Signal Triangulator

Item

Image
Description	This networking tool is deeply integrated into some sort of hidden network… or perhaps even an entire class of comm networks that isn't normally visible. It handles the basic networking tasks admirably, but seems more focused on those comm networks. Hmmmmm… given enough area to move through and some peace and quiet, you should be able to triangulate the source of some of those comm networks. That's a pretty rare combination of traits, though, usually reserved for those that can enforce peace and quiet.

Uses

If your gang is on the Security gang warfare agenda and you already have full control, you'll get links to pirated sites while wandering around in that PvP zone:

An addendum to the Security gang warfare encounter:
Your triangulator discovers a powerful signal as you patrol. You wander far and wide, picking up details about the signal's origin.

You eventually track the signal to <a possible multitude of sites> in the very depths of the Net.

Or another similar result:

Your triangulator discovers a <mysterious/powerful> signal as you patrol. You patch it in to your gang's network, pulling down more data as you try to track the signal's origin.

You eventually track the signal to <a possible multitude of sites> in the very depths of the Net.

Sometimes the signal triangulator leads you to another gang warfare zone:

Your triangulator finds a signal leading to <gang warfare zone>.

This item is not a component for any sort of crafting.

This item cannot be added to a gang stash.
