The injector plunges in. Rapid onset fever, elevated heart-rate, some hyperventilation. It settles, typically. The retrovirus isn't perfect. But for the moment, it's good enough. The outcome is striking. Skin or fur blotches, growing patterns that settle into something resembling the background. A formless shape. With an act of will, it can change. Thickened padding, making one silent, or modified sweat glands, eliminating your scent.
It doesn't last forever - not this revision, at least. The body doesn't like it, fights it. Takes it about a half hour to win, on average. But for that time, you're pretty hard to spot.
Exert your Mind and spend one minute.

Lasts 1 minute. Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is doubled.
If your last Action was used for an all-out sprint or you are already accelerated, you may spend an Action to accelerate without a roll, adding 100 feet/Round (not affected by your speed bonus) to your sprint speed, to a max of an extra 300 feet/Round. As long as you stay at these speeds, you may use this distance per Round as your Free Movement.
Any terrain you traverse while accelerated must be passable by a standard vehicle at similar speeds. Stopping, turning sharply, or decelerating more than 100 feet/Round must be performed as an Action. Failing to decelerate with an Action (whether because of an obstacle, sudden unfavorable terrain, an Injury, or other event) counts as a tumble or catastrophic vehicle collision as per the vehicle rules.
If you perform an all-out Sprint while this Effect is active, all attacks targeting you suffer -3 dice for the next Round.

Even if there are no faye within 50 feet of you, you become aware of the direction the closest one is in, as well as a rough sense of its distance from you.
All faye who you can sense are equally able to sense you.

You may end this Effect prematurely as a Free Action.
The werewolf unleashes their inner beast, transforming into an imposing hybrid of human and wolf. Their head reforms into that of a wolf, robbing them of speech but bestowing a maw of deadly fangs.

Summon a single Sapient goon at your location. They last for two hours or until they are destroyed. They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. You may have at most one minion active at a time.
