Perfect Tracker "Everyone has their own scent."
Ally can spend a moment to memorize someone's scent. With it, she can follow them anywhere on this world. Even on the wind she can smell their sweat, their panic.
However, scrubbing their body with soap and water is enough to remove the oils that permeate the air, and shake Ally's tracking.
Spend an Action. Select a Animate target within arm's reach.
Your target is marked with skin oils. The mark can be easily removed if it is discovered.
You are aware of the marked target's vital status, injuries, direction and distance from you. This lasts for the next month, or until either the mark is removed, or you choose to end the Effect. You can have up to 3 marks active.
Marked targets leave a trail wherever they go that is visible only to you and those you teach to see it. This trail shows how long ago the target was there and is followable even when they are in a vehicle.
This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 2.
This Effect ends if you are stunned, fall asleep, go unconscious, are incapacitated, die, or if your total Stress ever exceeds 5.

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.

First Kiss with the Sizzling Succubus!!
Hooked.
With so much viable prey around, how's a girl to keep track of the ones she really wants? Smudging a little bit of your makeup onto them to mark your territory is probably a good start.
(You don't actually have to kiss the target. Sometimes that's weird. You can just smear this mark onto their collar with your thumb if you want.)

Mark of the Beast
I see you...and your little organs, too!
Drop the tooth into your mark's pocket, purse, cleavage, or butt crack...anywhere a tooth will fit! Bump and run or a surreptitious drop work well. If you are feeling fancy, you can toss it, too!

Vital Tracking
I will be watching.
This is a small rivet gun implement, that injects a small Ceramic Stud into the targets spine, painlessly of course. relaying location and vitals to Devices small screen. It looks like a pail pink disk pressed against the skin.
The Screen on the Artifact shows the direction and distance to all Targets, well those targets gain a gut feeling as to where the artifact is.
The Trail is a visible Red ribbon of light left floating in the air from where the Mark target Heart or center of mass is. Marked targets are able to be "switch on" to allow them to see the trails, Cheslav having a permanent implant allowing this.

Silent Requiem
Time is the perfect mechanism—let me adjust yours.
When activated, Verso’s eyes flicker gold as he murmurs ticking rhythms, A holographic interface of spinning blueprints and stress diagrams hovers above his wrist, visible only to him. The process emits a faint harmonic hum and the smell of ozone, while sparks cascade like dying fireflies.
Silent Requiem isn’t magic—it’s temporal engineering.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend 1 minute.
Choose an Object which could fit inside a regular backpack (up to 27 liters). It must be Non-Alien and generic. You cannot create explosives. You cannot create firearms.
Roll Intellect + Crafts to fabricate up to 5 copies of your chosen Object. The Difficulty is assigned by the GM and depends on the specificity of your chosen Object. The created item lasts 2 hours.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see The air rippling faintly, as if reality itself were a pond disturbed by invisible gears. Semi-transparent clockwork sigils materialize before transforming into a screaming human bodies before dissolving into static..
- When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
- The Difficulty for the fabrication roll increases based on specificity. Something like a "shirt" would be Difficulty 5, whereas "Police uniform" would be Difficulty 9. The Outcome determines overall quality and how well the item fits the request.
- You can fabricate a container of something so long as it contains a single type of thing (such as a tank of water) or it is designed to be packaged together (such as a first aid kit).
- If you are able to activate this Effect as a Reaction, its roll contests the incoming Attack.

Unfinished Business
Once the werewolf tastes the blood of their prey, there's no escape. Those injured by the beast's claws and teeth are marked with its saliva. Their wounds smell strongly of blood, and it's only a matter of time before the werewolf returns with a vengeance to finish the kill.
