   << Also, has anyone got some cool ideas for gizmos they would 
  like to swap. I have a couple and, until we get the Junker sourcebook, 
  I am keen to find some new ones.  Any takers? >>

  Okay... Here's another one of mine, the first (150 point) invention of a
Junker character of mine, in his own words...


  Deacon Reghr's Survival Suit
  -----------------------------------------

  "My name is Deacon Reghr, and I am a gypsy.  I am also a Junker, and a
doctor, and, these past 13 years, a mutant.  I require twice as much
sustenance as a normal person, and so I created an artificial intelligence for
my infantry battlesuit that does an incredible job of absorbing moisture out
of the air and recycling my urine...  All right, stop, all right?  It's
totally filtered and processed, and is, down to the molecular level, water.
All right?
  "It also sees what I see, either in daylight, or at night, depending on if I
turn those sensors on or not.  This allows the AI to analyze my environment
and the suit tells me what plants are edible, which inedible plants can be
safely processed into food, and where animals might be found and caught, which
are placed into a pouch on my right thigh for processing.
  "All of this allows the suit to create food and water for me as I travel.
It also removes my waste products, purifies them, and releases the ensuing
powder from micropores in the soles of my boots.
  "The food pellets end up in the pouch attached to my left thigh, and the
water into cells throughout the suit.  The pellets and the water are then sent
up into my helmet, where I can eat and drink in a sealed environment, if
necessary.  I can always remove the pellets from the pouch or drain the water
from a spigot on my right hip, if I don't feel like wearing the helmet while
eating.
  "But it certainly has saved my life in some towns, where I would have been
killed if the inhabitants had known that I was not only a gypsy, but a mutant
as well...
  "Just another bit of survival inherent in my design..."
