The introductory video had a pleasant looking person in an Eskimo Joe's T-shirt explaining what was aboard the rocket. "We are loading these items in order to equip your tug as a proper police vehicle. There are three laser systems. All mount on the outside. One is a designator. It will show you where the other two are pointed. Another is both a range finder and a sound monitoring system. Point it at the right place and you should be able to hear pretty much any sounds. We want to know what is being said inside their ship. The third is a power laser. It has the capacity to pierce any non-shiny part of the ship with a hole that is approximately one half centimeter. You need to be within two hundred yards. Pointed and moved, it can pretty much carve up an entire colony.

"Here is the internal equipment. It just plugs into your ATM local area network on board. The lasers have their own power packs. The designator will last years, the eaves-dropper will last about two months in continuous operation, and the power laser will work for about thirty minutes of continuous operation.

"This is the space suit to go outside. Also, outside, you need to mount this assembly. It is a small robot with a gas injector. Basically you can maneuver the robot over to their vehicle, stick a needle into their ship, and inject a gas. The gas is non-lethal but, if the people are basically asleep, they stay asleep. The gas cannot be detected. No matter what, the people should get very tired. If you use this you have to replace the air modules. These are the standard air re-breathers. Scooter, these attach in the usual way.
