If you are looking to be non-threatening, multi-fuel may still be a better choice from a blending in point of view. Team pulls up to a local, dressed in civilian clothes and inquires about the possibility of trading for fuel. Offering some of the contents of the trade pack or medical treatment in exchange...If you don't want to use multi-fuel, then electric, with two or more of the vehicles fitted with a fusion generator for recharging?
Hmmmm, a team that has been pried out of their resistweave, denied thier errr big turret, and forced to interact with the locals in a give-and-take.....I can think of at least three people who will be at a complete loss!!!  |
Yup.. exactly my point. The multi-fuel vehicle would be perfect for first contact/advanced recon type teams proposed by Kato. they'd allow for minimal high impact and avoid suspicion in the original timeframe of the project.
I was thinking of Hybrid type vehicles with a multi-fuel as it's primary (or at least appear as it's primary) form of energy production.
the low-impact teams would have people wearing the less imposing uniforms (ie the work khakis, either a button-up shirt or polo shirt), giving them an official look while not being overly intimidating. Of course they'd have resistweave ponchos/jackets to put on if they needed them, along with the possibility of 'bulletproof' underwear.
