	'''~~Thermoptic~~ Camouflage'''		'''Adaptive Camouflage'''
	:~~Originally developed in America~~, ~~thermoptic camouflage is a thin plasticized fabric consisting of~~ a ~~network of piezoelectrically-driven metamaterials that mimic not only various standard~~ uniform ~~camouflage patterns, but can also adaptively adjust~~ to ~~effectively 'cloak~~' the ~~agent from sight~~. ~~Additionally~~, ~~they protect against thermal~~ and ~~milimetric-wave detection~~. ~~Most commonly they take the form of 'ghillie suits' worn overtop normal gear, but more recently, combat armor and vehicles~~ have ~~become fitted~~ with ~~integrated thermoptics. All versions also include wave negators to counteract motion detectors~~.		:Designed by a Russian technological development house, Adaptive Camouflage uses light-emitting diodes and light sensors woven into armor or a uniform to blur the wearer's signature into the background. Its main problem, though, is that the phenomenally complex computer programs it requires to process the environment are finicky and crash more than a Paradox game. Especially when you really would prefer to have them not crash.
	::~~The entire assemblage uses a Forces~~ 2~~/Life 2 rote to shield from almost all forms of mundane detection, imposing a +3~~ difficulty ~~modifier~~ to any ~~alertness or awareness~~ rolls made against the character.		:: Can be integrated with any full-body armor or in BDUs.
	::~~Model 25 Thermoptic Camouflage does not respond quickly and fast movement (~~moving at more than a walk, ~~etc) reduce the penalty to +1. Slow~~ movements (~~more than a crawl~~) ~~reduce it to +2.~~		:: +2 difficulty to any Alertness rolls made against the character when still, +1 when moving. Being able to see in non-visual spectra will negate this difficulty modifier.
	~~::Model 29 is more sophisticated (and commensurately more expensive) and suffers no penalty.~~		:: In less permissive environments than, say, Tokyo or the US, it may crash when exposed to rapidly changing environments, such as firing an unsuppressed weapon, moving at more than a walk, or any other fast movements (like dodging or anything that requires an athletics roll).
	~~::Carrying objects that cannot be concealed under the thermoptics can reduce the spot difficulty by 1-2 points.~~
	~~::Loosely coincidental in the first world~~.
