Project TALON

General:

Project TALON is a secret project began by the first Athena as a most deadly weapon and the tool of power with which an Athena may exert force over the court. It has taken many forms, with each iteration of the Athena developing their own from the technology of their period.

 Athenas and their TALONS: 

Jakob Fugger:                                                                                                                                                               While Fugger was the first to begin the project, the technology of his TALON was understandably limited. His TALON was a trained assassin who would enforce physical control over the court for Fugger if needs be.

Benjamin Franklin:                                                                                                                                                  Though weapons technology was never Franklin's focus, his discovery of electricity was easily weaponizable. Franklin's TALON was a primitive taser which could electrify all members at the table at an owl meeting.

John D. Rockefeller:                                                                                                                                              Rockefeller had a penchant for chemical warfare. His TALON was trench warfare chemical weapons.

Harry S Truman:                                                                                                                                                        Truman was the only modern president to have become an Athena. His TALON was therefore easy to identify. Nuclear launch codes. His TALON is regarded as the most destructive of any Athena.

M:                                                                                                                                                                          M is the first Athena to have come into power purely through science and technology, and his TALON is subsequently highly advanced. His TALON is a cloud smart dust that tracks every owl and can be used to inject samples of botulinum toxin into the owl's blood.
