Microphage Antidote

(a.k.a Press Conference, 3-day Pass, Leave, etc.)


***** Life ** Prime (**** Time)

Even members of the Corps and other psychic vampires need some time off, from time to time, to maintain a degree of balance and sanity in their lives. This antidote to the microphage, administered in small doses, rewrites the subcellular programming, allowing for short liasons into the normal "civilianized" world without causing undue alarm.

The noted microphage and Psychic vampirism are, at their core, a low-intensity, localized varient of the "Good Little Death" that has been made a permanent part of a person's core pattern. Using Life to temporarily rewrite the basic cellular structure, the dynamic pattern, and kirlian potential neutralizes the life-destroying "Good Little Death" of psychic vampirism, normal or induced, producing a precariously balanced life-force pattern.

Time, when used, sets the effect to a known duration, preventing the thaumivorism associated associated with changes in the body that have not been fully incorporated into the quintessential pattern of the recipient. (Until XP's are spent to buy off the flaw, the cure is not going to be permanent!)


Base difficulty: 8 coincidental (Who really understands medicine?)
Min: 2+ succ (for Temp cure)
5 successes (+ sufficient xp to buy off flaw) for permanent cure

Focus: Hypodermic, Spray-Hypo, or crystals
