Mind/Machine interface Hello, Doctor. We have been trying to reach you...

2
You possess superhuman wits and insight.
Used by Dr. Theodore "Laz" Lazcowicz, Created by EvilRicktator.
( Your Nanocomposite Organic Translation Bus must be used or obviously visible while you are actively benefitting from this effect.)

A Grey and Black flexible nanocomposite layer of seemingly organic circuitry has grown on Dr. Lazcowicz's back, covering the area from the C7 to T4 vertibra with a width approximately 3 inches across. When using the augmented capacities of the distributed nanite AI, subdermal circuit pathways glow blue with white points traversing them like "packets" of information. During all uses the traces between the unit along his spine to the base of his skull are visible. When using deduction, traces appear to connect this "trunk line" to his eyes, ears, and runs a faint latticework under his hair across his head. When holding actions or exerting for automatic success, lines spread to relevant limbs as well, but for all uses the area around the spinal device is brightest, shining through normal clothing.

If the device is significantly damaged, torn from his skin, or surgically removed, it will self repair or grow back over the course of a couple of months, but in the meantime the Doc will be back to his own grey matter and lose the benefits of direct communion with the AI.

Hello, Doctor. We have been trying to reach you for some time. This reckless lifestyle of yours is making our job quite difficult. Let's see if we can't work together to improve your decision making, shall we?

You gain the following benefits as long as you have your Nanocomposite Organic Translation Bus.

Your Intellect rating is increased by 1. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Intellect (Cannot be used on combat rolls or Power activations).

If you are witnessed actively using this Effect, whoever sees it can make a Perception + Alertness roll at Difficulty 6. A complete success reveals the source of your power.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Brilliant Deduction: You may spend five minutes pondering an enigma, puzzle, or mystery, and roll Intellect at Difficulty 8. Success will reveal a clue or other tidbit that you have otherwise missed. Limit once per enigma.
  • Wait For Your Moment: You may take your Action on the turn of anyone who has a lower Initiative than you. If you do, you receive +2 dice to that roll.

  • If your Nanocomposite Organic Translation Bus is damaged, destroyed, or lost, you lose all benefits from this Effect for the next two months.
  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

Within the first ruin that Russ found that contained the documents that sent him down the path that he is currently on, was the diagram for a device that is meant to connect to the spaces between the C1 to T12 vertebra. the device serves a three-fold purpose. The first being that it powers the rest of the planned augmentations to the human body through intercepting the signals that the body sends related to pain and stress. The second is that it forces the body and mind to always operate at peak performance regardless of physical or mental damage, Finally the device is the interface for future enhancements and allows those that undergo such complete transitions to maintain a sense of "humanity" or "wholeness" through sanitizing incoming and outgoing signals such that the mechanical enhancements and the fragile and erratic biological mind don't become adversarial and work together as a complete whole. Unfortunately, those who created the blueprints for this device made it far too good at its job with it attempting to prevent any signs of injury from reaching the brain, thus requiring an immense willpower to even recognize when one is beginning to bleed out. With the device even going so far as to change the information that is coming from one's own senses such that they can't even perceive the injury in themselves should it be pointed out to them. While the device is attached to the spinal column it can be removed through a delicate and time-consuming process of unlinking the parts from the body, but should one violently be ripped out of a user's body the damage could prove to be debilitating.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0.

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their mind and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Trauma: Delusion: Unbreakable (When this character receives an injury, they must roll self control to become aware of it. This character may not take actions to stabilize or heal any injury they are unaware of and must roll self-control to accept treatment of such injuries from others). If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.
