Tamagotchi Tummy
Mr. Tummy has a Tamagotchi in her Tummy!
Mametchi gives a short vibration of confirmation from inside the Tummy. Mr. Tummy Yowls in surprise --
A miniature Mametchi clambers over and into the holster, quickly finding his way to the trigger. He grasps it with two round hands, and pulls --
15 feet away, the Officer's service weapon goes off, angled unfortunately into his thigh by the body of the man he's holding down.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Man-Machine Interface
Nothing happens. And suddenly, as you slowly look at the screen, the electronic equivalent of heiroglyphics unscrawls itself.
Kyle presses a finger into the back of his neck - you hear a sharp crack. He stares at the locked doors. The keypad flashes green for a brief moment. After a long and drawn-out silence, the door unlocks, and swings wide open - allowing entry.
What the fuck?
Kyle is not fully human. He doesn't quite know it yet, but a part of his brain's been replaced with cybernetics and electronics. Using an antennae located in his head, he is able to subconsciously operate these bio-technical electronics responsible for interfacing with computer systems.
Hates cops, hates the system, smokes pot - he's a real cyberpunk now, ain't he?

Sly Fox
Jump over that lazy dog.
btacdbra holds out a hand to the device, in a sort of clawed position. The outline of a red anthropomorphic fox form briefly flickers over btacdbra's own. In a screen flash of solid red, the device then opens up to a special red-text terminal, now hacked.
