(And there are grounds for saying it's full title is
Sepet Sucpre Cncehc Sypare : Super Secret Cypher Snatch ).

When they inventory Jarrett's belongings, they find a comb (high frequency resonators), tie-clip (microphone), wallet (survival kit, K issue), cigarette case (.22 pistol with twin magazines and a self-loader), a pen (Tara suggests it might be a hand-operated short-range grenade but is told it's a dispatch case).

Personal possessions
1 comb, 1 wallet, 1 pr cuff links, 1 cigarette case
