Tail
Industry: Robotics
Usage: conjugate(main-act, R, 1fp)
-> 1(tg), 100(range) -> set(PC)=12 +M(Stealth) + R*
-> eff= audio and visual information, perm until destroyed or dismissed
Aspect-Usage: provenance -> Tech
Description: You can target any creature within 100 metres and assign them the tail. The tail’s job is to simply follow the target and regularly report their location and doings back to you. The tail is a small AI that augments your Surveillance-Tools (when using this conjugate, you are considered qualified in these tools), it can construct comms bots to relay information back to you through any channel it can find. The tail remains until you dismiss it, or it is detected and neutralised.
If the target of the Tail suspects that they are being tailed, they may employ a search schema (such as through Botnet Detection). For either the operational attack roll of the schema or a conjugate attack roll from the equivalent conjugate, they would need to hit your conjugate’s CC-S to detect, and then open a channel to your tail, using Bypass (Robotics). At their option, they can then attempt to modify (dismiss) your tail, or otherwise modify it and feed you false information.
