Motoha has spent so long in her room learning coding, that her ability to hack has manifested within neo-genis itself.
At her beckoning a green hologram of a keyboard will manifest itself, allowing her to begin to execute complex commands using it on the target.
Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions. Select a Device within 300 feet. Can be used on Alien technology. Roll Intellect + Technology, with the Difficulty set by the GM depending on the security of the system you are hacking. Sapient targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you may issue a single command to the targeted system. This command must have a specific outcome or be a request for specific login credentials. The command you issue must be within the machine's current capabilities. For example, you cannot order a standard security camera to grow legs and walk around.
If your command does not require bypassing the security of the target (for example, typing on a computer that is unlocked), you do not need to Exert your Mind to activate this Effect, and activation only takes a single Action.
When targeting non-computer devices, you may operate switches, buttons, dials, levers, and latches.
Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Anti-Social.
Maybe the enemy isn't yet convinced that you're a substantial threat, or maybe karmatic forces are honoring your commitment to the Golden Rule. Either way, you somehow fare better than the average person when navigating dangerous situations.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You have 3 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack. This Armor cannot be circumvented with Called Shots.
Your Armor’s rating is increased by 2. If you Attack, Clash, or initiate a Contested roll, your Armor’s rating is decreased by 3 for one minute. This penalty does not stack with itself.
The user opens the leather journal and points at the creature as their species and location becomes written on the journal along with the current time and a ??? indicating when the possession will end, when it's finished being written the shadow of the user and the creature will merge to create a patch of darkness that slowly becomes material and begins restraining the creature with fully physical tendrils. These tendrils bind the creature to the ground as the user is pushed into a fit of vomiting out blackish slime and blood. As more of the substance leaves the body the more the user becomes lethargic until the point of unconsciousness. The substance then merges into one full blob and enters the creature's body through their mouth at which point they're fully taken over by the user.
Spend an Action to activate. Select a Creature target within 20 feet. You must actively and obviously use A leather journal to activate this Effect.
You possess your target and have control over their actions for the next hour. Your original body will be left behind, unconscious, in its same location. You may spend a Committed Action to end the possession early.
Stats: Any actions you take will use the possessed creature’s Brawn, Dexterity, and Perception, but use your own Charisma, Intellect, and Abilities.
Gifts: You do not have access to any Gifts while you are possessing your target.
Death: If the host becomes incapacitated or is destroyed, you are forcibly evicted back into your own body. If the possession ends and your original body was killed or destroyed in some way, you will die.
Eviction: You cannot force your host to take actions which would violate their instinct for self-preservation (which includes engaging in Combat for any purpose other than self-defense or natural hunting); any attempt to do so will sever the connection and send you back into your own body. If you are forced out of the target's body prematurely, you must make a Trauma roll.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see you forcefully restraining a creature with inky black tendrils, vomiting out your own slimy spirit out and inserting it into the creature.

Standing at a safe distance, with a clear line of sight to the sky and the location he’s targeting, Ethan Storm prepares to unleash his unique ability. His eyes fix on a point in the open field, 60 feet away. The air around him grows tense, charged with anticipation.
Ethan extends his arms, not towards the tornado, but outward, as if to embrace the vast expanse of the sky. His concentration is laser-focused, and the atmosphere responds to his silent call. Above the chosen location, the clouds begin to swirl menacingly, converging into a spiraling mass.
With a subtle movement of his hand and a deep exertion of his mind, Ethan commands the elements. A hemispherical dome of a tornado bursts into existence, its radius encompassing the 60-foot area he envisioned. The tornado is a whirlwind of debris and force, yet Ethan stands outside its reach, a master orchestrating a symphony of nature’s fury.
