Date: Sun, 5 May 1996 23:19:40 +0200
I just checked the legality codes in Shadowtech and found a code "5P-F"
(Remington 750). The categories description and tables (ST, p. 103 - 104,
107-108) do not list a category "P". Can anyone explain this to me?
Is the P just a letter used as marker (as the often seen Page x? :-)

It means that a permoit is obtainable.

While we're taling about shadowtech, Isn't doom a cell? If so, it would kill
itself before it could be even MADE!

No. Doom is an antibody. That is, an enzyme specifically created to attack a
certain thing. (Usually certain protiens on viruses, but in this case the
proteins on muscle tissue....).

No it's an anitbody. If antibodies could attack themselves we would never
have lived to an age past infancy. An antibody is "programmed" to attack
something specific, not everything in general. We have antibodies for every
disease that has ever attacked us. (at least for a while) They only attack
the disease they were created to attack.

Having truckloads of alpha-particles going through it wouldn't kiil it? I was
actually referring to the radioactive chunk of matter stuck to it.

Not neccisarily. When working with radiation, most everything is based
upon probability. You could run naked through a waste facility and be
uneffected, but the chances aren't really high. Some of the Doom cells
would be killed, but enough would survive that it would get in your body
and frag with you till you die. It would be about as bad as inhaling
Uranium dust, probably the most assured way of killing some one with out
getting your hands very messy. The alpha particles will destroy large
amounts of internal tissue, in nature this dosn't happen very often
because any thin substance(like the dead layer of skin surrounding yor
body) will stop the alpha particles, but once it gets inside and keeps
decaying, kiss you butt goodbye.

It does explain it... 'P' means it is possible to get a permit for this
item, but that unlicensed possession of such an item is a category 'F'
offence, in this case, with a TN of 5 to bust you.
