tech department

"Great!" The police chief responded in relief. "I understand this is an odd case, and I appreciate you doing this."

Shannon smiled, though inside she was totally confused.

"Your job is simply to get proof that the academy is committing some sort of crime, then call for extraction. Don't risk yourself, but don't jump the gun and call for help before proof is in hand." He explained. "Now, go down to the science and tech department, they're working on your covert gear for the case.

Shannon shook his hand, then walked out the door. As she walked down the hall she realized her knees were shaking. Was this really happening? Was she about to go undercover.... as a teen? she drew a breath to steady herself before entering the science department.

this area was far larger then the area all the police officer's shared. The tech heads needed it for equipment and experimentation. A vast wide ceiling room lined with computers, strange machines and men in lab coats everywhere, reading display screens or tinkering with strange devices. Shannon went unnoticed for a moment before a man in a lab coat came over to shake her hand.

"Sorry if we didn't see you." He said. "We were just putting the last touches on your gear."

"What do you have for me?" Shannon asked. He escorted her over to a table nearby, lined with tools and half finished machines. He picked up a butterfly hair clip.

"This has your radio built in." he explained. 'Squeeze the clip to speak into it. There will be backup waiting hearby to extract you." Shannon examined the hair clip. A little silly, but I guess that's what they were going for.

"Here we have your camera, for obtaining photographic proof of wrongdoing." He held up a broach. 'clip it to the front your uniform, then simply squeeze the sides of it to take a picture. Try to hold it steady, it's not the highest definition."

"What about defense?' Shannon asked. "I assume I won't be bringing my pistol."

"Correct. So, for emergency self defense we've just finished disguising a few objects. We were told to keep it non lethal, since there will be so many minors on the scene. So, first there's this." He held up a retainer. "this breaks in half quite easily. Take it out of your mouth, snap it in two then throw it at any hostiles. Once broken it will release a sleeping gas that's quite powerful, rendering several opponents **** instantly."

"wait, I have to wear a retainer?" Shannon asked.

"Yes." The tech explained. "Unfortunately, we had to disguise all your gear as objects a teen girl would have. Since the Blunther Academy wears a standard uniform, we were very limited on what we could give you that you could carry on your person."

"Lastly, we have this." He showed her a plain ring with a red gem on it. "Once you put the ring on don't take it off until you intend to use it. It has a powerful taser charge that will be emitted five seconds after you take it off. To use, take it off, then try to slip it in an enemy's pocket or somewhere on their body. Throw it at them if you have to. Press the gem twice to disarm it, once to reactivate."

Shannon held the handful of strange items.

"Well, that's your equipment." The tech said. "Now, the real difficulty, how to make you look like a believable teenager...
