Relentless Survival Protocol "Mind Damage"? Well, of course I do!
As long as you give it time to adapt, the robotic equivalent to the human brain is a lot less affected by attacks on your cerebral capabilities and can act in an emergency where a person would've succumbed to their wounds. But tapping into this kind of strength leaves you a bit more vulnerable for a bit of time.
[Brain Overload (Exerting your Mind causes you to take a -1 dice penalty to all subsequent non-physical Actions for the next 15 minutes.)]
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is divided in half.
While Incapacitated, you may Exert your Mind to take a single action.
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Brain Overload.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Yidi's First Brew
Bottoms up!
The user take's the Flask and drinks as much as they can muster. but with it's staggering 95% alcohol content not many can drink that much
Chinese legend says that Yidi, the god of wine and alcohol, helped the Emperor's daughter to make a special gift for her father. Yidi created a spicy, strong beverage from fermented grapes – wine. At first, the Emperor thought that the drink was much too powerful and strong, so Yidi spent years experimenting until he created something delicious, which is the wine that we know and love today.
