You know, these companies must not think a lot of their equipment, if they make it so easy to take. Guess they just don't care. It's a shame - this is some quality stuff.

[Samus lets out a slow whistle of admiration.]

That's some pretty high-tech stuff you're looking at there, not to mention some of it is pretty dangerous.

[Voice]

[thanxforthetoys]

Thought so. Looks like a lot of these weapons can pack a real punch.

Still trying to figure out what data's salvageable from these minidiscs, too.

[steel_goddess]

I'm not up on this worlds weapons, but they certainly -look- mean enough. The explosives especially.

Are you looking for anything in particular?

[Voice]

[thanxforthetoys]

Probably are. Don't want to test them myself, unless the buyer asks.

Just looking to help myself to the profits.

They probably have enough to lose a few.

Over the network, really?

[thanxforthetoys]

Still no reason to just let it go. Where's the challenge?

What, don't think anyone will buy?

[zealouspeter]

In going for more than miscellaneous items. I'm guessing you already searched through it all for what you're keeping. And for bugs.

Someone probably will. I'd feel bad for them, though.

Text.

[thanxforthetoys]

Doubt I'm keeping much of anything. I'd rather sell it to someone who really needs it. And yeah, there were bugs. Not very well-protected, though. EMP shielding was minimal, if there was any at all.

Why's that?

AGI and SERO provided?

Voice

[thanxforthetoys]

Only SERO. They left it unprotected, so... guess they didn't want it badly enough.

[payingthepiper]

Wouldn't they recognize their own van?

Voice

[thanxforthetoys]

You'd think so, but they're already dropping the ball when it comes to paying attention.

And if it is easy to take, why do we buy it from you?

[text]

[thanxforthetoys]

It was easy for me to take. Not everyone can get this kind of hardware that easily - if they could, there'd be way more people toting it around.

[derbruder]

Such confidence! Was the possibility of "subtlety" considered? Perhaps there are those that are not so open.

[text]

[thanxforthetoys]

I'm all for subtlety, but trust me, this wasn't like running to the gas station for a candy bar. Takes an experienced set of hands.

[madeinoblivion]

Nice catch. What is all that stuff for, anyway?

[thanxforthetoys]

Exactly what it says on the tin, mostly. A lot of signal tracking and communications equipment here, as well as weapons, and medical supplies. I'm guessing this was field-equipped for use by operatives, or something like that.

[madeinoblivion]

Oh. Hnh. I'm not sure if I need anything like that. What kind of weapons?

[thanxforthetoys]

Handguns, a couple of pump-action shotguns... two semi-automatic rifles. Plenty of lethal and non-lethal ammo to go along with them.

I think a few of these might be modded to fire tranq darts as well. And then there's a gun that... well, I've never seen before. Probably experimental.
