Forespoken The words are not mine. They are the ones you were always meant to hear.

The power to communicate with humans and Sapient beings.
Used by Amy Glass, Created by Panpharmacon.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. It is clear that you are communicating with the target. )

Amy glimpses thousands of possible futures to find where she says the right thing. She simply repeats what she hears, whether it's merely translating a language or saying exactly what someone wants to hear.

Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action.

You may understand and communicate to humans and Sapient beings as if you are fluent in a relevant language for the next 30 seconds.

While active and speaking to a single individual, you may choose to use glib tongue. When you do, anything you say to them (even gibberish) will be exactly what they want to hear. You gain no understanding of what that might be.

While this Effect is active, you are at -2 dice to all Actions and cannot Concentrate.

Somewhere along the way, he fell into a frequency that most dismiss as background noise. Wayne listened, and it speaks to him. People say he's just paranoid.

But he knows the truth: people leak. Not just the secrets they choose to share, but the messages between words. Body language, lunguistic anomalies, eye movements... each part of the lattice. These messages are constant, undeniable, and inescapable.

The only problem is... it can't be turned off...
