Aggressive Sludge "Isaac taketh"

2
The power to grievously injure a target.
Used by Isaac McKnight, Created by Omnitox.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect is very likely to be disturbed to see a layer of steaming, slime rapidly develop on your hands like mold on old bread, under the slime your bones are visible. )

Isaac summons otherworldly ooze to use as a dangerous projectile. This ectoplasm is charged with necrotic negative energy that is so cold, it burns.

After a horrible nightmare about Isaac drowning in bullets, a supernatural defence mechanism awakens in Issac. He woke up slinging balls of ectoplasm all over his room, It took way too long to clean.

If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much Damage plus 4.

The target suffers a -3 dice penalty for the next hour or until the Injury is healed. This dice penalty does not stack multiple times on the same target.

Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Computer within arm's reach. 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.

If your command does not require bypassing the security of the target (for example, typing on a computer that is unlocked), you do not need to Exert your Mind to activate this Effect, and activation only takes a single Action.

Your Hack cannot be reversed through mundane means for a number of hours equal to your Outcome.

Every hack you make leaves behind a flickering image of a ghost in the system as a personal "calling card" that informs anyone who uses the system that the hack occurred.

  • You cannot hack things outside of your range over remote connections such as the internet. The system you are affecting must be physically within range.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
