Equipment Information[]
The Volta Press is a Warehouse equipment tool used in the process of flushing out negative energy out of clothing/blanket/cloth related artifacts by pressing down and running a positive current through, then administered with a anti-static foam. This is used as an alternative to the Neutralizer Scrubber, as the scrubber could possibly damage some artifacts.
Invented by Italian scientist Armigo D'Annunzio in 1924, the press was introduced as a alternate way to neutralize certain artifacts as most of them couldn't be neutralized by normal means. Unfortunately, the positive current that would run through would ultimately super charge the artifact instead of flushing the negative energy out. So to combat it, Anti-static foam was integrated into the press to help even the positive energies out.
The Press has more a bathtub like look to it before activation with a top lid to encase the artifacts due for pressing. During pressing, the tub like press starts to compress like a vacuum expelling all the air inside until completely flat. Then the press activates the positive energy flow, flushing all the negative energy out. Afterwards, Anti-static foam is administered, which forms a mold around the artifact, which can be broken and the artifact can be retrieved. This is not a popular piece of equipment among agents as the press has to be cleaned of the foam manually and only used on extremely unruly artifacts.
Additional Notes[]
In one documented case, a person actually became trapped inside the press. Although he died, his body dissipated, seemly neutralized thoroughly by the press.
This was deemed a suitable enough by the Regents to include this mode of death, in their agent contingency plans. Thankfully, no one has yet to be killed by this method as of now.
