They can ignore temperatures at a range of plus or minus 100 degrees Celsius and automatically pressurize thin atmospheres for breathability, or filter particulates or airborn toxins. By Committing Effort for the scene, they can shield up to six comrades. This lasts until the user reclaims the Effort.

Corbeau Boucher has learned that his neuromuscular disorder, which has advanced to the point of causing atrophy of his leg muscles, was caused by the adversarial conditions of his homeworld. The doctors have told him the condition is degenerative and will continue to worsen. Affording the costs for treatment and locating the specialists that can identify and help with the disorder are his primary goals. He has begun to be embroiled in criminal activity to support these costs.
Corbeau has developed some skills learning to convince other people to do his work for him. He has also learned some patience having to rely on other people to meet some basic needs.
The conditions of his homeworld and his muscular disorder afforded him a lot of time isolated in his own head. This revealed to him some psionic aptitude. He has begun to test the limits of his abilities in telekenetics giving him more confidence that he can become more self-reliant as his body fails him.

Gunslinger 1
Gain Shoot as a bonus skill. You can draw or holster a Stowed ranged weapon as an On Turn action. You may add your Shoot skill level to a ranged weapon’s damage roll.
Specialist: Fix
Roll 3d6 and drop the lowest die for all skill checks in this skill.
Tinkerer 1
Gain Fix as a bonus skill. Your Maintenance score is doubled, allowing you to maintain twice as many mods. Both ship and gear mods cost only half their usual price in credits, though pretech salvage requirements remain the same.
Once per scene, as an Instant ability, you can either choose to negate a successful attack roll against you or turn a missed attack roll you made into a successful hit. You can use this ability after the dice are rolled, but it cannot be used against environmental damage, effects without an attack roll, or hits on a vehicle you’re occupying.
== Background ==
A stony-faced combat mechanic who works with military precision.
Born on Mavrokola, a war-torn T3 world making the arduous transition to T4, Shion Kuznetsov is no stranger to conflict. From a young age she handled and maintained weapons and equipment both military and domestic, discovering a natural affinity for machinery that has served her as well as her formal martial training. The extent and capacity of her service history, as well as the reason for her current vagrant status is something Shion keeps close to her chest, but it's clear from her impassive expression and honed movements that she's seen more than a few battles, and there are few better mechanics around.
== Foci ==
Armsman 1
You can draw or sheath a Stowed melee or thrown weapon as an Instant action.
You may add your Stab skill level to a melee or thrown weapon’s damage roll or Shock damage, assuming it has any to begin with.
Close Combatant 1
You can use pistol-sized ranged weapons in melee without suffering penalties for the proximity of melee attackers.
You ignore Shock damage from melee assailants, even if you’re unarmored at the time.
Die Hard 1
You gain an extra 2 maximum hit points per level. This bonus applies retroactively if you take this focus after first level.
You automatically stabilize if mortally wounded by anything smaller than a Heavy weapon.

Level-1: As level-0, and heal 1d6+1 hit points of damage.
If used on a mortally-wounded target, they revive

the next round.
Mastered Succor Level-1
The biopsion has developed a sophisticated mastery of
their core ability, and they no longer need to Commit
Effort to activate it, and may use it whenever they wish.
The use of additional techniques that augment Psychic
Succor might still require Effort to be Committed
== Foci == Unarmed Combatant Your empty hands are more dangerous than knives and guns in the grip of the less gifted. Your unarmed attacks are counted as melee weapons when it comes to binding up opponents wielding rifles and similar long arms, though you need at least one hand free to do so. Level 1: Gain Punch as a bonus skill. Your unarmed attacks become more dangerous as your Punch skill increases. At level-0, they do 1d6 damage. At level-1, they do 1d8 damage. At level-2 they do 1d10, level-3 does 1d12, and level-4 does 1d12+1. At Punch-1 or better, they have the Shock quality equal to your Punch skill against AC 15 or less. While you normally add your Punch skill level to any unarmed damage, don’t add it twice to this Shock damage. Ironhide Through uncanny reflexes developed from precognitive MES potential, you have natural defenses equivalent to high-quality combat armor. The benefits of this focus don’t stack with armor, though Dexterity or shield modifiers apply. Level 1: You have an innate Armor Class of 15 plus half your character level, rounded up.
== Nexus Abilities ==
Nexus Effort: 6 / 6 Symbiosis: As an Instant action once per round, nominate a visible, willing target within 30 meters that is not you. Until you change your selection, the target counts as your symbiotic partner for use of your Nexus gifts, provided they remain within 300 meters. Only one Free Nexus can partner with a given target on any single round. Free Nexus Effort: You have a Free Nexus Effort score that fuels all your abilities. It is committed and recovered just as psychic Effort is, but is tracked separately. Your total Free Nexus Effort equals your number of Nexus gifts, plus the better of your Wisdom or Charisma attribute modifiers. Distributed War Mind: Commit Free Nexus Effort for the scene as an Instant action to refresh a Warrior partner’s class ability, allowing them to use it a second time in the scene. This gift can be used only once per scene per partner. Reflexive Action: Commit Free Nexus Effort for the scene as an Instant action. Your partner immediately can take a Main Action of their choice. This gift can only be used once per scene per partner. Borrowed Brilliance: Commit Free Nexus Effort for the scene as an Instant action immediately before making an attack roll or a skill check. You make the attack or skill check as if your partner was the one making it, using their bonuses and skills.
== Cybernetics / Innate Abilities == Panspectral Optics: Ocular adjustments to the wearer allow them to see clearly at any light level short of perfect darkness, in addition to giving them thermal vision that can easily distinguish shapes and distance even in the total absence of light. Dangerous radiation and lasers tuned outside the range of visible light are also visible to the user. Nearby radio transmissions can be seen as if they were visual flares of color. The system cannot translate these transmissions, only alert the user to them. Induced Coma Trigger: A series of implants are wired to the user’s brain stem, allowing an external trigger to induce a therapeutic coma. The user appears dead to anything short of a medical inspection, and has no need of respiration, food, or water while the coma is in effect. The user does not heal while in a coma, but any diseases or poisons also halt progression. The GM determines how long the coma is to last before triggering it, and the user is unconscious for its duration. A character can survive in a coma up to two weeks before needing to regain consciousness for as long as they were in the coma.

multipurpose scanner that can take atmospheric and gravitic readings, provide basic chemical analysis of samples of up to one cubic centimeter in size, and record up to two hundred hours of video information or ten times that amount of audio. Know skill checks are necessary for any but the most basic analysis.
A standard belt-worn kit with fire lighter, water filter, three thermal flares, knife, thermal blanket, a brightly-colored 3 x 3 meter waterproof tarp, a glowbug, and a radio beacon that can transmit a distress signal up to fifty kilometers for one month on the included type A power cell. Survival kits sold on a particular world will usually also include a small booklet on specific dangers or edible organics. Possession of a survival kit grants a +1 to all relevant Survive skill checks, assuming its contents are helpful on a given planet. Survival kits are well-organized, and count as only one item for encumbrance purposes.
Sleeper Surveillance Drone(Total 10,750) Sleeper (2,500) Sleeper drones are built to tarry on station for long periods. They have the Stationkeeping fitting as an integral part of their design, and when hovering their power use slows to a trickle. One day of hovering draws only five minutes worth of power from its cell.
Observation Suite (250) Observation Suite: All drones are wired for basic camera and sound, but this suite contains a full-spectrum UV/IR visual package, remote sound sensors, and radiation/chemical detectors. The drone can focus on conversations or facial expressions from up to 2 kilometers away and can operate even in the complete absence of visible light.
Sensor Transparency (5,000) Sensor Transparency: The drone is sheathed in anti-radar composites. Ordinary sensors will not detect it at observation range, and high-end military sensors can spot it only on an Int/Program check at difficulty 9.
Holoskin (3,000) Holoskin: The drone can drop a filmy hologram over itself, one convincing at a distance. The difficulty of visually spotting the drone becomes 10 at weapons range or 12 at observational range. Weapons fire always draws attention.
Stalker Tactical Support Drone(Total 9,480) Stalker (1,000) Stalker drones are the default TL4 workhorses of drone-kind and are available on most modern worlds.
Expert System (5,000) Expert System: The drone is loaded with sophisticated self-piloting software. It can be given a flight plan by its operator, have targets designated for its weapon, and respond to simple environmental cues. Each new command takes up a Main Action and commands with any conditional states may require an Int/Program skill check to get the drone to understand. The drone can fire only one weapon per round and uses a total attack bonus of +2 if attacking autonomously. Quantum ECM will scramble this lightweight system.
Medical Support (2,000) Medical Support: The drone can be loaded with up to a dozen units of medication, whether stim doses, lazarus patches, or less benevolent substances. It can launch a medication through a remote injector at a target within ten meters in lieu of a weapon attack. Immobile or willing targets are hit automatically, while hostiles require a normal hit roll. The drone is treated as having Heal-0 skill or the active pilot’s Heal skill, whichever is higher.
- 6 Lift (300) [1d8 healing]Lift (Heal-0): A Lift stim augments and amplifies the body’s natural response to physical injury and exhaustion. This boost speeds natural recovery drastically and heals 1d8 plus the user’s Heal skill in hit points after five minutes of rest. Lift stims do not work on PCs who are mortally wounded; they need to be stabilized before the Lift can help them, though application to a stabilized target will get them back on their feet and active again. Each application adds 1 System Strain to the target. Each additional application of Lift to a target the same day increases the minimum Heal skill needed by 1.
- 6 Lazarus Patches (180) Lazarus patch: A vital tool for adventurers, the lazarus patch is a heavy compress laced with antibiotics, coagulants, system stabilizers, plasma, and a one-shot diagnostic suite. If the patch is applied to a character that has fallen to 0 hit points, the user can make an Int/Heal or Dex/Heal skill check against difficulty 6 to stabilize the subject. The more time between injury and application, the less chance the patch has to work. Each round after the first, an additional -1 penalty is applied to the skill check. The patch is no use after six rounds. If the medic fails the first skill check, they can keep trying the check once per round until the victim is revived or time runs out.
Bomber (500) Bomber: The drone is fitted to drop up to two grenade-sized explosives, one or both in lieu of a different weapon attack. Dropping a grenade from more than 30 meters up automatically causes the grenade to scatter from its intended target point.
- 2 Demo Charges (500) [3d10]Demo Charges are the general run of placed explosives beloved of terrorists and adventurers the world over. The usual variety can be detonated by radio signals, timers, or electrical charges, and inflict their damage on any objects within twenty meters, with an Evasion saving throw for half damage. Victims within forty meters take half damage, with an Evasion save for none. The charge is sufficient to blow a four-meter wide hole in anything short of a reinforced wall. PCs with a background in demolitions or Fix-0 skill can shape the charge so it directs the blast in only one direction, sparing all but two meters of the rest.
Sleek black Leidome Industries Gravbike
Motorcycles can navigate urban terrain that would block larger vehicles, but more rural landscapes can prove more difficult. Hovercycles are the TL4 equivalent, capable of brief boosts of up to 10 meters above the ground and the easy navigation of all but thick forests or sheer slopes.
Subject Seven grew up in a human testing lab run by The Blood (and the government of Mer). She was explicitly told she doesn't have parents and has no idea what she was built/being prepared for. She spent her entire childhood in the White Room, entertained only by the endless educational textbooks she was allowed and when performing whatever tests they had for her.
When she was twelve, the lab itself was actually shut down by a government watchdog in a fairly public expose of human testing. Locals of Mer would know about the lab, if not the actual test subjects. She was given a small settlement from the government in a bank account and effectively abandoned on the street by the bureaucracy.
Raised without social interaction and left alone with a bank account, she spent her teenage years in the apartment she was placed in, watching TV and ordering delivery of junk food, gadgets, and things she saw advertised on commercials. The building supervisor, Ivan, is the the only extended human contact she had. He called her "Sem" in Mavrokolan, and she adopted it. When her money ran out he tried to shield her until one day he dissappeared and she got evicted.
The main activity of her childhood was academic study, and she fell back on that habit while alone in her apartment as well. Enrolling in online courses eclecticly and as suited her fancy, she completed coursework in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity in Computer Science, Data Analytics, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Management, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Systems Engineering, Administrative Law & Gov't Regulation, Advanced Torts, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Constitutional Law & Civil Rights, Family Law & Estate Planning, Government Procurement, Litigation & the Judicial Process, Applied Mathematics, Art History, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Forensic Chemistry, Forensic Psychology, Geography, Human Paleobiology, Interior Design, Philosophy, Classics, Ancient History, International Relations, Political Management, Physics, Aeronautics, Astronautics, Nuclear Science, and Chinese.

and drop the lowest die. Stims or other technological healing devices applied by you heal twice as many hit points as normal. Using only basic medical supplies, you can heal 1d6+Heal skill hit points of damage to every injured or wounded person in your group with ten minutes of first aid spread among them. Such healing can be applied to a given target only once per day.
