Description: This clicker goes behind your ear to connect to your temple. You will be able to change into any outfit (pre-existing) that you want. You must picture this outfit with your mind in a clear enough manner for the Shifter to process, and thereby shift your current outfit into the one you imagine.

$Title[Portable Oxygen]
Description: This gadget allows you to breathe in any place that lacks oxygen, including underwater, smoke-heavy areas, and high altitudes. Simply put the mask over your nose and mouth and it will mold to be a perfect, invisible fit. No one (including yourself) will notice that you are even wearing one - other than the fact that you can function perfectly normally in oxygen delepeted areas. The oxygen will stop flowing as soon as you remove the mask. When there is only 30 minutes worth of oxygen left, the mask will start to develop a dark shade. The mask will become completely black when there is no oxygen left in it. One time use only. Discard after zero battery.
Warning: do not forget to remove the mask when you are done with it or else you will waste your oxyen and run out.

You pull the chip out, put it to your eye for the chip to scan your irises, and put the chip back in the pelican when it glows warm- indicator of a new owner. A small part of the pelidrone snaps off but you just toss it into your pocket since it wasn't a necessary component of the drone anyways.

You pick up the light machine in your hands and raise it to your face.

$computerStyle[Look at me.]
The pelidrone suddenly opens its eyes and you jump from shock.
In your head, you suddenly see split vision: half is of the pelidrone as you look at it; and the other half is of you, as the drone watches you.

You leave the cave and decide to look for food. You find some berries and eat them, trying to think about the answer to the riddle.
So deep in thought, you don't notice a scissorsnake dangly from the tree branch near you until you feel a sting in the back of your neck.
$computerStyle[Ouch!] You touch the bite, see the scissorsnake, and wince in pain.
$computerStyle[Fatal careless mistakes...]

$computerStyle[Pelidrones are made of ebersteel, which I could use for wings for myself if I rewired it. But the person controling it will not be happy with me. If this is a friend and telling the truth about going elsewhere to find the golden sphere, then I shouldn't capture the pelidrone. But what if this is an enemy - if that's the case, then I mgiht as well capture this pelidrone and use it as my own wings.]
You purposely look away from the pelidrone so it won't gather anymore information from the database access through your eyes but keep an eye on it from your peripheral vision.

Soon, you see a small island in the distance and when you get close enough to it, you use the pocket knife to cut the rope lose from the sheeber.
$computerStyle[Thank you for unintentially helping me] You say to it as it swims away.

You walk towards the pelidrone when you notice a second pelidron sitting next to it.
The second pelidrone scans his eyes.
$drone[I SEE YOU HAVE FOUND A WAY TO THIS ISLAND. YOU STOLE ONE OF MY PELIDRONES BUT I SEE YOU HAVE ESCAPED A GROUP OF SHEEBERS. I WILL ANSWER ONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS.]
$computerStyle[Am I close to the golden sphere?]
$drone[LOOK BEHIND YOU.]
Confused, you turn around. The golden sphere floats in the air where the water licks at the sand on the shore.
$drone[YOU WILL WIN THE SPHERE IF YOU CORRECTLY ANSWER THIS RIDDLE.]
You walk over to the sphere but you cannot reach it. It is inches above your head. You jump but sitll cannot touch the sphere.
$computerStyle[What is the riddle?]
$drone[WHAT IS AS LIGHT AS A FEATHER, BUT EVEN THE WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN COULD NOT HOLD IT FOR [[MORE THAN A MINUTE]]?]
