Datascreen
Datascreens are the most simplistic interface for standard datacards, consisting of a small viewing screen and a few controls for scrolling through data, and limited interaction. They do not include a complete keyboard, and have no processing capability to speak of -- Therefore, while many well-written datacards may include indexes, datascreens don't utilize the much more powerful search engines that make it practical to sift through the reams of data that can be stored on a datacard, and they don't have the processing capability to make use of programs. Therefore, most datacard programs are useless on a datascreen. Pre-programmed datacards that contain information, however, can still be read -- Those that would normally give a +2 bonus on related Knowledge checks only give a +1 bonus when used with a datascreen, due to the more primitive interface.

Datascreens, purchased new, cost 25 credits, but it's often not hard to come across one for free -- Many corporations distribute datascreens with integral datacards that have some semblance of useful information ... and plenty of advertisements of the sponsor's products. With some tinkering, and by opening up the case, it's possible to substitute other datacards, and make use of the reader. However, swapping out datacards in this manner requires some basic tools and a Repair check against a DC of 10. Failure indicates that the flimsy datascreen has been damaged.

Datawriter
Datawriters are stripped-down versions of datapads that are used solely for the reading and writing of datacards. They can read datacards that have standard data on them, but do not have the processing capability to execute programs. Datawriters include small keyboards that are somewhat less convenient than a full-sized datapad, but are sufficient to be able to utilize search functions -- Therefore, datacards used in a datawriter give their full bonus toward Knowledge checks. Unlike datascreens, datawriters can be used to enter information on standard datacards.

Force Tape, Industrial
No civilization is properly advanced without the discovery of that wonder of wonders, duct tape. This a roll of tape comprised of synthetic fibers and adhesive, typically grey on the outside, and light on the adhesive side, though it is available in various colors. With several thousand years of development, force tape is improved over ordinary duct tape in that it holds up better under temperature extremes, and has a more durable grip. Bands of the adhesive tape, however, are still designed such that sections can be torn off by hand.

Liquid Cable Dispenser
Liquid cable dispensers contain a substance that, when exposed to air, expands and forms a fairly tough and durable cable, up to a maximum length of 20 meters. The dispenser can be refilled with liquid at authorized stations. While a liquid cable dispenser is initially more expensive than buying a syntherope dispenser, it is more compact, refills are cheap, and the produced cable is actually more durable than syntherope.

Pole, Collapsing
This is the proverbial ten-foot pole -- or, more accurately, a three-meter pole -- with the added feature of being able to collapse down to a more portable length of 50 centimeters (a bit over one and a half feet). The flexible but sturdy synthetic material, textured grip and variable length makes this item useful for pole-vaulting, propping engine access hatches open, and bludgeoning hostile creatures. (In the latter application, this device may be treated as a quarterstaff, once adjusted and locked to a suitable length.) Care should be taken when the pole is released from its compressed position, as the tips shoot out from both ends of the center grip. Anyone foolish enough to be standing in close proximity of the pole when it extends is in danger of taking 1d4 damage from the impact.

Syntherope Dispenser
A syntherope dispenser is the lower-tech version of a liquid cable dispenser. Rather than consisting of a small pod with liquid contents that turn into solid cable upon exposure to air, syntherope is a pre-fabricated, very sturdy and thin cable that is wound tightly in a compact dispenser, easily played out up to a full length of 20 meters. It's significantly cheaper than liquid cable, but weighs more and takes up more space. (You can't just stuff it in a pocket). It's also less durable than liquid cable.

Wall-Crawlers
This is a set of gloves, knee-pads and boots, available for Medium- and Small-sized creatures, designed specifically for climbing sheer surfaces. It works by having a supply of a tacky adhesive and a caustic spray in each glove and boot, and a self-cleaning system that keeps the surfaces from clogging up too quickly with dust and debris picked up from the climbing surface. That said, this set is only useful for climbing up solid surfaces. It provides no benefit for climbing up dirt-crusted walls, crumbling cliffs, or piles of foliage, because the particles that the adhesive sticks to will simply pull away, negating any benefit the grip might give.

Wearing a "wall-crawler" glove gives a +2 bonus to Strength checks when gripping onto a surface, and using the full set gives a +5 bonus to attempts to climb sheer surfaces.

It should be noted that the surface climbed using a set like this will leave tell-tale marks, and that some especially slick surfaces are resistant even to wall-crawlers.

Once the glove/boot set is activated, the adhesive dispenser and self-cleaning action operates for approximately two hours before a refill is required. A single refill is sufficient to replenish the entire set.
