Cassette - Short

Ten seconds of tape and five tapes per craft: room for one line and cheap enough to waste. Made for a raid taunt, too short for anything that needs explaining.

Overview

In-game description
A tape that you can record audio on to using a Cassette Recorder. Stores up to 10s of audio.

One sentence fits, and that is the whole idea. A single craft of metal fragments gives you five of these, so nobody minds burning a few on jokes.

Raids are where they shine. Before the first charge goes on a wall, record something rude on the cassette recorder and play it outside their base. Or play it from a portable boom box under the window they are holding. Five tapes, five lines: one for the first wall, one for the door, one for the moment their TC becomes yours.

A greeting or a shop pitch rarely fits, though. Those belong on the medium cassette.

Tip

A recycler hands back only a few frags per tape. Record over a line you are tired of instead of scrapping the cassette.
