Quote:SupraPol Cooperative Containment Shield (Area Shield) (300)
A SupraPol Cooperative Containment Shield, or SuCC-S, is, as it sounds, a Cooperative Containment Shield.
The user holds a small projector that must be at least fifteen inches long, and when active shimmers a bright mix of orange and blue.
If two users are within fifteen metres of each other, they can activate the SuCC-S over a second. Other users may contribute to the SuCC-S by entering within fifteen metres of the SuCC-S and joining one of the edges.
The SuCC-S takes the form of a one-directional energy shield of orange and blue. It blocks all matter and energy trying to pass through it from one side, and the other side is translucent and allows all matter and energy to pass.
The SuCC-S forms a surface that extends a metre out from lines connecting projectors, creating rounded surfaces two metres wide. If three lines form a triangle, the shield fills in the space between these lines.
A SuCC-S is roughly as strong as the combined defence of the users divided by the overall area of the shield (units of one section produced by a single line five metres long). An attack that exceeds this defence can shatter a section of the shield, breaking any connection between projectors within fifteen metres of the attack.
The SuCC-S is mobile, and consequently can be moved around by attackers. An attack that at least equals half the strength of the shield can cause a section to bulge, and potentially break a connection by increasing the distance over that of fifteen metres.
Because of the nature of the shield, it is impossible to move the shield forward if it intersects a solid object attached to the ground.

Attack: 0

Move Access: SuCC-S
A PCD Squad is a fearsome sight on the battlefield… or they would be if they weren’t waist high robot drones with a general intelligence lower than a butterfly. Not particularly mobile, the Police Containment Drone has two jobs to perform: put up a containment shield and try not to get beaten up.
Fortunately for casualty rates, each PCD is not sentient, remotely operating as a hive mind using specially designed programs. Since they aren’t sentient, a PCD is wholly dependent on the skill of its deployer.
Each PCD is integrated into a quantum signal teleportation system from SupraPol, and can therefore be summoned by Carmelita. The quantum signal teleportation system is unstable but functional, allowing the Assist to be present for as long as Carmelita’s quantum beacon keeps its charge.
A PCD is a fat cylindrical drone with a conical head, usually decorated in SupraPol black and gold with two rings, one of sensors and one of blue and red police lights.
They can move through aerofoil suction along smooth ground or through the use of four chubby wheels on stubby legs that extend from their base. If knocked over, a PCD requires assistance from another being to return to the vertical position. Fortunately, two PCD’s can self-assist each other in getting upright through magnetic couplers.
Each PCD contains a single, sturdy vertical rod built into their conical heads that can extend to utilise their shield projectors, which project a SupraPol Cooperative Containment Shield.
A PCD squad consists of up to ten PCDs.
