Tail
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.
The tail will mount a Perception Challenge (PC) of:
set(PC)= 8+R(this)+M(Stealth)
If the target has a reason to believe they are under surveilance, they can attempt to detect the tail through a Robotics aspected Perception check, namely:
counter-surveilpsv(counter-surveillance,PC) = 10 + R(Robotics) + M(Perception)
Or, if they have ranks in Surveillance...
counter-surveilpsv(counter-surveillance,PC) = 10 + R(Robotics) + R(Surveillance) + M(Perception)
However, if they suspect that they are being tailed, they are more likely to employ a search schema (such as 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.
