· Extension of Awareness: This technique allows the Clairsentient to extend his or her awareness and sense of self into any formatted bioapp. To an extent all formatted bioapps become extensions of the Psion users, but this power intensifies that linkage, making the item truly seem a part of the Clear for the duration of the powers effect. The Clear will feel the items functions as surely and as precisely as he can feel his heart beat and his lungs fill with air. In the case of a bioweapon, he will be intimately aware of any potential problems, of overheating or material stress, even feeling a dearth of physical ammunition or battery life as a form of hunger. In the case of a biofighter, the effect will be far more profound as she sees through the vehicles sensory modalities and can can control the variable geometry configuration of the wings as intimately and immediately as a child can feel the changes of air pressure and wind resistance and so alter his the angle of his hand dangling out the window of a moving automobile.

System: Spend a Psi point and roll Psi to 'link' oneself with any piece of Bioware touched, even if that item is already formatted to someone else. If used upon a formatted Bioapp, the effect is similar to as if it were Assimilated for that scene only, allowing the Clear to utilize Psi in the place of the relevant Attribute (usually Dexterity or Intelligence) in attempts to utilize, diagnose, repair, destroy or even locate the item! Unfortunately, during the scene, an attack upon the item that causes damage will pain and traumatize the Psion, imposing a +1 to the Difficulty of all actions while the item is so linked to the Psion (in other words, for the rest of the scene or until the item is somehow repaired) and the destruction of the item will actually cause an unsoakable lethal HT level of damage to the linked Psion for each level of Tolerance of the item. If this power is used upon an unformatted Bioapp, it simply allows the Clear to use it as if it were formatted for the duration, but causes no intimate connection or penalty. In either case, the power cannot be maintained if the item, for some reason, leaves the Attunement range of the Psion.

The abnormally intense linkage tends to create obsession with the item on the part of the Psion and she must roll Willpower to maintain enough presence of mind to actually loan it someone else or significantly risk or sacrifice the bioapp. This does not occur in the case of linking to an unformatted Bioapp, although temporary Tolerance Overload could well be worse…
