DESCRIPTION
'Killer Heels' are the short name for a custom variety of footwear developed for ISB agents. Originally requested from the ISB's stealth technicians, they serve as limited-use concealed weaponry for operatives in cover, particularly ciphers. Although the outward appearance and materials vary somewhat, the function does not. Concealed in the toes are a pair of quietly launched, armor-penetrating toxic darts. The stiletto heel conceals a plasteel spike that delivers venom to the target.By default, the venom delivered is a fast-acting stun neurotoxin; delivery causes paralysis to limbs, or unconsciousness if striking the torso or head. The reservoirs can exchange this for other available venoms as needed. The heel can deliver three doses before needing a refill. In order to reload the heels with darts or toxin, the footwear must be taken off and the false bottom removed to access the mechanisms.
They're an uncommon sight and few know of such tools or how to spot them as every model is custom-tailored for the agent it's meant for. They also come in the form of boots, flats, or sneakers for those who don't wear heels or for missions where they'd be out of place.
LEGALITY
As concealed weaponry, Killer Heels require a special permit within the Empire. Generally illegal elsewhere.INTENT
To give ISB operatives some sneaky footwear.
