by Christian Stoehr aka Pappa Schlumpf <[c h st] at [stud.uni-sb.de]>

Hoi Chummers,

Some of you send a request for the new stuff from the Germany Sourcebook, here it is: (hope you will understand my bad English, so please don’t laugh :-))

[I haven’t had the opportunity to read either the German or English version of this Sourcebook, but as I understand it, specks on the equipment was left out of the English translation.

Designed in response to a major unexploited market niche, Scarab/Kawasaki brings you water-born drones for use in those places where roads are hard to find, and the trees are tight, such as the swamps of Louisiana. The ingenious eight-legged design configuration allows it to “walk” just like its namesake, while also allowing limited land movement, for crawling over trees and sand bars. With a body the size of a dinner plate, it is easily overlooked in the gloom, providing optimal surveillance opportunities.

>>>>> [One SERIOUS design flaw with these little gems. It seems the designers were so confident of its water tension capabilities that they forgot to EnviroSeal the drone. One big wave and kiss your investment good-bye! ]<<<<<

Just like its poisonous namesake, the Ares/Mercruiser Water Moccasin brings you combat capabilities in the swamps and marshes, as well as the shallow coastal regions of the Gulf of Mexico. Its lightning quick deployable turret strikes fast, and sure, with a universal option (an extra 2000 Y) capable of engaging aircraft as well. Take control of the seas today!

Truly one of a kind!

>>>>>[ In a way, yes. If you drop enough active sonar buoys, the rigger has no choice but to run on visuals or tell everyone where he is. He pings his active sonar once in that kind of forest, and the corps will filet him. I call this the Net Defense.]<<<<<
