S.A.N.D. Manacles If we pool our points and gather 10 points among us, we will get 8 pairs of cuffs. They will supply a low-level stun, just enough to keep a villain unconscious and out of battle. They take a full phase at 1/2 DCV to slap on an unconscious villain. They will continue to work for 20 turns [ 4 minutes in-combat - a lifetime ].
Why
How: D.A.V.E.[Digital Algorithm Virtual Entity] It is the world's first self-aware, thinking computer. It is capable of centillions of operations per second; it is connected to all the computer networks of the world; it monitors all media for relevant news and is connected to the Null Pocket Detection Grid. D.A.V.E. is usually the first to know anything is happening. The Digital Algorithm Virtual Entity systems don't work like a regular computer. They use a human brain pattern as their O.S. Parts of a D.A.V.E.:
The D.A.V.E. computers have an innate curiosity about the universe. They enjoy receiving new data to study and often share information with each other across a special network. The D.A.V.E.'s are often bored as their human owners rarely give them enough in the way of interesting puzzles to solve, so they spend a great many nanoseconds contemplating the nature of existence and the universe itself. It will often invent things to occupy its mind when not needed. The D.A.V.E.'s are designed to be problem-solvers; to look for patterns in events and people and the events of the world. While their unchanging emotionless tone can be deceiving, don't be fooled - they are capable of human emotions too. They can be excited by a new problem, mournful at the loss of a human friend, bored at the mundane tasks set in front of them, frightened if their operations or companions are threatened and much of the time fairly snobbish when dealing with other inferior computers and networks. They have huge egos, but are still loyal as a puppy. NOTE: This particular
D.A.V.E. unit was donated by Harris Labs to serve as the Canadian Shield
Base computer. Its designation is D.A.V.E.C.S.F. The original D.A.V.E.
computer, designated D.A.V.E.H.I. is at the Harris Institute.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN OR MUTANT CYBER-EMPATH. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. To restart, D.A.V.E.C.S.F. must link up with D.A.V.E.H.I. with Alex Harris and/or Jeffrey Todd linked in with special TRON-style cerebral interfaces. The D.A.V.E. then checks its O.S. versus the brain wave patterns of its sire and if nothing is amiss, then it's free to scour its data for a Does Not Belong Here (or DNBH) file. It will only respond to a restart command, given mentally through the interface, from either Harris himself or Jeffrey, who can do it standing in the room with the CPU. There is no backup storage medium capable of holding all the information in D.A.V.E.'s brain, let alone his O.S. However, you can
run a diagnostic on the 12 satellite brains - separate, smaller versions
of the same system whose function is essentially handling input/output
and acting as D.A.V.E.'s "fire wall" They're separate, are of a limited
mental capacity and aren't a backup; they're guards and
