Alien Technology
3-POINT PULLING STRING
PREREQUISITE: Starguard Profession
Whether from the capture of an alien, recovered wreckage, or some alien “feeding” technology from the shadows, The Conspiracy has a small stockpile of specialized items. The items available vary and only one request can be made per week making a Routine Admin/Legal check. The item is lent for a “mission” or a period of testing depending on the reason for the request. If another request is made, the check suffers a one Step Difficulty penalty per outstanding item. The referee may also modify the difficulty depending on the importance of the item and the demands on that item. Delivery time depends on how far from the item storage place the character is at the time of request. If in the same town or city, the item is delivered or dropped off in an hour. Delivery within the same country is 24 hours (or less if the referee feels it could arrive more quickly). Transport to another country takes two days, and the Task suffers a one Step Difficulty Increase. Damaged, destroyed, lost, or absconded devices result in a visit by some very dangerous internal security operatives. They will ask pointed questions regarding the device. Unless they are completely satisfied with the character’s answer, the character loses access to this Pulling String for D6(3) months, and may suffer a permanent reduction of his Influence Quality (by means best left unmentioned; the reduction depends on the importance of the item).
