the Ferret

The Ferret is a small, four wheeled all-terrain vehicle used by the criminal Cobra organization. They are lightweight and heavily armed, and can be used for a variety of purposes, from high speed raids to simple sentry work. Cobra's Ferrets have a m.s. of 8, and the following vehicular characteristics:

Cobra-band Radio (i): Cobra gear uses a communication system of its own, not beholden to conventional broadcast standards. The Ferret in particular has comm gear with a intensity 4 range (25 miles), and benefits from intensity 8 signal encryption as well.

Com-Bat Rockets (i): the Ferret has two small rockets mounted between its off-road tires. These rockets are 'laser seeking' projectiles, meaning they fly towards any target highlighted with a targeting beam. They inflict intensity 9 damage, raised by +1 if both hit their target.

Lightning Speed (a): making up for what it lacks in durability and protection, the Ferret has plenty of speed to spare. It possesses this ability at intensity 3, which allows it to zip along on relatively level terrain at 90 m.p.h., though it must go slower on rougher terrain.

Machine Guns (a): the Ferret has twinned 20mm machine guns mounted on the front, which is aimed by the steering wheel; it points at whatever the wheel is. It can be fired to inflict the driver's Agility +6 damage in a short burst, raised to +7 damage full-auto.

Side Slug Cannon (a): this long-barreled cannon is mounted on the side of the Ferret, resting to the driver's left. It can be loaded with up to ten 50mm shells, each of which can be fired to inflict the driver's Agility +7 damage, but can only hit whatever is in front of the Ferret.
