Prisoner Diving Gear
The "Prisoner Diving Gear" (PDG for short), is a modified standard-issue diving backpack outfitted with a remotely detonated modified shotgun shell that works underwater being pointed directly at the users neck. In 1962, during the excavation and construction of the Hadal Blacksite, a major problem were the convicts being used for labor trying to leave the Let-Vand zone. The problem wasn't so much that they tried to leave, as when they tried to swim up and out of the zone, they'd get crushed by the sudden pressure change. The problem came from having to constantly get new convicts, as majority would try to swim away. The RDG was designed as a deterrent. If a convict tried to swim away, stationed guards or HQ could flip a switch and the shotgun would go off, killing them instantly. After this little modification, escape attempts dropped by 98%.
Over the years, the PDG design has improved drastically. Before, they were just built to work in the Let-Vand Zone, but now they're actually designed withstanding 8008 meter depths. Previously, after detonation, the corpse would sink to the bottom of the trenches too quickly for the gear to be recovered. Now, in the event that the shotgun is detonated, the backpack will automatically disconnect from the corpse of the user and float to the surface. where it can be picked up by patrol boats and be reused. They can also be detached remotely from the users back, leaving the former user to drown. It saves a shotgun shell, but it’s not advised as it's considerably more inhumane.
Higher personnel recommends trigger-holders operate on a “2-Strike" system, issuing a warning on the 1st strike, and executing the wearer upon the 2nd. Exceptions are made if the severity of the offense justifies an execution upon the first offense. The suit may also be detonated in the case that the Prisoner in question fails to maintain communications with the operator, or that it's within your best interest to execute the unruly convict as an example to other users.
Below are the listed quotas that permit use of the RDG:
- Prisoner tries to leave the Let-Vand zone.
- Prisoner attempts to escape the Blacksite.
- Prisoner disobeys direct orders from any personnel.
- Prisoner enters restricted area without permission.
- Prisoner picks up any weaponry without permission.
- Prisoner tries to attack personnel.
- Prisoner tries to tamper with PDG device.
- Prisoner tries to take off the PDG device.
- Prisoner tries to scramble the connection.
