(1/mission)

When everything goes wrong and you stop holding back, declare Meltdown. For one scene, all your blasts deal +2 harm, you cannot be stopped by physical barriers, and you take -1 ongoing on all rolls except Surge. When the scene ends, take 2 harm.

When you have time to line up a shot without being detected, your blast has effectively unlimited range and deals 3 harm. The shot is always a surprise. Roll +Agility to stay hidden afterward.

• 10+: The right people see it.
• 7–9: People see it. Not all of them are the right ones.

Your blasts have physical force as well as energy. When you hit a target, choose: deal the standard energy harm, OR push them 20ft in any direction and deal 1 harm.

(1/mission)

Charge a tech device, a vehicle, a weapon, a power system, with your own output. The device runs at full capacity for the scene regardless of its fuel or charge state.
