Biobus Chip Enhancements
Biobus Chip Enhancements (BCE’s) are plug ins for your suit and helmet. They have self-contained power sources which last only for a short period of time. When found their effects take place immediately.
Transparency
This BCE will make you transparent. Transparencies can run in parallel, so you become more transparent after each one you pick up. You are undetectable on motion sensors and most of the aliens won’t be able to track you very well.Extravision
Extravision extends your peripheral vision to 180º.Hypervision
Hypervision creates a visual image of the world based on a composite of light, heat, electromagnetic, and radar waves. The resulting image tints the world blue, humans yellow, the pfhor red, and items green.Super Shield
Super Shield casts a high frequency particle shield around the user, resulting in virtual invulnerability to physical harm. (Note: Emotional trauma is still a possibility). The user’s body will glow with a static sheen. High energy weapons can still penetrate this shield.

Weapons
The following is a run-down on some of the weapons that were stocked onboard the Marathon. This text is reproduced, with permission, from the UESC Marathon Defense Planning Commission Report 1359-F - Militia Supply Supplement.
.45 Magnum Mega Class
Standard Issue for all security officers and active duty field personnel. Utilizes 8-shot clips of .45 caliber high velocity, vacuum enabled teflon rounds (teflon maintains stable flight for accuracy). Titanium construction results in a sturdy, reliable, light weight firearm.M.75 Assault Rifle With Grenade Option
Fires 600 rounds per minute of .75 caliber shells. Standard clip holds 52 rounds of high velocity ammunition. Also fires M-class ultrahigh yield grenade cartridges. Grenade clips hold 7 rounds. M.75 Ammunition is neither vacuum enabled nor teflon coated, and due to a manufacturing defect is highly inaccurate at long range.Tech.50 Fusion Pistol
The tech.50 is an extremely expensive weapon to produce and is used primarily by elite commando tactical troops. Normal firing mode produces 20 high impact energy bolts (5.83 TeraWatts each) in eight seconds. The secondary trigger will charge the internal MicroFuse Reaction Core to 17.5 TeraWatts of power; which is discharged in one large energy bolt. The Tech.50 is powered by a Deuterioxide Halogen Battery Pack capable of producing 116.6 TeraWatts of power.SPNKR-X17 SSM Launcher (Lazyboy)
This shoulder mounted device fires short range surface to surface high-explosive mini-rockets. Rocket velocity is 110 meters/second with a range of 2500 meters. Rockets explode on impact with a blast radius of 10 meters.Tozt.25 Flame Unit
Fueled by a single napalm-75 canister, the Tozt.25 will discharge a stream of fire 20 feet long, continuously for 7 seconds. The Tozt is most effective when used in short controlled bursts.

.44 Magnum Mega Class A1
The new standard issue sidearm for all field personnel doesn’t look much like your old .45 MMC, does it? That is because it has been built for a single purpose, by a dedicated people and not by underpaid laborers toiling for a thinly-veiled government-owned arms manufacturing machine (oiled with the blood of the underclasses, by the way) which exists solely to line the pockets of the greedy bureaucrats who run the military/industrial complex.MA–75B Battle Rifle (with integral 40mm Grenade Launcher)
The original M .75 was a ridiculous toy designed to impress aging pompous generals. Gone are the preposterously short barrel and the prodigious recoil that made firing the weapon akin to wrestling a greased pig. Still here is the oxygen hungry ammunition that makes it impossible to fire in vacuum.Zeus–Class Fusion Pistol
The S’pht have done their best to create an infinite supply of fusion batteries out of the finite number you were transported on board with. If it were not for their ingenuity and industrious nature you wouldn’t be able to run around firing with reckless abandon at everything that moves as you are wont to do. But, like the hundredth copy of a third generation duplication of a substandard bootleg — they’re a little fuzzy. One might even say unstable.SPNKR–XP SSM Launcher
A self-important human once said “... sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” This may be so, but in the case of the SPNKR-XP you’ve got one majorly explosive cigar.WSTE–M5 Combat Shotgun
While going through some data I appropriated from the Marathon (looking for design notes, of course) I stumbled across a reference to a weapon used by Imperialist forces against the inserectionists during the Ares Raid; July 14, 2444. (Never heard of it? I’m not surprised!) Many years of loving craftsmanship went into the design and construction of this brutal tool of mayhem, I hope you can appreciate that. I won’t waste my time trying to explain the loading mechanism to you — your primitive mind could never grasp its complex nature.TOZT–7 Backpack Napalm Unit
I don’t believe it is necessary for me to state the personality disorders evident in an individual who enjoys, or more accurately revels, in spraying their enemies with flaming napalm aerosol.KKV-7 10mm SMG Flechette
...the flechette, with its small cross-section (4mm), longer body and pointed nose experiences far less wind resistance and thus retains more muzzle velocity over a greater distance with a flatter trajectory than its less advanced “slug-thrower” counterparts. It’s armor piercing capabilities rival those of the mighty M1A2 .75 BR and the bio-organic trauma it inflicts is terrifying (being somewhat less effective against mechanical targets).
