Editing Containment Foam (section)

==Application==
The PRT has vans with turrets mounted on the top to spray containment foam.<ref>The containment foam sprayers might have been an issue, but none of the uniforms were in a position to use the stuff.  I'd come prepared, and each sprayer was either thoroughly snagged on spider silk at the top of the equipped trucks, or the PRT agents who were wearing the portable tanks were bound, blind and under siege by massed bugs. - [[Imago 21.1]]</ref><ref>If they were following Tagg's orders, there was now a PRT wagon stationed nearby, ready with a containment foam turret, in case the villains decided to meet there again. -[[Cell 22.1]]</ref> They were only authorized against certain threats.<ref>'''Mover'''<br>Has the ability to transport themselves and/or others to other locations, by means of enhanced speed, teleportation, flight, vehicles or the like.<br>General response is to limit movements where possible, anticipate attack from any direction. When declared in the field, if possible, append classification with type. Mover: Teleporter!<br>
Threat level 2+: Communicate mover nature. Where possible, move fight to a contained area where free-ranging movement is less effective, targeting objectives or other threats to draw attention and focus. Lock down area.

</ref><ref>'''Striker'''<br>Has a power that applies on physical contact. Often applies a changed state, like the breaker classification, but isn’t personal.

PRT officers can equip grenade launchers with specialized loadouts, including containment foam shells.<ref>Grenade launchers, with special shells.  I turned a grenade launcher over in my hands before figuring out how to open it and load the cartridges.  Each was color coded, with a symbol and two-letter code stenciled on it.  A green cartridge with a face, eyes squinting, mouth open with tongue extended, T.G. beneath.  A red cartridge with the letters I.G. and a flame.  A blue cartridge with a stick-man stuck in goop, C.F. no doubt standing for containment foam.  A yellow cartridge with a lightning bolt and E.M. beneath. - [[Cell 22.5]]</ref><ref>If you have to fight, you assume anything is possible and you assume the capes aren't going to be able to back you up. This is the time you bring out the special grenade loadouts, leaning towards the stuff that tends to work across the board (containment foam grenades, stun grenades). - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/12852536 Wildbow on SpaceBattles]</ref> [[Protectorate]] heroes sometimes have grenades as part of their kit as well.<ref>Taylor most likely retreats and the heroes get a glimpse of her while they're foam grenading Lung. - [https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/640tqt/how_different_would_worm_be_if/ Wildbow on SpaceBattles]</ref> It is not a stretch to imagine that Watchdog arm their employees similarly.

The [[Baumann Parahuman Containment Center]] has layers of dormant foam hidden in the outer walls between layers of ceramic, that will bury anyone attempting to break in.<ref>The Baumann Detention Center is a structure so complex I had to design an artificial intelligence to put it together.  It's situated inside of a hollowed out mountain, the walls of which are lined with layers of a ceramic of my own design, each such layer separated by volumes of dormant containment foam.  If you punched a hole in the outside of the mountain, you'd only wind up with more foam than you knew how to handle. - [[Interlude 6]]</ref> Dragon could vent it from the ceiling at will.<ref>I opened a portal within the Birdcage, to capture my first prisoner.<br><br>Containment foam rained down from the ceiling, sealing him in place.<br><br>''Dragon'', I thought. - [[Speck 30.3]]</ref> Many of the drones in the hollowed-out portions carried containment foam,<ref>Both the interior of the tubes and the interior of the mountain itself are vacuums.  Even if an individual were to have powers allowing them to navigate the vacuum, I have three thousand antigrav drones in position at any given time, laying dormant in that lightless void, waiting for any signal, motion, energy or air leakage to awaken them.  Once awakened, a drone will move to the location of said anomaly and detonate.  Many of my drones contain a loadout of containment foam, but others contain payloads designed to counteract various methods one could theoretically use to traverse the vacuum. - [[Interlude 6]]</ref> as did many of her suits.

The [[Parahuman Asylum]] had a sprinkler system that could deploy containment foam.<ref>"It's what we have for the time being.  If you don't verify your own safety or if you signal an emergency, we'll employ containment foam through the sprinkler system."<br><br>"And I'll be stuck here for another hour, with another four pages of paperwork after the fact." - [[Interlude 18.z]]</ref>

[[Dovetail]] had a costume with compact foam sprayers built into it.<ref>She was already unable to use the compact containment foam sprayer she had built into her costume. - [[Imago 21.1]]</ref>

E-type containment cells in the [[PRT ENE Headquarters]] had containment foam sprayers, among other countermeasures.<ref>[[Cell 22.1]]</ref>

=== Foam Sprayers ===
PRT officers are often equipped with tinker-made containment foam applicators resembling flamethrowers, with tanks mounted on their back.<ref name=":2" /> Each tank contains about three gallons of foam.<ref name=":0" /> They're held on with large backpack-like straps.<ref>I was flat on my back and couldn't back away fast enough to escape, especially with my having to slip my arms from the straps that held the tank of containment foam to my back. - [[Tangle 6.6]]</ref> The hose leading from the containment foam tank is tough, but can be cut with a knife.<ref name="PRT33">[https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/16189809 PRT Quest threat iii p33]</ref><ref name=":0" />

They use an electrical charge to prevent the foam sticking to the nozzle,<ref>https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/12/27/tangle-6-5/#comment-593</ref> which makes them vulnerable to an EMP.<ref>There was a muffled ‘whump' sound, and I felt something like a wave of intensely hot air that made every hair on my arms, legs and the back of my neck stand on end.  I realized the trigger of the containment foam sprayer was depressed and nothing was coming out of the end of the weapon.  I tried again.  Nothing.<br><br>That would be an electromagnetic pulse screwing up the machinery. - [[Tangle 6.5]]</ref> The PRT needed [[Dragon]] to maintain them.<ref>"And if you leave, the assumption is that we'll be left without Dragon's ability to maintain every system and device she's created for us.  The PRT without a Birdcage, without our computer systems or database, without the specialized grenade loadouts or the containment foam dispensers." - [[Interlude 20.x]]</ref>

As of 2001, the nozzle had a display showing foam remaining, and settings for spray volume and distribution.<ref>She buckled it on and then gripped the hose-sprayer.  The display on the nozzle would be showing her the amount of foam remaining, as well as the settings for spray volume and distribution. - [[Interlude 16.x]]</ref>

Some foam sprayers had some kind of handprint recognition to prevent them being stolen,<ref>"Hey!" A girl shouted.  I looked and saw a horned girl crouched by one of the fallen PRT officers, holding the foam sprayer.  Imp.  Right, it was Imp.  She looked at Tattletale, "It won't fire!"<br><br>Tattletale hurried over, grabbed the fallen officer's arm, and lifted it over to the handle of the gun.  She put his finger on the trigger and aimed the gun at Clockblocker, unloading spray on top of his upper body just as he managed to heave the fallen officer off of himself. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/05/01 Excerpt] from [[Parasite 10.3]]</ref> likely the same system installed on the PRT's grenade launchers, which required special PRT-issue gloves to activate.<ref>[[Cell 22.5]]</ref>
