set to check air or liquid for a specific poison(s). Otherwise, it will simply alert you to foreign substances. 85% accuracy.

Jamming Transmitter: usually comes in 2 or 3 large cases, but can till an entire van. Jams electromagnetic transmissions in a 1000 foot area (that includes cellular phones and some cyberware).

Scanner Plate: a reading device for palmprint locks. Can be attached to any type of Card or Voclock to add an extra layer of security.

Movement Sensor: a typical alarm system. Covers seismic, sonar, and fixed IR or visible light networks. Detects movement in a defined area, with a 95% reliability. The sensory processor is about the size of a pack of cigarettes.

Passcard: the most common unlocking device for a cardlock.

Tracking Device: hand held or suitcased equipment for detecting/following tracer buttons. Range is 1 mile.

Tracer Buttons: can be any size from a matchbook to a pin. Uses radioactivity or constant/pulsed radio transmission to pinpoint who or what It's attached to. Some can be turned on/off remotely. Usually bought in sets of 6.

Handcuffs: just what it says. Probably a little stronger (a NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE task to break) due to new alloys. Often (50%) opened with a form of cardlock.

Striptape Binders: great for riot control. One-use-only plastic locking strips for temporary handcuffs and leg ties (VERY DIFFICULT to break). With ceramic fibers to resist cutting, and guaranteed fireproof. Come in boxes of 12.
