The power to issue commands to technological devices.
Used by Allister Wildheart, Created by jjkilla234.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. )

a small computer screen flips out from inside Alistair's right Arm, he begins to intently focus on it until a string of ethereal lines composed of gears link his arm and the device together. the gears turn into the lines of code that are being sent back and forth between the two points.

Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions. Select a Device within 300 feet. Does not work on Alien technology. Roll Intellect + Technology, with the Difficulty set by the GM depending on the security of the system you are hacking. Sapient targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you may issue a single command to the targeted system. This command must have a specific outcome or be a request for specific login credentials. The command you issue must be within the machine's current capabilities. For example, you cannot order a standard security camera to grow legs and walk around.

Your command does not have to take effect immediately. Instead, upon a successful Hack, you may specify a condition under which the specified command is issued or simply suspend the Command until you desire to activate it.

When targeting non-computer devices, you may operate switches, buttons, dials, levers, and latches.

Every hack you make leaves behind a animated Clockwork dove Clippy in the system as a personal "calling card" that informs anyone who uses the system that the hack occurred.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
