Handle and receiver of black polycarbonate plastic and metal, as pistols in earlier centuries often were. The distinction is particularly a large capacitor slung up where the hammer would be.

A worn placard on the side reads "United Republic of the Americas".

The Glimmerwake Sentience manifests as a fragment of the Crystal Light—an autonomous sliver of its unknowable intellect, sheathed in shifting color and sharp geometry. It drifts silently through the air like a thought given form: translucent, angular, and slightly wrong to the eye. When Jessica exerts her will, the shard splinters away from the Nexus, unfolding into a dazzling lattice that scans its surroundings with alien precision. Invisible vibrations echo through the quantum weave of the environment, pulling forth residual impressions—memories etched in the very fabric of space. It does not see as we do. It remembers.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Investigate an area with a radius of up to 1 mile At the end of your investigation, roll Intellect + Science at Difficulty 6.

You cannot investigate the same area more than once per day.
Goddamnit, that raccoon had managed to find its way into the shed with all of the feed again... It wasn't the end of the world, not like the little guy was gonna eat his way through a couple dozen cow's worth of feed anytime soon, but the raccoon would probably end up trapped in here if she didn't help him out, and if Rosie tried she was probably only gonna end up scaring him and getting bit.

If you succeed, you create a Barrier extending out 15 feet from yourself, which absorbs 2 times the next (Outcome +2) Damage. Only applies to attacks which originated outside the 15 foot radius, and protects anyone who is within that radius. You may choose to create a bubble barrier. If you do, no physical objects or entities can pass into your bubble until the barrier is broken, but you and the barrier cannot move.

The period is chosen either by time (i.e. “last Friday night”) or by reference to a specific event (i.e. “when the murder occurred”).

The 255TE "Lancer" Rife fires an extremely deadly spike of plasma at its targets.
