<div class="peril-panel-title">The Astonishing Arsenal of Peril!</div>

From the workshops and hangars of [[Peril:Peril Peak|Peril Peak]] come the most advanced vehicles, computers and crime-fighting gadgets that Mastermind can build with available parts.

Every item has been rigorously tested during at least one genuine emergency.

</div>

The '''Peril Plane''' is the Patrol’s principal airborne vehicle. It carries the entire team, an impressive quantity of emergency equipment and exactly as much fuel as the story requires.

The Peril Plane fits inside its hangar—barely. It leaks freely and flies sometimes. A handwritten sign beside it assures pilots that the nose “closes barely.”

</div>

The '''Peril Sub''' is the Patrol’s pink, duck-shaped vehicle for underwater operations. Its distinctive appearance allows it to approach waterfowl without attracting suspicion.

The Sub’s hangar is flooded, slippery and quacktastic. Most of the water comes from the bathroom directly above it.

</div>

[[Peril:Patrol#Tokyo Joe|Tokyo Joe]] is a very small man who operates a hulking robot from a television screen in its control dome. Whether the machine is a vehicle, a costume, a teammate or all three depends upon which insurance form is being completed.

The robot is immensely powerful, heavily armored and equipped with dozens of colorful buttons. Tokyo Joe knows what several of them do.

Repairs are performed in Tokyo Joe’s robot garage, amid spare parts, oil leaks and questionable wiring.

</div>

[[Peril:Patrol#Mister Chips|Mister Chips]] is a walking, talking personal computer with arms, legs and an expressive television screen. Mastermind lists him under “team equipment”; Mister Chips lists Mastermind under “known system errors.”

Mister Chips can communicate with Peril Peak’s enormous computer installation, perform complicated calculations and recognize an impending catastrophe several seconds before everyone else.

</div>

== Mastermind’s Inventions ==

<div class="peril-columns">

<div class="peril-panel">
<div class="peril-panel-title">Crime-Fighting Gadgets</div>

[[Peril:Patrol#Mastermind|Mastermind]] can invent whatever astonishing device the Patrol requires. His machines are generally equipped with blinking lights, rotary dials, unnecessary antennae and at least one control whose purpose he cannot remember.

Operating instructions are rarely written down because Mastermind considers them obvious.

</div>

<div class="peril-panel">
<div class="peril-panel-title">The Giant Lever</div>

Mastermind’s laboratory contains an enormous lever marked '''DO NOT PULL.'''

The lever is connected to something important.

<div class="peril-panel">
<div class="peril-panel-title">The Patrol Field Kit</div>

The standard Patrol field kit contains communicators, flashlights, rope, an incorrect map and one mysterious gadget Mastermind forgot to label.

The batteries are stored in another field kit.

</div>

<div class="peril-panel">
<div class="peril-panel-title">Important Maps</div>

Peril Peak’s command center maintains an extensive collection of important maps. These include , the surrounding countryside and several places that apparently do not exist.

None of the maps shows the quickest route out of Peril Peak.

== Peril Peak Systems ==

<div class="peril-columns">

<div class="peril-panel">
<div class="peril-panel-title">The Perilputer</div>

Mister Chips’s computer room contains an enormous electronic computer he calls the Perilputer, occupying most of an entire floor. It uses magnetic tape, flashing lights and enough electricity to dim  whenever someone asks it a difficult question.

Mister Chips has been issued a tiny desk.

</div>

<div class="peril-panel">
<div class="peril-panel-title">The Peril Reactor</div>

Peril Peak is powered by an advanced reactor, several exercise bicycles and a network of extension cords.

During periods of high demand, everyone pedals.

</div>

</div>

== Official Operating Procedure ==

<div class="peril-panel">
<div class="peril-panel-title">Before Activating Any Peril Patrol Equipment</div>
