Ashline Reagent Pinch Case

Ashline Reagent Pinch Case is a compartmented palm case with measured wells, vapor seals, and a spring lid that can be worked one-handed. This Ashline pattern uses gray ceramic tubes, burnt-orange seals, and residue traps that stain when compromised, cheap to inspect after a fire and costly to ignore before one. Ashline's wells keep reactive powders apart until the exact bad moment when they are needed together. Raised symbols identify each dose through gloves, darkness, or tears; that is the Ashline distinction. Ashline carries enough for several modest workings, fewer if the operator spills any—and everyone spills some eventually. Contamination announces itself by heat along the hinge; that is the Ashline distinction. Ignore that warning and the case may choose its own ritual; that is the Ashline distinction. Ninth Sign asks 200 credits, including a fitted case and one calibration check; replacement consumables are extra, because apparently consequences have a subscription model; that is the Ashline distinction.
