I do appreciate the creative thinking, Ms. Givens. Very well, granted.
[She will find in her room a pretty little .22 purse pistol with no ammunition. Instead of a manufacturer's name, the words Nerf Gun are subtly machined along the barrel. It will render anyone hit with it unconscious for between ten minutes and an hour.
There is also something that looks like nothing so much as a large version of a child's red wagon with cartoon hands attached to the sides. In fact, the hands are large, puffy, four-fingered white gloves that strongly resemble those of a certain mouse, with arms made of matte black pistons and springs.
An attached card informs her that she can activate the Helpful Handcart with the phrase "Helpful Handcart Go!" The hands will then spring out to grab the nearest person other than her, and place them in the wagon bed. The wagon is nearly indestructible and will always feel as though it has a maximum weight of about ten pounds. The hands will attempt to hold any person placed in the wagon, but are probably not fool-proof, so the Handcart is perhaps most efficiently used on unconscious targets. The Helpful Handcart has star-shaped wheels sized to catch and roll on the barge's stairs if the elevators are out, and it can also be used to carry heavy loads that are not people with the same weight-reduction effect. The Helpful Handcart's magical functions will only operate on the barge or in its immediate sphere of influence in ports.]
