Trivial

Gauging by the size of the hilt, it's likely its batteries would fit the imprinting device.

Easy

Whoa-whoa-whoa! Check out those LEDs along the blade. Note the reinforced hilt. This isn't some cheap knockoff, it's a genuine import.

Formidable

You'd need five-axis milling machines, injection presses, stress-testing labs, and climate-controlled environments just to match the craftsmanship of that fur.

Formidable

Assuming these cups do resemble cartoon wolves, you'd need five-axis milling machines, injection presses, stress-testing labs, and climate-controlled environments to manufacture them.

Easy

Let's be logical. Whoever needs it more -- you, obviously -- should have it.

Easy

That watch is five minutes slow. Her tech has failed her.

Medium

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

Easy

LED lights are distributed evenly along the blade. Durable PVC hilt with textured grip. Impressive armament!

Medium

LITOST. The high priest of mirror tongues.

Easy

Two years ago, a decision tree split. You: Retrieved. HOLOCENE: Lost. There are hidden variables.

Challenging

Modded tape deck with antennae to pick up the cricket's signal. Signature Ramses engineering -- zero budget precision, wretched and ingenious.

Easy

Unnamable homemade concoctions surround the motor cortex and zero in for the kill.

Formidable

Light craft. Single turboshaft engine and a mere 120-litre biodiesel bladder. Favoured by the Aussaunnian militia and guerrilla groups.

Challenging

The glasses only magnify what is fundamentally missing from the gaze.

Easy

Fuck the children, they won't miss what they've never had. You need the wolf merch more than they do.

Easy

Sixty-Six Wolves! Fuck the children, they won't miss what they've never had.

Challenging

Despite yourself, you're impressed.

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.

Easy

Now that you have both parts you could try repairing it.

Easy

You could try getting the other half and repairing it.

Medium

Those don't count as actual weapons.

Medium

Agh! Debased! Destroyed!

Challenging

You've taken the tools up one by one in the intended order -- now comes the final tool and the logical end.

Medium

From the implement table, the crank drill snickers at you.

Medium

Designed to be taken into the far reaches by cosmonauts. Any alien life matter can be sealed inside and brought home.

Easy

When you type in a sequence of characters it recognises as a command, the machine will react.

Challenging

You should be able to pull up a directory of all network terminals. Try 'DIRECTORY' or 'NETWORK'.

Easy

RADIAN's fingers danced, each input a new incantation. The ember of his blunt pulsing with every keystroke. A sorcerer within his haze.

Medium

NETWORK should get you the list. Then it's just a matter of finding what you're looking for.

Trivial

The Renotel technician had such a device -- the Voskol Auto-Negotiator. Maybe he'll let you borrow it.

Trivial

The Renotel technician had a device that did exactly that. Maybe he'll let you borrow it.

Trivial

Must be a security measure. A Renotel employee could get you through -- or, at least, their tools could...

Medium

It's a background process. Users wouldn't be able to keep up if it was foregrounded.

Easy

Nothing you do can interrupt the mechanised processes going on unseen.

Medium

Connect with the machine, tap into the invisible substructure of the city.

Easy

This may be exactly what you need to crack the code of that door in the basement.

Medium

Who in their right mind would not follow up on an invisible aircraft carrier?

Medium

Television doesn't destroy minds, you fool. It moulds them.

Trivial

Despite being addled with enough drugs to kill a hippo, the doctor must sleep at some point.

Medium

He used a steak knife.

Challenging

He's shooting his own mixes. Not recreational, not exactly. Self-testing.

Trivial

Hand-pressed. Small-scale production if not outright clandestine. Composition: impossible to determine.
