Multitool

Multitools are a electronic device using electromagnetic resonance detection and frequency modulation to dynamically alter the flow of current through a circuit.

Their function as disposable multi-hacking devices, makes them likely technological successors of the Automatic Unlocking Device.

The multitool was created for bypassing basic security tech, like keypads or security cameras, and with the nanite version in 2072, it can also unlock the locks. A multitool's resources are finite, and when a tool is depleted it becomes useless. It's ineffective on complex systems, like bots or security computers.

Multitool


A standard multitool with a telecommand design. It use electromagnetic resonance detection and produces frequency modulation directly. Very common in 2052, it will be replaced by the nanite multitool in 2072.

Nanite multitool


An all-purpose multitool, with a design similar to the Lockpick. It was created between 2052 and 2072 and uses nanotechnology for electromagnetic resonance detection, creating frequency modulation, and ultimately to bypass high-end nanolocks, the previous function of the lockpick.
