When you encounter unidentified phenomena through sensors, you may immediately make a Swift Task, without the need to spend Momentum or an increase in Difficulty. This Task may only be used to attempt to analyze the preliminary data you have received using Reason + Science and a relevant Focus.

You have undergone training in telepathic techniques that allow the melding of minds through physical contact. This will always require a Task with a Difficulty of at least 1, which can be opposed by an unwilling participant. If successful, you link minds with the participant, sharing thoughts and memories; Momentum may be spent to gain more information, or perform deeper telepathic exchanges. This link goes both ways, and it is a tiring and potentially hazardous process for you. Complications can result in pain, disorientation, or lingering emotional or behavioral difficulties.

You have a reputation of doing the impossible: repairs or modifications well in advance of expectations; getting offline systems up and running when most needed and so on. Whenever you use Engineering on an Extended Task, if you achieve a Breakthrough and roll at least one Effect on a Challenge Die, you achieve a second Breakthrough.

You have a device that allows you a degree of autonomy from fixed holoemitters. Most of these mobile emitters are bulky, awkward pieces of equipment with a limited amount of power, making them useful only for short periods and emergencies, but the technology is improving. While you have your mobile emitter, you can move freely in places that lack holo-emitters. However, Complications may reflect damage to or problems with the emitter.

The Changeling may, when assuming an alternate form, assume the form of a specific individual, mimicking their appearance and personality sufficiently that even close friends may be unable to discern the truth. Further, the Changeling no longer needs to revert to a liquid state in order to rest.

The character may spend 1 Momentum as a Minor Action once per Turn to assume a different form, gaining an additional Trait to reflect whatever form they have chosen, though they cannot yet mimic an individual, and they must return to a liquid state for a few hours of rest every sixteen hours. While in an alternate form, it is next to impossible (Difficulty 5) to discern the Changeling’s true nature, without separating some part of the Changeling’s substance. The character also has a Resistance of 4.

Engineers understand that safety tolerances and operating margins are always designed into the acceptable performance range of equipment. While not recommended the equipment is usually capable of higher performance, if the consequences are risky. This Talent provides bonus Momentum for using a ship’s System until the end of the scene. Select the System you wish to enhance, and the number of bonus Momentum to be provided. Attempt a Daring + Engineering Task with a Difficulty equal to the bonus Momentum selected. If the you succeed, subsequent Tasks using that System automatically generate that amount of bonus Momentum. However, to represent the risks involved, the Task also increases its Complication Range by the same number as the Bonus Momentum provided. If a Complication is rolled, the System no longer provides bonus Momentum and the System suffers a number of Breaches equal to half the ship's Scale.

Any Injuries caused by this damage is resolved after the effects of the Task. Multiple dice may be bought in this way, but the damage is added together (so, buying two dice inflicts 6 CD damage, and buying 3 dice inflicts 9 CD damage). These dice count towards the normal limit of bonus d20s purchased.

When an ally succeeds at a Task that was made possible or had reduced Difficulty because of an Advantage created by the character, if that Advantage represented a plan or strategy, they generate two bonus Momentum. Bonus Momentum cannot be saved into the group pool.
