THIEF TACTICAL ABILITY: GRAPPLE DEVICE 

=================================================================== 

OVERVIEW: When a THIEF needs to move quickly to cover ground—to attack, evade, gain high ground, or just to maneuver around a ZONE—the GRAPPLE DEVICE does the trick. It fires a mag-lock anti-grav saucer that can “stick” to a point in space for a short duration, releasing a reinforced flex-weave cable attached to the THIEF SHELL’S forearm, then respooling the cable back into itself, launching the connected THIEF in the direction of the saucer.  

OPERATION: 

    • Elevate your AIM 

         • Preferably in the direction you want to go 

    • Trigger your GRAPPLE DEVICE 

    • Swiftly LAUNCH in the direct you chose 

    • Excellent for… 

         • An ESCAPE 

         • Gaining HIGH GROUND 

         • General MOBILITY 

HISTORY: The GRAPPLE DEVICE utilized by THIEF SHELLS is a tool used in a variety of ways across manufacturing, mountaineering, military, and many other industrial and private interests. That RUNNERS with a penchant for burglary and quick getaways have found a way to make it an extension of themselves is another example of RUNNER resourcefulness.
