Research and Development is one of the largest sections of the base. Whereas the Department of Intelligence has the highest number of people, they don't require the same amount of space for testing weaponry, laboratories, and other experiments and inventions that otherwise would be impossible to carry out in close quarters. Each area of the Research and Development facility is connected by underground subway pods. These are 1-2 man pods that slide through tunnels until they reach a programmed destination. They travel quickly, making short work of the long distances required to reach one end of the complex to the other. The main meeting and planning building is in the southeast of the department. It houses the computers that hold all the Merc League's technology information, and also serves as the centralized computer system for the entire Mercenary League. It is only accessible through biometrics for the other crew members, or through Gear's cyberpathic interface. There are two laboratory buildings where the building and planning of weapons takes place. In the center of the complex is a testing area, shielded by force field technology to make it sound and ordinance proof.

The following is a list of devices either already created, or currently under development by the Research and Development sector of the Mercenary League. Any and all of these (unless otherwise indicated) can be used in Mercenary League-based RP by any member who chooses to do so. As the R&D roleplays continue in the RP Haven and Beyon Tournament, this list will grow.
Developed Tech
Steel-plated trees: These trees, composed entirely of reinforced steel, are capable of withstanding over two tons of pressure, both in weight and collision. The trees are solid steel, not hollow, and provide an aesthetically pleasing roadblock that can be moved by remote control or cyberpathic interface. They can also be used on obstacle courses and gardens of people who don't have any kind of green thumb. Inventor: No one wants to take credit for this one. Anti-matter storage system: This device is designed to increase the storage capacity of any container by using antimatter to transport the excess elsewhere, but to be contained enough to be released when necessary, for example, in the instance of special payload bombs, or utility pockets. Inventor: Gear-Richie
Developing Tech
* Econo-fuel This fuel is designed to burn for long periods of time, causing it to last long, while using less polluting substances so exhaust won't cause environmental damage. The chemicals used to create the fuel are more inexpensive than petroleum, so the fuel will be easily accessed with minor cost. The fuel is currently under development due to inability to start operation. Inventor: Thamior_Nailo * Lightning Fist A powerful projectile weapon, the Lightning Fist is capable of firing bolts of electricity powerful enough to rip through many strong materials. The weapon is flexible to the owner's body, and it has an extremely long range. The weapon is undergoing final testing and minor modifications prior to approval by the Research and Development OIC. Inventor: Chronos Maker * Volt Tank A highly-advanced armored combat vehicle, the Volt Tank runs on electricity...literally. The conductive properties of the tank's composition allow electrical charges to flow throughout the body without damage to the occupants, minimizing the need for traditional fuel. The lightning based weapons are run by a low-key artificial intelligence program that frees the driver to navigate while the tank runs the weapon systems by itself. This project is still in the planning/material gathering stage. Inventors: Thamior_Nailo (Tank Design), Chronos Maker (Weapon Systems) * Surveillance Robot Not dissimilar to Gear's backpack, though more specialized, the Surveillance Robot is designed for remote-control function, with a transmitting recorder/camera and a small energy weapon designed to aid in its escape if caught in the act of espionage. The project is still in the blueprint stages. Inventor: Miss Zastrow

it was late night, the testers and inventors had all went home to their, well, homes, and others to their sleeping compounds. winter snuck in, coming through an air vent, he took a peek around, to see if anyone was working late, then he dropped in, landing lightly on all fours.
He crawled slowly to the cabinet, and opened it, he put aside a plunger to reveal a small, silver orb, he pulled it out, along with some blueprints tucked inside a paper towel roll. he took them to a nearby table and switched on a small lamp, he layed out the blueprints, on it was a complicated drawing of a large ball, a corner dissected out of it to show what looked like a spool of thread. he compared the two, then went to a drawer and pulled out a test dummy.
he set it out in front of the table a good ten meters away. he aimed what was presumably the front of the orb in its direction, he pressed the top and a small string shot forward, it stuck to the dummies steel chest, not even making a dent. as if unsatisfied, he through the orb at it, but instead of hitting it, like it should of done, it swirved to the side, winding itself around it.
it went round and around, wrapping the dummy with the seemingly weak thread, it's defense system immediately woke, and went into attack mode, but as hard as it tried, the more he struggled, the tighter it got. the ball finally stopped at it's feet. then flew back to his hand, or rather, his glove.
he stared for a second, then jumped in the air with glee
•••
Item Name: Spidorb
Item Description: a small two piece weapon, the orb, made of a silver-steel mix, holds inside it, a small rope woven mechanically by small steel-spiders, the byproducts of someone else' experiment gone wrong. fuyuki found them in one of the creature vaults on the floor below.
the glove, part two, is woven from silicone threads, it has two layers, wedged between them is an extremely powerful electro-magnet, powered by a small nuclear battery at the wrist of the glove.
the orb has two small holes, in which, lie two propeller-powered jets, which enable it to be able to wind around the foe.
accepted?

Joey walks into the research and development section of the league,wondering if he could test weapons or be tested on or just to help.

Oren's magical energies swiftly made its way to the door of the Research and Development laboratory, where he hadn't visited yet. He materialized into his human-looking form and pushed the door open, allowing him to view the wonders inside. Weapons of all types hung on the wall, from Berettas to Static Field generators. It was a wonder to behold, even for Oren, of whom has seen much more; but for an Earthen laboratory, it was a spectacle.
He strode to a wall that had many colorful weapons and defensive mechanisms, and read the sign on top: Foreign/Alien technology. Some seemed quite familiar to Oren, and he recognized a Martian phase sword, very similar to one he was harmed with in times passed.
"This is most likely where he spent most of his time..." Oren thought, expecting his brother to set up camp in here almost every night.
A telescopic sight viewed Oren's every move, until he escaped to the confines of the R&D department, where the lead plated walls restricted x-ray vision.

About three days after Oren's disappearance, Nero had finally made his way into the R&D laboratory, which was his general home in the GML. Nero always strives to find new technology to better himself and make sure he is always on top of the competition. This is where he can let his imagination soar, and he even tends to help the League out with some tech from time to time as well.
This is where he came to relax. Oddly enough, the frustration of tinkering with technological devices soothed Nero, and allowed him to just sit in peace. This was the only time he thoroughly enjoyed being alone.
He sat down at a counter and began to draw and sketch different things until he came up with a decent idea.
