About this model
A grey-blue metal utility cabinet with warning stickers on the side, standing on the pavement. It is the sort that houses electrical or phone equipment. It is about 1.5 ft wide and deep and 3.5 ft tall. Warning stickers on the side tell players there is electrical equipment inside. Its doors are locked with a simple key.
Place it on street corners, in car parks and beside buildings. It gives a crouching character cover. It is a target for hackers and saboteurs who want to cut the power or the phones.
Ideas for the table
- Opening the box cuts the phone lines to the building.
- A lookout leans on the box and pretends to make a call.
- Someone has fitted a listening device inside the cabinet.
