The equipment and various inventions created in the 12th Squad are essential in completing the responsibilities given to the Gotei 13. So whenever a squad, or even individual Soul reapers feel as though their technology can help aid them in their various missions, they come down to the Equipment Application Office.
Here the technology of the furture is just a few short hours of waiting in line away. Take a number and pray to the Spirit King that you hear them call you. Here they will send you to the back of the line so fast you wont know what hit you. A good attitude or a little extra insentive have never hurt your chances of getting to the front the line a little quicker though.
Upon entering the office you will notice its almost sterile environment. On the far wall there are various forms lined across the counter categorized by which type of equipment you want. Each person must fill one of these out. Next there is a Reiatsu scanner that takes a small prick of blood from your thumb this will display your name on the list. After that you can then take a seat in one of the few chairs in this office. There is usally at least three or four people standing around due to lack of chairs. If somebody important like a captain or lieutenant happens to stop in though they are usually welcomed by either Sai or Lejiel.
