• Prior Service S.H.I.E.L.D, Piloting - When you take this talent, choose an organization your character was a member of.

• Adapted Theory (Knowledge) (Rank 2): Your character may use this talent before making a check to use the Knowledge skill and Intellect instead of the skill and characteristic the check would normally require. Your character may use this talent a number of times per session equal to their ranks in Applied Research. When your character uses this talent, you should explain how their mastery of knowledge lets them accomplish this task. In addition, your GM may rule that a particular knowledge skill makes the most sense in a given situation.

Mechanics

For a number of pages equal to your character's ranks in Mechanics, the item may be used without penalty (see page 89 of the Genesys Core Rulebook), even if it is unusable. When the effect ends, the item is damaged one additional step; if it was already suffering from major damage, it is destroyed and cannot be repaired.
• How Convenient Once per Issue, your character may use this talent to make a Hard () Mechanics check. If successful, one device involved in the current encounter (subject to your GM’s approval) spontaneously fails. This can be because of your character’s actions, or it can simply be incredibly convenient timing!

• Master Plan Once per Issue, your character may use this talent to make a Hard () Discipline check. If they succeed, they reveal that whatever terrible circumstances they currently find themselves in are all part of a brilliant plan that they established at an earlier point. They then choose one non-nemesis opponent in the encounter and reveal them to be a close friend or ally who has positioned themselves to help your character at this exact moment. The details of which character turns out to be an ally depend on the type of encounter and your GM’s approval. However, the ally could also have done their work beforehand, such as loading a squadron of drones with blank ammunition, shutting down power to a security system, or planting a tracer in an opponent’s vehicle.
