NRC Comms Earpiece
"A wireless comms headset used in an NRC air traffic control facility at the Abu Simbel airport. The design is a fairly standard piece of equipment issued to CDP command and control forces globally, and a cleat step up from equipment that the NRC had access to before aligning themselves with the CDP. Apart from some additional hardware used to provide end-to-end broadcast encryption, there's little to distinguish the military version of the headset from equipment designed for the civilian marketplace."

Dud RPG
"This High Explosive round was found in the grounds of Abu Simbel airport in Ethiopia. It's a common ordinance of the type found in the hands of CDP-aligned forces around the world, such as the NRC. Scorch marks on the side suggest a malfunction in the electronic starter system. Burns around the aero-cover on the warhead indicate that the companion, smaller decoy projectiles designed to confuse trophy systems and other active defense systems did fire correctly. It's surprising to find one in this condition - modern, mass produced munitions like this are known for their near 100% reliability rates."

"My scans show that that thing is still live. You're not going to keep it near your bunk, are you? Yes. Of course you are."

Egyptian Army Cap
"This is a battered and worn Egyptian Army cap that once belonged to Lt. Zeyad Khalil, who you met while mounting the mission to rescue Minister Said from the hands of the NRC at Abu Simbel airport in Ethiopia. Its style is a little archaic to your eyes; it looks to be about 20 years out of date. Its threadbare condition suggests that it may well be a hand-me-down previously owned by numerous Egyptian soldiers. With their resources strained by climate change-driven overpopulation, and their ongoing war with the CDP-allied NRC over Nile water rights, the Egyptian army has understandably not made it a priority to update their uniforms, and has channeled the aid received from the Winslow Accord into supplies, weapons, and ammunition."
