NASA missing Stuff
May. 6th, 2005 11:51 amOne of my favorite things about Conspiracy X was the cell creation rules. Particualrly the fact that the players got so much cool stuff by basically robbing the government.
So, when reading this recent article all I could do was sit there and wonder why a cell investigating alien invasions would need some of that stuff.
I think I have a reason for everything.

- A transponder-ranging bilateration device used for ground-based tracking worth $320,000: Too easy, what adventurer wouldn't want one of these
- A cryogenic cooler listed at $200,000: Need to keep those alien eggs cold
- A didrometer costing $20,000 used to measure the velocity of water: I've seen X-Files, water can be dangerous!
- A $300,000 incubator: For when you want to hatch the alien eggs
- A golf cart: You expect me to travel around my super-secret base on foot?
- A hydraulic toilet seat: One of the alien babies (See above) escaped into the sewers
- Grass trimmers: Alien weeds are infesting us!
- Lawn mowers: Ditto
- Chain saws: Demon control, it worked for Ash
- A vacuum cleaner: Vacuum up all the spontaneous combustion victims
- An exercise machine: Need to increase your strength score (they are adventurers after all)
- And a jukebox: Elvis is in the building!
