JUNKER'S EQUIPMENT JUNKER'S BLOOD Runners have adopted the following two blood transfusion techniques for lowering the risk of death due to injuries suffered in the line of duty. (1) Artificial Blood Exchange Artificial blood is supplied through biogenetic culturing techniques. When sufficient quanities of their natural blood are available, the two blood types are swapped once again. While artificial blood can be produced in unlimited quanities, making it useful in cases of massive blood loss, its ion structure places strain on the recipient's organs, making prolonged use unadvisable. (2) Self-Donation (Personal Blood Bank) Runners collect their own blood through regular donation. This blood is mixed with a nutrient solution, concentrated, and stored at minus 42 degrees. In an emergency, the blood is flash-thawed and returned to its "owner." JUNKER'S RUSH A type of chewing gum supplied to Junkers with adrenaline crystals incorporated into the gum base. It was first used during World War III in emergency situations to temporarily boost reflexes, accuracy, and strength. Extended use creates extreme depression and fatigue. Its effects are similar to the burst of superhuman power occasionally observed in persons caught in extreme circumstances, such as fire or other accidents. ARTIFICIAL SKIN SPRAY Developed with protein-engineering biochemical technoligies, this spray, when applied to exposed skin, provides high levels of protection, including resistance to heat and physical blows. While oxygen transfers can take place, sweat and other waste matter cannot be expelled, limiting continuing usage of the spray to 24 hours. JUNKER'S BELT Constructed with shape-retaining polymers, ceramics and flexible plastics. The buckle contains a high-voltage shock generator to stun adversaries in emergency situations. JUNKER TRENCH COAT A heavy-duty trench coat designed for runners, constructed with alamid fiber fabrics and flexion armor components. The use of two forms of alamid fibers--heat-resisting forms capable of withstanding 800*C, and penetration resistant forms, capable of supporting 50 kg over a 0.1mm area--make the coat's extreme durability possible. Flexion armor installed around vital organ areas helps protect the wearer against physical blows or external pressure. JUNKER CARD An identification card which employs laser disc technology. It contains an IC chip, upon which personal data is stored. It is used for Jordan's ID check, as well as to show proof of being a Junker. It is impossible to duplicate.
