Ferengi Chimical-Print Identifying Lock

[Marius Tr'Lorin 0]

Name: Chimical-Print Identifying Lock (Also known as a "Chem-Print Lock")

 

Physical Description: Although these locks can vary in size, they are generally the size of a standard humanoid thumbtip, and disk-shaped. Black in color, they glow green when unlocked, red if unset, and orange if an unrecognized person attempts to open it.

 

Technological Description: The Chem-Print Lock uses over 90 different identifiers to recognize the person attempting to unlock it. Among these identifiers are physical thumbprints, DNA, blood type, and chemical structure. In addition, to prevent the usage of unwilling or deceased persons to gain entry, the lock also checks temperature level, hormone levels, and nerve signals.

 

Historical Background: Only developed in the last 20 years, the Ferengi developed this lock as a means to prevent pirates from stealing their cargo. The Ferengi keep the exact specifications and design of this lock a close secret, and as such, very few of them exist outside of Ferengi ships and equipment.

 

 

(Note: As I invented this item in my log without explaining it very clearly, I provided this profile for anyone who cares to know the finer details. :o )
