The Shock band was the brainchild of a bored Novacorp worker who had bought himself a slap-on bracelet from an ice cream vendor which had a bit of advertising on it.
He put it up on his desk, and pressed his finger down in the middle it, and it snapped shut into a cylinder. He unfolded it, then pressed his finger on the far left side. As expected, it snapped shut. He then began jotting down a few rough notes and ideas. Eventually, he ended up with these little monsters on his drawing board:
Visual Description: A 25 centimetre long, 4 cm wide and 0.3 thick piece of plastic with fabric on one side. If pressed down in a particular area, it contorts itself into a tight cylinder 7 centimetres in diameter. The plastic and fabric comes in a variety of colours. Method of attack: As the Shockband is pressed into a cylinder, it releases a shock of 9 volts, 0.1 amps. This reportedly feels like putting a battery on your tongue for a moment. How to Recharge: There are a few ways to recharge this Shockband.
Warning Label: “Do not use if you are experiencing heart problems or Pregnant. Keep out of reach of 3 year olds. It is also inadvisable to apply directly to the forehead.”
Visual Description: A 25 centimetre long, 4 cm wide and 0.3 thick piece of plastic with fabric on one side. If pressed down in a particular area, it contorts itself into a tight cylinder 7 centimetres in diameter. The plastic comes in a Navy Blue and the fabric is usually black. Method of attack: As the Shockband is pressed into a cylinder, it releases a shock of 10,000 volts, 2 amps. This reportedly feels like “wiring a car battery to your nuts and flooring the gas pedal.” How to Recharge: Get a “Shockband Charge Plate” and place it fabric side down for a few minutes. It cannot regain its charge naturally, and it is inadvisable to use the friction method. Notes:** These are usually stored in a Plastic or Non-conductive metal box in groups of 60. Warning Label: “DANGER - Extremely High Voltage. Keep out of reach of children and untrained personnel.”
