The Confectioneer was a mad genius who had a long string of largely unsuccessfull roberies. This was only balanced by the fact that his bizarre criminal style was to use weapons that were entirely edible, thus depriving the police of necessary evidence. With his goons Sweettooth and Buzz and his attractive martial artist girlfriend Melba Peach. He began a sugar coated reign of terror that finally came to a halt when the masked vigilante Nocturne put paid to him and his hangers-on. This weapon was confiscated by police and was used as evidence at his trial.
It can fire 6 charges of Custard from it's nozzle opening. This Custard becomes molecularly unstable when above 23 degrees so after a couple of seconds at room temperature it bursts into flame. It fires much like a regular rifle and does 5 levels of lethal damage. If the backpack mounted refrigeration unit is shut off or destroyed, the tank will combust within 30 seconds for the remainder of the chrages in the tank.
Law enforcement officials should be aware that the Confectioneer recently escaped from prison with a pistol sculpted from baker's chocolate. He may come looking for this weapon.
Nocturne's Gas Pistols
R&D 15 days
Base lab time 15 days
Base Construction time 12 hours
Effect Advancement with one option (Changes gun damage from lethal to bashing or special)
Secondary function (none)
Charges ( holds a clip of 10 shots)
These two guns (NapTime and Sweetdream) are actually a very sophisticated form of aerosol can. The weapons are loaded with a liquid solution (most commonly DMSO and Thorazine) and the internal mechanism renders them into aerosol gas which can be fired up to 15 feet away. Victims who are affected by this gas take damage as if from a heavy pistol but bashing only. It should be noted that this weapon cannot be soaked against unless the target has resistance and Nocturne has noted that Stalwarts with body of Bronze are completely unaffected by it. Under windy conditions this weapon may become an area affect or become completely ineffective. Victims rendered unconcious by the guns stay that way for 12 hours minus their Stamina score.
It should be noted that Nocturne wears a gas mask, heavy clothing and heavy rubber gloves when firing this gun. Persons not so protected might find themselves going to sleep if they aren't carefull.
The Pegasus
R&D 122 days
Base lab time 122 days
Base Construction time 2-3 months
Options: Fuel efficient,+4 to manuever, +6 armor, Vehicle weapons mount, +3 accuracy,+50% to weapons range.
The Pegasus is a personal autogyro designed specifically by Baron Zorbo and built by his cadre of mechanics. it is a single seated dual bladed autgyro with an impressive array of directional booster jets and gyroscopic stabilizers on it's underside which offer it's pilot an impressive amount of manuevering control (but not much in the way of extra speed.) These craft are able to take off and land on a another moving vehicle (they are specifically designed to be able to touch down on a zeppelin cargo deck.)
This fingertip control extends even to the gyroscopically stabilized weapons mount (The pilot may choose a modular vehicle mount weapon to connect to this array and the designer has even thoughtfully installed a powerful red light that attaches to the weapon which can increase shooter accuracy and range.
All this is not without cost. The Pegasus is by necessity, not able to support speed modifications and has no cargo or passenger space at all. The vehicle requires regular maintenance, a talented pilot (with a pilot score of 3 or better) and they are very expensive to build in the first place. A present there are only six. 5 of which belong to a group called the Valkyries which are Zorbo's elite female air squad. one he retains for his personal use. (and he constantly tinkers with it, when he has time.)
The Pilot of the Pegasus must actually sit astride the engine as if they were a horse. There are direction controls that can be worked by the pilots knees (allthough hand control is best for manuevering work)
This leaves the pilot's hand free for other things. Many of the Valkyries carry a matched pair of pistols in case their weapons jam or run out of ammo.
