Armed technology. Metaphysical ruin.

Medium

Weaponised technology.

Medium

It's a shit contraption. Old people medical grade tat.

Medium

There is no gauge marked 'happiness' on the dashboard of Eszti's mind.

Medium

Trust the bomb. It has been waiting for this moment for three decades.

Medium

A strange click within the bomb's heart...

Medium

Yes. Hard reset for the whole tram.

Medium

Contoured. Dynamic. Expressive -- a shining example of the form. Or at least it would be, if it hadn't been subjected to the inside of a ten year old's pocket.

Medium

Maybe an aftereffect of the shocking. Maybe the first symptom of your augmentoid ascendancy.

Medium

By god, the craftsmanship of it.

Medium

Spectrum analysers, amplifiers... Heavy-duty radio stuff.

Medium

Marinha-32, early 70s issue. Portofiran manufacturing. Built for municipal dredging, but this one's been heavily modded.

Medium

Their fidelity to the concept of fidelity is laudable.

Medium

A technofascist future dawns.

Medium

Futuristic, yet legible. Cool.

Medium

Its sheer grammage can barely be contained!

Medium

Stupid assignment getting in the way of the real shit.

Medium

It's not going anywhere. It wouldn't leave her side.

Medium

She's a fucking queen.

Medium

Forget that. Just flex your way into the console and override her controls while she's plugged in.

Medium

Medium

Forget that. Just hack the console and override her control while she's plugged into it.

Medium

Perfect. Now activate pilot-tone injection at 997 Hz, -20 dBm, below conversation level. You'll be able to follow the magnetic bleed.

Medium

That bag looks oddly rigid -- probably lined with copper mesh to block radio frequencies.

Medium

Let's be real: Your controller doesn't get it. You need gold coating on the barrel. You need little skulls carved into the grip. And what about having two triggers on there?

Medium

No phoneline is safe when he's on your side.

Medium

Impressionable.

Medium

The man's a role model. He has much to teach us.

Medium

The craftsmanship is obvious, as if the seamstress manipulated a fragment of a fallen star.

Medium

A big win for productivity. No more of that pesky human error to contend with.

Medium

This rocket is close to lift off. No room for a co-pilot in that command capsule.

Medium

The wheel itself isn't distinguishing enough -- it could belong to a number of high-end model sets.

Medium

A Merillian SJ6. Top speed 90 km/h, 150cc engine. Entry-level model popular with metropolitan professionals and a subset of hardcore national chauvinists.

Medium

Use a vendor override code. It won't be anything complicated -- it'll be simple, easy to remember, idiot-proof.

Medium

Safety. No impact on performance, and it makes a really nice 'click' too.

Medium

Triple-stitched premium nylon. Expensive.

Medium

Manufactured in Kino's Gambit. Slide coated in dark-grey finish. Fixed barrels, ported. Machined for high-accuracy pressure.

Medium

People have opinions, and bribable brains, and all sorts of fluids. Some even like circuses. Even decade-old silicon is an improvement.

Medium

This is full polycarbonate plastic and cancerogenic glory.

Medium

There's even a little tram station!

Medium

Thousands of tons of steel, hundreds of sailors inside, guns and missiles and torpedoes, and yet somehow still buoyant. A miracle, a marvel.

Medium

Spoken like one who spent his whole life around gunhammers.

Medium

It's a botch job, probably won't even fire if he pulls the trigger...

Medium

LITOST. The high priest of mirror tongues.

Medium

It'd be hard to focus, what with all those switches and dials to play with -- but you could manage to picture it.

Medium

Saturation twists the sound output on the receiver, the signal more than the electronics can bear.

Medium

The analog joy of greased levers actioning release mechanisms, sixty pound warheads sliding out into the sky with a whisper like a sword unsheathing.

Medium

It wishes to be left alone, but can see the devious intention in your eyes.

Medium

Looks like a hearing aid, or cochlear implant.

Medium

Obviously expensive, though the stickiness is probably not part of the original design.
