Did Someone Order a War?
Eradicate your enemies from the comfort of your chair.
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: High-end slicers deck and ECM package.
- Image Source: Westworld Season 2
- Canon Link: Datapad | Scramble Key | Shadowfeed
- Permissions: Fire For Effect is owned by me.
- Primary Source: None
- Manufacturer: Fire For Effect
- Affiliation: Fire For Effect
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: BR-22-Mirage
- Modularity: Secondary AI Slot
- Production: Limited
- Material: Nutorium Casing, Plexoid, Electrite Crystal, Transmission Wire
- Attachable Scramble Key.
- Shadowfeed and Holonet Access.
- Encrypted Communications and Code Breaking.
- Sensor Jamming and ECM, Electric Counter Measures such as Communication Jamming, or sensor spoofing to create readings that aren't there. Nutorium Casing helps block the user's location.
- ECCM, Electric Counter Countermeasures, such as polarization to filter jamming signals, frequency hopping to keep ECM operators guessing, and pulse compression to potentially make the signal stronger than jammers.
- Holotransceiver and Master Relay Terminal.
- Folds up into a portable form, with ATRS as standard tamper resist.
- Dual Scylla AI and Secondary AI Slot. Has two standard firewalls, with one AI potentially controlling the third firewall, or being used on offense.
- A robust ECCM and ECM suite allows for both. Nutorium casing helps block the user's location.
- Plugin scramble key to bypass many locks.
- A master relay terminal allows spoofing holotransreceivers.
- Dual AIs function within this deck and are potentially transmittable.
- Cost. This deck has a lot going for it and it all costs. The ATRS tamper-proofing only increases this a step further.
- ATRS makes this deck difficult to repair.
- Complex. A newbie isn't going to be able to use this. This is a heavy-duty slicers deck.
- Power Hungry, the cell has about 12 hours of charge till it needs to be replaced or recharged.
- ECM like sensor jamming can potentially be prevented with ECCM or a skilled sensor operator.
Gone are the days when Fire For Effect only produced brute force hacking tools like the botnet. This beast of a machine does most things a slicer could want to do, at a cost of power, credits, and complexity. For the slicer that knows the difference between a shadowfeed and a scramble key, this machine has legs.
Masking your location with not only its ECM but also its Nutorium casing, the Mirage will keep you safe while you work. Shame it's so power-hungry, but these features come at a cost. Looking good isn't one of them, the Mirage looks sleek, it folds up easy to carry, and thanks to the not one but two AI's present, operates as fast as you can think.
Why two AI's you might ask? What can 2 do that 1 cannot? Guard the first! That second AI is either used as a third firewall and monitoring system of the main AI, or on offensive actions actually deploys on the attack. to harass the slicer's targets. Usually, an AI would be deployed to slow down any trace trying to find the slicer, but equally can slow a security force kicking down the front door!
Proud of this design one tech at the company said, "it might not shoot as well as a gun, but damn it orders banthabread takeout better than anyone!" There you have it, folks, if it can self-order your takeaway before you even know you need it, what more can you ask for.
