Tools of the Trade
Agents have access to a number of special items to make their jobs easier. Information on them is found below.
Communicator: The all-purpose communicator takes the form of a handheld PDA with a holographic interface projection and a high grade of protection. It allows you to transmit messages or even video or data to other agents at will, and comes with a built-in roster. You can also password protect or otherwise filter the messages you send from others, although passwords can be hacked or guessed at if not properly protected, so those who aren't really good at such things won't always be successful.
The communicator has a backup translation program which goes into standby mode in other worlds. While your language set is overridden in various worlds, the translator function can still be activated in situations where you do not speak the equivalent language being spoken to you, but depending on the situation, openly using it may not be the best of ideas.
Finally, communicators are not restricted by worlds, they are keyed into a Gate Key and can transmit visual and audio data to Confuto Ordinatio and even to other worlds (routed through Confuto Ordinatio's primary database). This feature allows agents in multiple worlds to keep in contact with each other and Confuto Ordinatio at all times.
Gate Key: The Gate Key is an Agent's most important item. It allows them to traverse through different gates at will.
Agent Badge: The Agent Badge is more than just a symbol of office. It has a holographic overlay that can be changed on the fly and is sensitive to the world and the need, making it integral in gaining access to many top organizations within worlds. The badge mimics whatever pattern it is necessary using state-of-the-art conversation patterning and world recognition fused with high-level divination magic, so when it is flashed, it always looks like the the right badge for the job.
Portal Analyzer: No Agent should leave home without their trusty portal analyzer. It gives them the ability to discern where new portals might take them and helps them bind them to Confuto Ordinatio's space or even close particularly troublesome rifts. Not all portals respond to the same action, but the Portal Analyzer is designed to figure out the portal's exact function and transmit the data to the Agent.
Memory Wiper: This device is only entrusted to Enforcers, it allows them to wipe the memories of those who witness Agents or find out about the organization. It is a short-term mask, there are specialists who can do more complete memory wipes and restructures in the case of suspended Agents or the like.
