"When you think MirageCorp, what comes to mind? Is it bondage? Latex? Neoprene? Elite guards? Here at MirageCorp, we think that security needs to be more than just thugs. It needs to be sleek.

The N.O.O.S.E. is an excellent example of this year's lineup. The "Near Object Occlusion & Slave Extractor" is due out in the third quarter and is just one of our syntheses of form and function.

How often have you had a 'runner' on your premises? It could be a scantily clad superhero, or it could be a a sultry and sleek secret agent. Maybe it's a sumptuous sorceress - you need them captured and you need it now. More often than not , basic security forces can not do the job. For example, male and female security can be captured, knocked out, or injured - and most conventional machines like Tape Buddies can be circumvented or are becoming common enough to prepare for. A static trap might seem old-hat, but it is the most cost-effective solution to deny  egress for pesky heroes or heroines.

The NOOSE is a trap, plain and simple. Generally placed underneath floor tiles, the NOOSE can be placed anywhere that a one-foot square tile can fit.

When fleeing runners step on the plate, their weight pushes down on the carefully packed gel and reagents below. It pops like a grape, and it sends the payload into the air.  The payload itself is a series of tiny gel beads with a magnetically-inclined core.

The magnets don't simply glob up; they have been polarized to instead form 'sheets,' and create what appears to be a single black glob coming from the floor. It all happens so fast, most subjects don't realize what's happening. Imagine a flower blooming in reverse.

The beads form a bulb around the subject, and several hundred of these practically-microscopic beads then flow upwards, creating a disc directly above the subject and held in place by careful magnetism.

The result? The subject is totally and completely coated by the gel beads which smash together, creating a completely skintight and air-permeable layer. Then, the subject is hoisted into the air and held aloft, able to squirm and thrash (to wear them out) but unable to escape while able to breathe and function normally. Default versions are impossible to see out of or into, but we are working on clear versions that let you see your hyper-wrapped captive as you please.

You can leave the subject there for up to three hours before the beads start to deteriorate - meaning you have plenty of time to show off your latest coated trophy to the rest of your crew. He or she hangs helplessly, perceptible to some teasing, groping, molesting, spanking, grinding - you name it. When you finally want to take them down, the gel coating remains, so you can unwrap them at your leisure - or not.

We of course have different variants; if you want to keep your captive on display for the long term, we are working on a device that also includes instant plumbing for the subject. If you want different colors, we are happy to oblige! The gel currently comes in white, black, and hazard yellow with more on the way.

The plate itself comes in designer colors. Do you have a volcano lair? Tiki hut? Maybe an underground cavern? Modern office complex? Trust us, we'll find it. Plus, the NOOSE system is reusable - only the gel payload needs to be replaced.

So the next time you've got a secret agent escaping with your hostage - don't send in the goon squad. Hang 'em high!
