Whenever the gift user successfully dismembers a living target with a melee weapon, a blurry effect strongly reminiscent of a coronal loop is briefly emitted from the dismembering cut in the direction of that weapon's swing.

After briefly examining a target, a thin manila folder forms somewhere on Frank’s person, a gift from his benefactor. It could be tucked into his trench coat, hidden in a bag, hell, it could even manifest in his hand if he so chooses. It’s filled with a variety of papers documenting the target’s life, their memories, their experiences and desires. Images dance along the file whenever a specific memory is chosen, illuminating the truth about the target’s past.
To observers, the folder appears to be filled with nothing but blank sheets of printer paper. Those with the Clear-Sighted enhancement should be easily able to gleam that there’s something off with the folder, that some illusion or false reality prevents it’s contents from being shared.
Once the power ends, the folder returns to his benefactor.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Living, Animate target within 25 feet. You must maintain Concentration while the effect is active. Roll Perception + Investigation at Difficulty 6. The target may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you are able to view your target's memories. If you fail, the target knows you're attempting to read their memories.
You may ask a number of specific questions about their memory equal to your Contested Outcome. For example, “what is their computer password,” “What were they doing at 4:00PM yesterday,” etc. You cannot get answers to broad, analytical questions like “are they a good person?” or “what are their plans for the future?”
Each question you ask and memory you replay takes a single Round to read.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is reading over a manila folder. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
Emily has undergone truly massive genetic retrofitting by Gen-Wyld. The latest set of augments were mostly upgrades to her fur and subdermal armor. Several fascinating advances in keratin research have enabled the researchers to add a second underlayer of a down like fur that, when provoked by her autonomous nervous system, will rise like hackles and unfurl slightly. This undercoat has similar thermal resistance to aerogel, and enables survival in even extreme temperature environments.
Of course, her primary coat received an upgrade pass as well, increasing its softness and lustre both.
Some degree of genetics from an actual werewolf were integrated to serve as a bonding agent in some of the fur upgrades, and interestingly, an introduction of pure silver appears to cause an unraveling. We're going to need to switch out what we're using as a bonding agent for the next upgrade.
Update: Finally got up to switching out that bonding agent.
