As Bill starts to treat the issue, he proceeds to tie off the blood flow of the associated body part, unless it's the head.

Resting a body inside a Cocoon, the Alien slowly transmutes the biology of the subject; changing the genealogy of said subject for the purposes of adaptation to a basic function, or genetic capability. While this effect seems simple, it is nothing but; the person in question is subjected to a forceful moment of drowsiness before being sat in a fetal position.
Thus begins the process: a cocoon is formed using the salivary regurgitation of the Xenomorph, creating a thick leathery cradle for the body to be placed in. The Cradle is then filled with Amniotic fluid provided by the Xeno-Mother, to which the Person inside will be drowned by soon. To ensure their survival, the Xeno-Mother injects their breathing apparatus, whatever that may, be with a fleshy umbilical that which is attached to the Cradle's respiratory organ.
This process may shock the subject into a state of fear and confusion, leading them to harm the process, so to ensure they won't interfere with the progress, the Cradle's biological appendages wrap around the limbs of the body and seal themselves. Injecting them with a numbing effect of which makes movements slow and constricting: You are awake, you can move, it's dark, wet, hot, you're barely being kept alive by the pumped hot air in your body. All you can hear is the muffled sounds of a monster lurking just outside your shell. You can break out... But will you?
On the outside, it looks like the most horrible state of body horror, that ends with the cocoon bursting with amniotic fluid, being set anew; like a reborn child.

You may add one augmentation to your target. Each augmentation counts as a Battle Scar and can have exactly one of the following Effects:
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Body Horror and restrictive invasive biology.
Your alteration "heals" over the course of the next month, after which it is fully cured.
You extend your arm towards the targeted area, rosary wrapped around your wrist; muffled screams can be heard from those in the blast radius shortly before a torrent of wraith-like phoenixes and… a certain friend of yours… manifest at the origin point and radiate outward, bursting into ectoplasm and gnashing and clawing at whatever is caught in their wake.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within 40 feet. You must actively and obviously use a rosary to activate this Effect. The area within 25 feet of the chosen Location immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Intellect + Investigation (1 dice) at Difficulty 6. Targets inside the radius may attempt an appropriate Reaction at GM’s discretion. Finding a physical barrier to use as cover will cut total Damage taken in half (applies after Reaction roll but before Armor).
If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 25 feet of the chosen Location with Damage equal to your Outcome + 4.
If you successfully hit your target, the value of any Armor they are wearing is reduced by 2. For material armor, this penalty lasts until it is repaired. For intrinsic armor, it lasts until the end of Combat and any relevant wound is healed.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see the mental anguish from the piercing wails and the haunting visages as they burst from the ground.
Doc puts his hands on you and begins to mutter to himself in french. The effect is instant and horrible. You begin to remember all of the sins of your past, all the ways that you've wronged those who loved you. All of the terrible, evil things you've done on these contracts in order to survive. Doc seems to be in the grips of similar memories, tears running down his chin and dripping onto his hands that are pressed tightly against you. At the point where your mind feels like it's about to break, it's over. Just as quickly as it began. You feel your wounds begin to close.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma. Your target must make a Trauma roll to reap the benefits of this Effect. They may choose to Resist the Effect and not make the roll. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Charisma + Medicine (1 dice) at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
The Psychic can speak directly into someone's mind, engaging in an entirely telepathic conversation. While they do, they take on a blank, vacant stare in the direction of their target, and appear to be muttering gibberish to themselves under their breath.

This alteration lasts one minute but may be prematurely destroyed or altered. Your alterations may be broken through with appropriate tools. Anyone attempting to break through must roll Brawn + a relevant Ability. A cumulative Outcome of 6 across all attempts breaks a hole large enough to move through. See the extended system text for GM guidance on various tools.
The aquamancer shifts into their elemental form and melds into a nearby collection of water, only to reform shortly out of a different source of water within line of sight.
