STRENGTHS
Code<br/>: The Sneakthief possesses several high profile electronic code descramblers, which in theory should allow the wearer to crack and bypass most electronic locks they encounter within a matter of minutes, if not seconds.
Lock NoMora: In addition to the electronic security countermeasures mentioned above, the Sneakthief also comes with two alternative options for cracking analogue locks. The first is a physical lock pick for a more old school, professional approach, extending a series of telescopic cables into the lock in order to pick it directly. The second is a tad more cruder, although still has a certain finesse, with the Sneakthief producing an extremely fine, extremely potent fusion cutting laser that allows the wearer to simply cut through the locking mechanism. Subtle.
Razor Floss: A discretely concealed ring-pull allows the wearer to extend a garotte of almost impossibly sharp monofilament wire should the need arise.
The Hidden Function: This device can generate an electromagnetic sheath around the wearer, shrouding their biosignature and energy emissions from detection. It also covers thermal, infrared and sonic for good measure, essentially allowing the wearer to bypass most active and passive sensors and scanners on the market.
WEAKNESSESDoesn’t Play Well With Others: While the personal sensor jammer is operational, any sensors, scanners or communication devices on the user are rendered inoperable by the field generated. The view masker, fingerprint masque, disruption bubble and holoprojector are likewise distorted, so plan accordingly.
Handle With Care: For obvious reasons, namely the fact the wire has a cutting power greater than most vibroblades, a great deal of care should be taken when utilising the garotte feature of this device. More than one careless user has found out the hard way just how sharp the wire can be.
Alternate Legality: Nearly everything installed in the Sneakthief could be considered less-than-legal for some pretty obvious reasons. Local Law Enforcement types aren’t likely to take too kindly to finding one in your possession.
DESCRIPTION
Legally speaking, the Sneakthief doesn’t exist. If it did exist, Tricks of the Trade might have advertised it as one of the more blatantly Outlaw pieces of Outlaw Tech to come from Terminus based workshop to date. Perhaps highlighting its encrypted commlink, the cutting edge codebreaking capabilities of such a device or maybe even the more literal cutting edge performance of its fusion disintegrator lockpick that is powered by an isotope-5 power cell. Fancy, right?
But it doesn’t. Exist that is.
Which is a shame, since it would have also come fully loaded as standard with a fairly sweet electronic stealth package. The type of kit that would theoretically allow an unscrupulous soul to bypass most forms of electronic detection. Or maybe it would have an offensive capability in the form of a monofilament garrote. They seem to be on the way back in, right? Nothing like a bit of impossibly sharp razor wire in the hands of a seasoned pro.
Why, at that point all you’d be missing is a disruption bubble generator, fingerprint masker and viewmasker to really round out the infiltration set. Hell, since we're spit balling, we could've housed it in a robust, yet surprisingly covert stygian-triprismatic polymer shell. Maybe chuck in a stylish coat of black for good measure. Just to give it a touch of class. Boy, sounds like it could be really would be a nice bit of kit.
Y’know.
If it existed.
Which it doesn't.
Honest.
