Smart Rope

Current Holder: Destroyed (Session 9)

Origin: Carried by Shackleton Magellan

Overview

A versatile, programmable length of cable in Shackleton Magellan’s kit. In The Firetemic Tower Raid it caught Ronin Sanchez twice when he fell climbing the outside of the tower.

In the Aethel City Sewers Shackleton set it slithering through the sewage water to imitate a large, venomous snake. He knelt with his hands visible and told the officers in a calm voice that a very poisonous sewer snake lay between them and him. Two Aethel Safety Bureau officers tried sonic stunners on it and the stun had no effect, so they switched to blaster fire and destroyed it.

Properties

• Control: programmable; Shackleton drives its movement.
• Immune to sonic stunners: the stunner effect failed to stop it.
• Fate: destroyed by blaster fire, Session 9.
