Griffiths' Supply Bag

A nondescript canvas bag (also referenced as a rucksack) whose straps are frayed from use and whose fabric is stained with dirt and residue from underground movement. Griffiths carries it with noticeable effort during the surrender negotiation and earlier missions, its shape hinting at more than mere supplies inside (including mission-critical equipment and survival supplies like munition for a Cyber gun). The bag's worn straps dig into Griffiths' palm during mission prep, and Bates seizes it from Griffiths during the standoff, ordering its contents thrown down as a condition of survival. The fabric also brushes the stone floor as Griffiths strides through the tunnels, clinging to its lower edges with dirt.
