Pre-Req: Combat Tactics
Through the use of modern technology, Gentech scientists have invented a
small, portable holographic projector. In the labs, this device provided
hours of amusement for the technicians as they simulated their own
hard at work images while they were actually safe at home, sleeping.
Their bosses reported that the images were so lifelike, they never knew
the difference.
This miracle technology can now be yours. By purchasing the "hologen"
device in the Gentech shop, you can use the device to foil those
evil biological units that would attempt to follow you away from
combat. As long as the hologen is active, your foes will instead follow
the holographic image, attempting to engage it in battle.
Be warned, however, this technology is not perfect. Due to the large power
requirements, the image can only be sustained for a very short period
of time (less than 1 minute of "real" time). Most monsters can then use
the leftover hologen projector to track back to your casing and will
immediately re-engage you in combat.
Additionally, scouts have reported that this weapon is less than effective
against some aggressive members of society -- known only as the PK faction,
these monsters are said to possess a superior ability to see through the
hologen, although, even they have been confused from time to time.
