Miscellaneous: Communicator, Tricorder, First Aid Kit, etc.

Communicator

(see GURPS Ultra-Tech p45--Neutrino Communicator)

Range: 1000 miles. 2B/10 hr. Weight: 0.5 lbs. Cost: $5000. LC4.

Tricorders

(see GURPS Ultra-Tech p66--Small Ultrascanner)

$2000 (unless noted otherwise) 1 lb. B/4 hr. LC3

Tricorders are personal ultratech scanning devices. Most will perform any of the five scanning modes listed below and require a successful Electronics Operation (Science) roll to operate. The Data Tricorder is the standard issue. An exception is the Medical Tricorder which requires a successful Electronics Operation (Medical) roll to make use of its accompanying wand; it is standard issue for Medical officers.

Imaging: Use to determine the shape of nearby (<2000 yards) small objects, even if they are behind light brush or clothing. Will give a +3 when Searching for concealed weapons and the like. A successful Electronics Operation (Science) roll could identify someone’s face.

Scan: Use to gain information on distant (<2000 yards) nonliving objects, even if they are behind 6” of solid matter. Will give information about composition and radiation emissions. Allows use of scientific skills, e.g. Chemistry, Physics, Engineering.

Bioscan: Use to obtain vital signs and biochemical information of a single nearby (<2000 yards) target, even if it is inside a spaceship. Allows use of Biology and Diagnosis skills.

Search: Use to track distant (<10 miles) moving objects (5” or larger), even through smoke/rain. Moving objects will appear as blips with speed, altitude, location, and approximate size.

Radscan: Use to detect electric and/or magnetic fields assuming there are any to detect with a +6. Will provide range, strength, and bearing. Allows use of Physics skill to analyze the radiation.

Data Tricorder

The standard issue tricorder. It has slots for three IRD chips (none of the specialized models do). It costs $3200. An IRD (Interactive Relational Database) chip provides a +2 bonus to a single skill. Cost $30 to $100. LC4.)

Science Tricorder

+2 to Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

Geology Tricorder

+2 to any geology-related skill. Can penetrate/sense minerals or rocks at 10x normal range, but has no Bioscan mode.

Medical Tricorder

+2 to all medical-related skills, +2 to Physiology rolls (if programmed in advance for that species). A hand-held wand must be within 1’ of the patient to gain these bonuses. Electronic Operation (Medical) skill is needed to use the hand-held wand.

Engineering Tricorder

+2 to Mechanic; hardened against EMPs and the like.

Tactical Tricorder

In Search, Bioscan, or Imaging mode, it can track up to 10 targets at normal range, ID them at 1/10 normal range, and give a +3 to hit them with indirect fire. Carried by combat officers. Costs $10,000. LC2.
