Disarming things that go boom! Tools of the Demolitionist Trade

It’s just me and my skeinsuit, thought Raye Veektum as he approached the unexploded bomb that had been planted by a sathar agent.A few dozen meters away, Veektum’s companions were busy evacuating the crowded monorail station. Not having any dedicated tools of his own, he had borrowed the techkit that belonged to Jill Lucky, one of his companions. Jill's closest brush with danger thus far was hot wiring the ground car that they used to get here.Sweat began dripping from his brow as he contemplated his chances of success. Oh why didn’t I splurge on that Demolitions-CAS when I had the chance? Veektum wondered before he began. If I fail to disarm the bomb, will the skeinsuit be enough to protect me?After several moments of examining the detonator, Veektum began working on it when suddenly a flash of light blinded him as a wave of heat enveloped his body…Technicians can purchase techkits. Characters with the robotics skill can buy a robocomkit. Medics get medkits, while an environmentalist can pick up an envirokit to assist them with their tasks. But, except for the Demolition-CAS (Computer Analysis Scanner) that was introducedin Zebulon’s Guide, the demolition specialist has very little specialized equipment presented in the Star Frontiers game to enhance their skills.In actuality, the Core Four races would have developed a variety of equipment to defuse and dispose explosives. Some of this gear includes blast suits, which are designed to protect demolition experts when they are defusing unexploded bombs. Various other tools are available. Then there are Explosion Containment Vessels (ECVs) that can be used to transport munitions or store suspicious objects.
