Guys I REALLY do not recommend going for that Rover just because Neil wants to do it, we're spreading our resources extremely thin here for the infiltration missions so if you go for that rover upgrade you're putting at least one of our infiltration teams in with NO specialization and with just two people -- we have more guys on the Red Cross mission, and backup in Goodhaven, so we can get by there, but these infiltration missions are risky and we need an edge up.

We should try to get something along the lines of:
Disguised Camera Set
These spy cameras are flat disks around large-watch-face-sized, but quite thin -- what they lack in pure incredible tininess they make up for in being able to slip easily into pockets and small flat spaces, being easy to palm, and coming in a series of different colors that can be taken depending on the expected mission terrain -- greys and whites and blacks for Flossmore, for example. They CAN transmit wirelessly, but will not do so unless directly activated to be able to receive the radio signal to do so manually. They are constructed of non-metallic components to the highest degree possible, with the hope that the electronics in the cameras will be small enough to evade metal detection.

I'm not sure we'd be able to get that past security if we're going the visitor route. I've visited a couple of prisons, and everyone gets a pat down with their hands to the wall as standard procedure. We might be able to stick it to the front of our visitor badges if they're the kind that are worn around the prison, but I wouldn't want to risk it being felt in the pocket or found in the palm.

I also 100% agree with him in needing some spy stuff. The machine gun *and* truck upgrades are really tempting, but we really need to help out these undermanned missions right now. Our escort strategy will likely rely on avoidance rather than confrontation, we'll likely be sending a scout ahead with the fancy binoculars to make sure the enemy isn't there rather than try to break through ambushes and blockades.

frankly i just dont know that well get away with a totally empty description

However, perhaps you can use mine as a base and edit the type of camera you would like.

Tiny Spy Camera Set
A set of small cameras the size of tooth fillings that can be placed on/in the tooth. The camera can record video.
(People are encouraged to add to this, I don’t think this is enough description. I will add more description in the morning.)

I am not sure how a tooth camera is supposed to work, it seems like it would be awkward to use and not something that you could use subtly. also, I doubt that tooth cameras are very common so there is a good chance that we would end this phase without acquiring any new hardware.

good lord the cameras
Button Camera
These spy cameras are adhesive disks around dollar-coin-sized, and which come in a series of different colors that can be taken depending on clothing worn during the mission. As they're very small, they can be attached to clothing inconspicuously, but they do have very limited wireless capability and it's suggested that they not be left somewhere unless the operator is confident that they can be retrieved later in order to be read.

I have a few questions, mainly I think the AMR mission will most likely be the most difficult so maybe we should sent three men (Mr. Blonde because he’s injured and won’t be as effective on a combat) compared to the military escort because the problem is that even with visitor credentials we need more information for concrete case their abusive with their prisoners then just setting up cameras inside the visitation room. We’d need visual recordings of the prisoner cells, whatever their courtyard is, etc and you can’t get access to those with just being a visitor as I believe. With the amount of security cameras and the physical strength and armed nature of guards, it would make things like sneaking and getting access to camera footage that much more harder.

Ah yes the last the question is why are we intentionally hurting the battery, well it’s actual the wireless capability. I guess that doesn’t matter on how long our phones can track the button cameras, the main question in lifetime, they’d probably need to be useful for at least an entire cycle of day to be useful and to get some concrete proof.
