Supplies

There are many supplies which Agents going into a badfic may find useful.

Note that, with only a few exceptions (mostly Sufficiently Advanced Technology), it is highly preferable that any supplies taken into a continuum should be available in that continuum. (Sorry, no flamethrowers in Middle-earth... usually.)

General Supplies

 * A sturdy backpack
 * Bleeprin or its derivatives, to handle the inevitable trauma
 * Food and water
 * Rope, zip ties, or tranquilizer darts/hypospray/etc. to restrain struggling Sues or Insane partners.

Technology
Useful Technology

A great many useful devices can help an Agent on their mission. The most common include:


 * A CAD
 * A Remote Activator
 * A D.O.R.K.S., if the Agent deems it necessary to change disguises without returning to their Response Center
 * A Crash dummy, if going into a first- or second-person fic
 * A neuralyzer and a good pair of sunglasses

Weapons

 * Various shiny, pointy objects

Exorcisms
Agents who expect to have to exorcise an Author-wraith should bring their Exorcism Kit. It includes the three traditional components of "candle, book, and bell." Agents who forget their Exorcism kits have been known to improvise.


 * The Book is most important. It consists of the appropriate piece of canon that is being violated by the Author-Wraith. It need not be printed; it can be something like a DVD or a stereo playing an appropriate song.
 * The Bell is any object that makes a loud noise. It can be a literal bell, a foghorn, a trumpet, or even the Agent's voice.
 * The Candle creates light. It can be a literal candle, a flashlight, a lighter, or some other light source. It is an optional component of the ritual but is thought to make it more effective.
