MISSION 4 INVENTIONS

As you may remember, the RSS Mission 4 was to invent a device for use against the rabid squirrels. There was an excellent response, so this issue of Rabid Times has been dedicated to your creations. Any other articles I have will be saved for the next issue. The best invention was Old Sock... by Rob Dordan, so he will be promoted to the rank of Big Slayer.

I have made a couple of additions to the webpage. The first is the 'Rabid Squirrel Detector' [no longer in place], and the second is the Gallery of Blood at www.RabidSquirrels.co.uk. Both are amazing.

Old Sock Dressed Like A Female Squirrel And A Pistol

Lately I have been spending most of my research time trying to incorporate today's technology into the war against the squirrels.  After spending three days straight in my lab I created the perfect weapon against the squirrels.  I call it the "Old sock dressed like a female squirrel and a pistol".  The weapon consists of two separate parts.  The first part is an old sock dressed up to look like a female squirrel; this can be easily done with some cottonballs, markers, and lipstick.  The second part is what I like to call a "pistol" (Processed Instantaneous Squirrel Termination- OL being my initials).  This "pistol" fires off metal casings that contain an explosive substance to propel the metal and penetrate the squirrel skin.  To use this two-pieced weapon you must put the sock on one hand, and duck behind a large rock, sticking the hand with the sock above the rock.  Soon an evil squirrel will run up and attempt to reproduce with the sock, as this happens raise the "pistol" and fire it at the little bastard.

I move that we immediately begin mass production of the "Old sock dressed like a female squirrel and a pistol"s.  This new technology will finally give us the edge against the squirrels.

Gemini Bullet

As I am sure very few of you know I am very interested in the field of pyrotechnics (explosions, bombs, etc...), and lately I have been working with delaying explosions for scientific reasons (yeah right). I have developed a new weapon for our war against the Rabid Squirrels! - The Gemini Bullet.

This bullet fits in any normal sniper rifle and has a delayed explosive tip. Meaning 2 seconds after impact with the squirrel it explodes. This is good for many reasons. One, pure enjoyment, wouldn't you just love to see rabid squirrel guts splattered on a wall! Two, you can kill multiple squirrels, for instance you shoot one and they gather around to see what happens and BOOM! (Dead rabid squirrels everywhere!) Three, some squirrels are a little bigger, the bigger squirrels I have found need a few extra bullets, but with the use of the explosion one hit takes them down fast and easily...(have not yet tested on robots)

Slicer

After many hours of testing, and looking over blueprints, I have emerged from my workspace with the weapon with the simple name of Slicer. This weapon is for those of the more stealthy capabilities. What it is... the base of a blender, along with blades...attached to a cage... there are tracks for the blender to slide up and down... The way it works is, the agent captures the beast in the cage... they then proceed to switch the blender to any setting which best suits the death they like.... the slow death with the low setting, and the very very bloody mess with the puree setting, quite a mess indeed.

FANG

Name: FANG (Flame-throwing Attack Napalm Gun {yeah, it is a redundant name and kinda lame at that})

Description: A flamethrower that uses napalm. The fuel container weighs 150 lbs. when fully loaded. It is used to breach squirrel defences. It can shoot flames up to 50 yards, but that will use nearly a pound of fuel every 2 minutes. It will, however, destroy most squirrel defences and most squirrels. It also has a safety that only humans can operate (the safety requires dexterity of a human, so some humans may not be able to operate it.) The napalm is concentrated so the backpack is 3 feet tall (from small of back to head on most adult male humans). Those using FANG require heatproof suits, lest they be burned to a crispy shell of themselves. If necessary, the gun can be self-destructed, but that requires a user password. The password is 6 alphanumerics long. It can encoded for any language from Chinese Mandarin to some odd Conlang, depending on how safe you want it to be.

Scouting Goggles

A new weapon to add to the RSS's arsenal of weaponry are Scouting goggles. These goggles, once set, are able to detect any and all rabid squirrels within a kilometre.  All RABID SQUIRRELS appear red, while all un-rabid squirrels appear blue. The goggles can also be set to read other various species of animals

Viscorator

My lord I have an excellent weapon for our fight against the rabid foes. The weapons name is The VISCORATOR, this advanced weapon uses a rare alloy called pokissiomtiaon witch is a combination of IRON ARGON GOLD LITHIUM. This alloy can be heated to an extreme temperature to create a density heat ray that could turn any enemy to cinders; the weapon looks a little like this:

                      #@@))))))

           ******  # # @@]]]]]]]]]-----

           *           ##

 

The @ symbol indicates the alloy. This weapon will help us destroy those rabid foes.

Exploding Dummy

Since rabid squirrels love bleeding human corpses (corpi??) set up a dummy made of plastique with either a proximity fuse, a timed fuse, or set it to explode when the squirrels bite in... then cover it in gore and cloned intestines and all that wonderful camouflage. Then set in woods using a reformed digging mole manoeuvre, and just wait, hee hee.

S.F. Sucker

Rig a hoover vacuum with a small lawnmower engine, a radio guide and a special containment facility.  The hoover is used simply to capture the squirrel without actively endangering the hunter, all the real magic is located in the containment facility.  With an assortment of hypnopaedia, lights and LSD derivatives, we begin using the Vietnam era tactic of winning the hearts of the enemy.  After going through total readjustment, we release the reformed rabid squirrel to seek and destroy other rabid squirrels.  if the LSD derivatives fail to induce voluntary action, then they can be replaced with addictive agents like crystal methamphetamine, crack, or various opiates.  MDMA was considered but it was decided, after various testing, that this would cause the squirrel to be dangerous to nothing and just lead to it giving lots of hugs.

Long Range Laser

This laser can see through walls with X-ray scope, and it can also penetrate through any kind of armour. It shoots a strong electric blast, strong enough to fry and kill anything!

The RSS Squirrel Annihilator (RSS-TS-4)

Description: Using the new natural gas technology, this weapon fires a wave of heat that melts every carbon-based organism in its path.

This contraption looks like a fruit basket, but with further analysation you will notice a strange fruit on one side of it that oddly looks like a red button that says, "Only press while facing away from nozzle, and only upon spotting Rabid Squirrels". It contains a tank of natural gas and a tank of propane; these two gasses combine in the "combining stage" to create a mixture the passes through the "fire stage" which lights it on fire. This fire burns at 9,000,037.6004 degrees centigrade. The range of this weapon is limited though, only shooting out 30 metres. It would've burned at double the temperature, and 6 times the distance, but those damn commies in the UN decided it wouldn't give the Rabid Squirrels a fair chance to annihilate human kind, so we had to cut it back. (We believe the Rabid Squirrels have insiders in the United Nations, more on this in future updates). To make sure we don't hurt anything that Green Peace would complain more about, we attached the YZ-67 Carboniser onto the weapon; this contraption dispenses a wave that covers the entire field of fire that grabs everything without carbon on it and sends it into the fourth dimension for a time so only carbon-based organisms get destroyed. Be warned, this weapon is only a prototype and hasn't been regulated by the BATF, FDA, NRA, or MOD. These weapons are considered a little bit "illegal" in most countries, including Germany, England, USA, Canada, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, Botswana, Japan, an 87 other countries (go to the website www.killallfacistdungbeetles.org for the full list), so conceal it when possible. There have also been stories, unverified, of this weapon exploding after holding the "fire" button longer than 35 seconds, and when a banana gets shoved in the nozzle (which is the coconut), so BE WARNED. The going price of this weapon is steep though, going for almost $5, but you have to get it charged before use, which costs about $25. This is one of the most useful weapons in our arsenal presently, but we've only got 14.3 models. If you can get your hand on this, keep it in your collection, right next to you picture of Bea Author.

Porcupine Armour

Trap about twenty porcupines, skin them, and sew the hides together to create a porcupine suit. It will keep the rabid squirrels from attacking for fear of being pricked by the needles. Even the most aggressive rabid squirrels will not attempt to come at you with this on!! Ah ha! Take that, rabid squirrels!

The first test subject came back today with a rabid squirrel stuck to his back dead as a doornail. This proved the suit is efficient and will have a great impact in the combat of these mangy creatures.

Anti-RS Grenade

I have managed in the past few weeks to slowly whittle down the RS's defences, and have found that they have also been quiet for a while. As the mission briefing suggests, I have developed in its entirety now the Anti-RS Grenade. It is a small glass orb filled with a modified pathogen derived from 4-4 Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (the ever popular pesticide DDT). This is fired from a home made grenade launcher, the plans for which can be found in any copy of "The Anarchists Cookbook 2000" (refer to page www.secureroot.com for download). I do, however recommend a further testing before the implementation of this device, as the pathogen could be dangerous to the RSS if he should fracture the orb while loading the cannon.

When I have found a way to counteract this problem, I shall notify you with the final plans for the Anti-RS Grenade Launcher.

The Lynx Effect

I have also managed to develop a small device that can be used by the under-cover operatives. It consists of a small can of Lynx Deodorant, a cigarette lighter, and some sticky tape. It is used as a small incendiary device, placed at the entrance of the RS's lair. Simply tape down the top of the Lynx can, light the spray, and position flame into the entrance of the lair. When the gas has run down sufficiently (cooking the RS's :) ), the can will explode, sealing the entrance so any that survived can not get out. I have decided this should be known as "The Lynx Effect"

Laser Beam Trap

I have a "Defence" that I will describe to you.  First I get a taxidermied squirrel. No, not a real rabid squirrel, but a regular squirrel. I then take it home and mock it up to look like rabid squirrel.  Then I paint a red bulls-eye on it. This scares the squirrels away and into my laser beam trap that slices off their feet thus preventing them from moving.

The Nutty Trickster Killer Machine

I used an old auto tennis ball lobbing machine, but instead of regular tennis balls, I drilled a small hole inside and put a special quick flesh decaying acid. I then plugged up the hole, and on the outside of the ball I coated it with extra sticky peanut butter (the rabids love the stuff!) I then lob the balls at the little buggers, which stick to their fur... as they discover it's evil deliciousness, in licking the ball they dislodge the plug, and spill my special acid all over themselves... the results are gory yet spectacular! Have you ever seen a rabid squirrel dissolve slowly? It's not a pretty sight, and yet a necessary one.

Nickle

Hey, how about a nickel that you put in your ear and take it out and you're invincible and the nickel is now a really long sword. The only thing is it makes you go insane but really strong and makes you a god after the meteor destroys earth in 7 days while you’re floating in your little haven. (What the..? - MH)

Jack-In-The-Box-Killer-Monkey

Hello my friends, my invention I just happened to get finished is a jack-in-the-box-killer-monkey!!!!!!? And you send it to the rabid squirrels and put on it To: You, From: Mommy, Merry Christmas!! They open it and a monkey jumps out with two G-18's in one hand and two explosive bullet Uzis in thee other hand and two high-tech super explosive heat seeking rocket launchers!! (with laser sights too).
