VERY SMALL 13-ITEM INVENTORIES

It's not easy being a 2 kilogram uplifted pouched rat. These are some inventories and also a gear list.  And remember: you just have no effective defense against rats with antimateriel gyrojets. They can go anywhere and kill with impunity.  Really, if they lived past 25, uplifted rats would outcompete hominids in a technological society.  

Rat Uplift: By Swampgirl (Sigmacastell)

INVENTORIES:

The Teamster:

You do honest work (mostly).

1. Koenig KSD-32 portable computer (backpack sized for you) with solid state memory cartridges and a series of adapters strung on your belt like a cowboy's lasso; this is an expensive machine but you have to bring it with you in very small spaces (even a microtape is too big). The keyboard was handmade. 
2.  Assistive speaker -- you can yell about as loudly as a person with this (or play some great pranks on bigger coworkers)
3. High visibility vest; hi-viz yellow.  It's important not to be mistaken for a regular rat.
4. Extremely concentrated bear spray; you made the aerosol dispenser yourself.  The local stray cats leave you alone now.   
5. Combination wire stripper and cutter
6. Very Small union membership card (Telecoms and Electrical Workers Local 0454)
7. Human-sized boarding pass for an in-system flight to a nearby asteroid mine; rolled up into a scroll and carried sticking out of your backpack.
8. Backpack-mounted soldering iron and several sticks of solder.
9. Very Small pencil (a mechanical pencil lead coated in plastic) and a notebook; rat-sized pens are very very expensive and not at all practical.
10. Patch: "Fat Ludovico's Countercultural Pizza"
11. Keys to a spaceport storage unit (the rules say you can't live in a locker but you pay the manager 50cr in rent per month to ignore the rules)
12. Moisturizer for hands and feet.
13. Sunflower seeds (in the pocket of a web vest).

The Explorer:

You go places others don't dare and return with wealth and knowledge beyond anybody's wildest dreams.  

1. Rat-sized pressure suit; costs almost as much as human-sized ones because of the delicate thermal pipework and masterful assembly required to make something so complicated so small.  
2. Contact lenses; you don't have eyesight like an ape's.  These help a little and also automatically dim in bright light.
3. Plastic dental floss dispenser (100m value pak); you've looked everywhere for good rope but sometimes it's hard to beat the local convenience store.  Dental floss can support 10-15kg and comes in a convenient, tangle-free dispenser small enough to carry at your hip or in a backpack.
4. Mini protein bar (PB&J); not actually a very efficient way to carry calories (only one day worth of food) but good food is the key to good morale.
5. Packet of roast cashews (extremely expensive for a spacer but you don't need much).  
6. Two mysterious black marbles from the Deep (Gradient Descent p. 62).
7. Handmade LED flashlight connected to a watch battery.
8. Patch: "Science?" (white rat in a maze).
9. Utility knife/prybar combination -- it's not much but it's better than not having a lever at all.
10. Miniature digital camera and compact memory card (incredibly expensive).
11. Black credit card (stored in backpack)
12. Several single-use fast-acting tranquilizer mini-syringes. 
13. A crop-sprayer drone converted for use as a rat-sized passenger aircraft.  Not cheap but you aren't hard-up for cash.   

The Mercenary:

You've made a good career of sneaking into places and killing people for your corporate employer. 

1. .50 caliber gyrojet launcher and four reloads carried on your back; kills just as effectively as a smart rifle (and is also guided); high performance propellant for a short acceleration distance. 
2. Replacement tooth wetware; your natural teeth were already harder than iron but that's not always enough; a Horizon implant seeds them with titanium nanostructures.  You need to gnaw very hard objects or file your teeth to keep them at a sensible length.
3. Binary nerve agent in sealed applicator. 
4. Patch: Midsummer Night's Dream Free Port Flag
5. Specially formulated ration pellets and titanium supplements
6. Collapsible drag device -- you can safely fall about 50 feet without it and from any height with it.
7. Miniaturized code-money wallet loaded with 100kcr in scrip.
8. Very Small flask of whisky.
9. Matchbook (nightclub branding on the cover)
10. Night vision goggles (cost a fortune at this size) 
11. Fullerene cable; used as rope or as a particularly cruel trap.
12. Lockpick set and box of ultra lightweight screwdriver heads
13. Hotel key (human-sized room with a king bed, 24-hour room service).
