[QUOTE="JaceElliott, post: 2500785, member: 855631"] I've been working on a spy novel for a while, just dabbling with it, and I'm nearing the point where I'll be introducing the gadgets. I want to avoid anything to cliche', but I want them to be interesting for the reader, as creative as possible, and, most of all, plausible. They should be a kind of or simmilar to an actual kind of advanced/experimental tech, but one step further, as it will either be something the goverment supressed, or something designed by a super-genius. It also needs to be something that MI6 or a CIA/FBI joint-taskforce would allow a pair of young (16 years-old or so; it's inspired by the Alex Rider series) boys to use. This means nothing to leathal; no guns what-so-ever. Well, maybe a speargun, pellet gun, dart-gun, or something of that sort, but no actual firearms. And make them really unique. Maybe a couple of things that seem pretty useless at the time (like the bullet-proof ski suit Alex gets from Smithers in Point Blank) but that I'll find an ingenius use for along the way. It wouldn't hurt to make them bad-one-liner-friendly either. [/QUOTE]
