>>>>>[ Right then Hoovercraft is what we need :) Let's look in the
cupboard
under the stairs.... Aha Mark II Century class Hoover ! Super suction, bag-
full light, autopilot so it can hoover your living room for you.

Now then, now then, let's look at it's assault capability.

One long nozzel - Use in reverse can fire ping pong balls at the enemy at speeds
of about 30 mph.

Large silly face drawn on the front - Designed to stun the enemy by making
them laugh.

Defensive capabilities - Heavy robust plastic armour, designed to resist the
most destructive of small humanoids.

Set of wheels and anti-bump feature so that it can avoid incoming objects.

Garish orange colour - No one would want to steal this !

Available for service ? - Yes
Mission ? - To clean up big time in Berlin.
Potential hazzards ? - Getting fathers to lift their feet while the hoover
patrols beneath them.
Time to reach launch site ? - Can catch a suborbital and be there in a few
hours, less time if a HALO drop is used. Can use the spare bag as a chute.
Alternatively customer can visit local mall and purchase the Mark II Century
class Hoover for themselves. Available from any electrical store.
