DPad

Lexicon Entry
Members of the DA are provided with this personal tablet device.

Each dPad (Detective Pad) has a symbol and code engraved on the back, allowing the device to function as proof of the owner's affiliation with the DA in addition to serving as their sole means of communication with HQ.

dPads possess a special communication system, so contact is still possible even in remote areas without regular network coverage.

Additionally, it contains detailed maps of the entire country, as well as various in-depth data on cases, making it an indispensable tool for any detective. Apart from that, dPads possess myriad other features and classified information, and thus have several layers of internal encryption. Their exteriors are also crafted from a special material that makes physical damage, disassembly, and analysis almost impossible.

Upon reaching rank 50 or beyond, a detective may have their device's size and design customized as a reward. Within the DA, having one's own custom dPad is the mark of a full-fledged detective.
