Automated Defense Sentries (ADS)

Defensive tools that can be used to help secure areas the JLA operates in, such as war zones, riots, and other areas where nonlethal force is required against several threats to public safety. They are most effective when used on those without mutant or metahuman abilities or low-powered extrahuman threats. These defense sentries may be called in remotely through the JLA's teleportation matrix, allowing for quick responses to even the most dire emergencies.

Rubberic Foam Turrets

No Caption Provided

Rubberic Foam is a highly adhesive material that expands rapidly when exposed to even low levels of electric charge. When charged, it rapidly fills with gas (which passes easily through its membrane) while being near invulnerable to crushing, cutting, tearing, or piercing forces (due to its incredible malleability and ability to "bounce back" into a preprogrammed shape and form). After the charge ceases, the molecular structure of the adhesive begins to decay quite rapidly while maintaining the ability to breathe, allowing those caught within its confines to breathe through it relatively easily (though with some discomfort). Over the course of the next eight hours, the adhesive begins to decay, growing less and less potent and eventually falling off entirely when it reverts to its inert "foam" state.

No Caption Provided

Before then, however, those caught within the adhesive spheres will find it very difficult to move, as the material adheres to almost any surface with great efficacy, rendering even foes immobile for prolonged periods of time.

Effective Range: 75m

Cryogenic Defense Turrets

No Caption Provided

The Cryo Defense System can be deployed from almost any surface effectively, and is a suitable, less-lethal form of subdual and containment. The turret first fires a preperatory solution, which quickly prompts organic matter for freezing while also allowing them to thaw unharmed, and then deploys the cryo-solution itself, snap freezing targets without permanently damaging tissue and organs.

Effective Range: 10m

Barricades and Defensive Structures

Defensive measures meant to fortify an existing structure or create barriers and obstacles between those that seek to do harm and those that seek to avoid it. These can be called in remotely through the JLA's teleportation matrix, much like the sentries above.

Rubberic Portable Barrier

No Caption Provided

A thick layer of Rubberic Foam, stretched over an easily deployed frame that can adjust to near any dimension. Once fully deployed over an area, the user can then activate the wall itself, charging the foam and spreading the adhesive past the outer bounds of the frame, effectively securing a barrier composed of Rubberic Foam over a steel bar grid, preventing entry by all but the most persistent of trespassers.

The foam itself must be charged once every two hours to maintain maximum adhesion and efficacy, though once deployed the barrier's automated timer will charge the material without the need for further action on the user's part.

The highly flexible adhesive material is rated to withstand a force of up to 5 tons per square inch without tearing, though several layers piled atop one another (and adjoined with the material's natural adhesive properties) would provide a more durable obstacle between the user and possible trespassers.

Energy Barrier Generator

No Caption Provided

A generator which projects a sheathe of energy between itself and another similarly stationed generator opposite to it. These walls manifest themselves as tall blue barriers which are practically impassable. Physical objects and conventional projectiles which strike the wall lose all momentum and fall near the ground, draining the energy shields in proportion to the kinetic energy dissipated by the shield. This effect is replicated for plasma, energy, and telekinetic assault.

While the shield is designed to absorb tremendous amounts of punishment without faltering, the generators themselves are vulnerable. It is for this reason that overlapping generators are often used, with conventional obstacles (such as concrete or steel) placed strategically to cover those most vulnerable to assault.

Personal Equipment

A variety of gadgets, weapons, and other miscellaneous gear that any JLA member might carry on them at any given time. These are all located in the armory, and may only be checked out by members (active and reserve) of the JLA. In an emergency, these tools can also be teleported in pre-packaged supply drops by way of the JLA's teleportation matrix, though transporting individual tools not pre-packaged would require the active involvement of JLA staff on the base, and so will take longer than standard supply drops, or may not occur at all should the staff find itself deployed or otherwise unable to find/port the item in question.

JLA "Quick-Comm" Wrist Communicator

No Caption Provided

The JLA "Quick-Comm" Wrist Communicator is just one communication option out of many allowed to members of the prestigious organization. It provides an encrypted link to the JLA Watchtower, allowing its wearer to request supplies, extraction, or deployment utilizing the Justice League Alliance's advanced teleportation array.

It also provides crisp audio quality when utilized with the accompanying earpiece and microphone, both of which are also synched to the wearer and the JLA's teleportation array, allowing them to be summoned or dismissed at will, even when misplaced or stolen.

The holographic display provides the user with interactable light constructs that can be used to type out messages, summon preset supply-drops or defensive tools to their position, or ping other members and the Watchtower with a distress signals to notify others of impending or current personal harm.

No Caption Provided

Other optional accessories include an augmented reality visor which synchs to the user in much the same way the earpiece and microphone do. This device provides its user with tactical data, highlights possible dangers in the environment, enables a customizable heads up display, and, when paired with one or more remote-controlled Sonar Enabling Spheres, create a 3D map of the nearby area complete with objects and individuals that currently occupy it.

While many choose this communicator for its ease of use, portability, and the bevvy of additional features, its signal strength does not quite match that of previous communicators, making it a slightly less reliable option when compared to the communicators of yesteryear.

Accessory — Augmented Reality Visor

No Caption Provided

The Augmented Reality Visor, or ARV, is highly adaptable and programmable transparent metal display device that allows users to keep abreast of their current situation while also providing necessary information (such as threat identification, communication with teammates, objective markers, and predicted projectile trajectory markers) without requiring the need to divert attention to a secondary device.

Sonar Enabling Spheres

No Caption Provided

The Sonar Enabling Sphere (SES) uses high-frequency pulses of ultrasonic sound to map out a limited area around the sphere itself, often relaying this information to a linked heads-up display or smart mobile device (such as a JLA communicator). It is mobility-optional device that can be programmed to "patrol" an area, thus providing an active map of who or what enters a particular are and their current position.

The SES is not limited solely to ultrasonic sounds, however, and can emit life-like imitations of footsteps, gunshots, chatter, screaming, whispers, etc. in order lure away the opposition, take advantage of superstitious foes, or sow confusion.

Handheld Rubberic Foam Launcher

No Caption Provided

A personal Rubberic Foam launcher that allows its user to rapidly immobilize or constrain targets without the need to port in heavy automated equipment.

The foam functions in exactly the same way as that found in the Rubberic Foam Sentry Turret, though the amount contained within is limited by the weapon's compact size. The laser mounted on the side of the barrel also allows for the foam to be recharged by ionizing the air and following up with a high ampere electrical shock, resetting the eight hour counter on the foam's decay and allowing its user to maintain control of those caught in the foam's confines for longer than usual. This function also works for foam launched by sentries, making this tool useful in events where prolonged riot control is necessary.

Tracking Ammunition

No Caption Provided

In the event that an individual or individuals cannot be contained at the scene of a crime for any reason, tracking ammunition can be deployed from specialized, variable-power 9mm rounds. The amount of force and piercing power varies according to the differing physiologies the JLA might encounter, ranging from low-power rounds that do not penetrate deeply into conventional human muscle to those designed for use upon more durable individuals, which are capable of piercing most conventional body armors. It is imperative that these be stored separately, as confusion between the two can lead to ineffective results, injury, or death.

The bio-organic jacket of each bullet melts within the targeted subject, dissolving rapidly in water-based solutions (such as blood) and leaving behind a tiny tracking chip (1mm x 0.25mm) which will allow the JLA to track their position for up to 24 hours.

Handheld Bola Deployment Unit

No Caption Provided

A portable, reload-able device which deploys an incredibly durable length of rope, meant to ensnare those it is deployed against.

The magnetic hooks wrap around targets several times before hooking into the rope itself or the opposite hook, the powerful electro-magnetic tips activating as soon as force is applied to remove the rope. This ensures that even if the hooks did not properly latch onto each other on deployment, they still have a high chance of tangling after the fact and may even hold their target through magnetic force alone.

Restraint and Rapid Removal Cuff

No Caption Provided

A cut resistant cuff linked together by powerful electromagnets. This GPS tracking cuff magnetizes along its entire length once deployed, affixing targets to nearby magnetic materials and ensuring tight closure around the wrist or ankle.

The GPS signal is constantly monitored and tracked by the JLA's central computer, with the cuff itself broadcasting a destination signal to the JLA's teleportation matrix at all times. This destination is the JLA's personal brig, a confinement area built specifically to deal with metahumans who may possess abnormal strength, telepathic ability, speed, energy projection, teleportation capabilities, and the ability to radiate energy in harmful levels.

I've got to integrate some of that into my tech. Too bad I don't have enough tokens for that. Damn.

Neat stuff. Don't want to be on the receiving end of the top two.
