█NATURAL ABILITIES █Primary Talent ▬ Coding (Both in building programs from codes and hacking) Military or Government grade systems are very unlikely to be hackable. █Faunus Trait/Bonus Talent ▬ Poisoned sting Her tail can inject a strong poison. By no means is it instantly fatal or will invariably lead to severe/life-threatening states, but, unless her target has a counter to the poison, they will not be having a good day.

One of the things she is best at is finding information, whether in a physical format, such as books or analyzing something she sees, or in a digital one such as a data search. █Weakest Skill ▬ Physically fighting. She is small and rather weak physically. While her tail supplements this to a degree, in a head-on fight, she is not very capable Photosensitivity - Without her goggles, she's effectively blinded by any lighting above dim lighting. █Other Skills ▬ Analytics - She is good at observing a situation and processing pros and cons of it on the spot.
Natural Techie: Heavily technical things are her bread and butter, while she may not learn them instantly, she does learn them rather quickly as she has a natural aptitude for them.

█BACKGROUND ▬ Scarlet is an Orphan. She lost her father on a Grimm Hunt as he was a Huntsman by trade and her mother died of illness prior to that. But, this left her alone and shipped to an orphanage at the age of six. It was a nightmare for the young girl. There were not many faunus at the orphanage and all of them were cute in some way. Bunny ears, cat ears, squirrel tails and the like. She was the only one who broke that mold and her carapaced and jointed tail, ending in a poisonous barb made her the target of much scorn and harassment from the human orphans and even some of the staff. If a child became sick, the first reaction was often to check if she'd stung them. And no one wanted to adopt such a freakish girl.
Over the years, the constant bullying and neglect caused her to distance herself from the others, turning to the computers they kept. The staff, seeing her voluntarily separating herself from the other orphans, were all too happy to leave her to her own devices at the computers. She started off lurking in forums, learning this and that, gradually opening up as she learned that she could be anonymous there. As time passed, she began to develop an interest in the machines that allowed her to escape the tortures of her real life and she began to delve into programming and building computers. Her whole life started revolving around tech and she eventually earned enough money from offering help in coding on projects to build her own computer. From there, she began to isolate herself in the separate room assigned to her and she transitioned to spending her nights awake, lights off with only her monitor lighting the dark, windowless room, and sleeping in the day, forgoing the heavily tinted goggles she normally wore due to her photosensitivity.
As she learned more and more, her focus expanded to simply learning before she discovered cybernetics. Her normally random browsing and data searching started focusing on this fascinating field that held so much promise for merging the machines that brought her such relief and herself. Sadly, eventually, being old enough that there was no chance of adoption, she was eventually told to pack up and leave. No money, no family, no job, and no place to stay, as much as she felt she wasn't suited for it, she decided to enroll at Beacon. At least there, she could have a roof and food until she could pull her life together. And maybe...just maybe...the training could help her at least feel average in terms of physical capability and make her stronger.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Exodus █ ▬ Exoskeletal Armor. It's modular design keeps it adaptable for specializing to a task or for enhancing it with newly developed gear in the future. For now though, it is simply an alloy exoskeletal frame with a sword for the right hand and a small-caliber cannon the left. With it, she can lift up to 400 lbs and hit harder than she could otherwise. It's power source was based off old Atlas mech designs she'd found with the power source located behind her and the only part that is regularly armored, though, she can attach plates to the rest at the cost of extra weight lifting capability. Powered off, she is still mobile in it, but, her offensive capability is severely limited. █Melee Form ▬ The sword she has equipped on the left arm is roughly 7 feet long (extends from the elbow joint onward) and comes with a counter-weighted arm to make it possible to move without the suit being powered. It has a dust cartridge slot to allow the channeling of, specifically, electricity through the arm, much like a stun gun. (3 uses per cartridge) █Ranged Form ▬ The cannon can fire up to a rate of sixty rounds per minute and fires .50 caliber rounds She also has a specialized drum that can hold dust rounds which act much like explosive rounds, firing from the chamber and detonating in a three foot cloud of elemental damage on impact. █Other Form(s) ▬ (Additional Forms) █Ammo Type ▬ 20 Physical Round capacity stared in a drum mag with one refill drum on the leg █ ▬ The power source is outdated and a cobbled together mimic of the original for now, and is only really usable for about 6 posts in total, 3 if really pushed, of usage. It is an electric dust-charged motor. While it can recharge, it does so slowly, taking 3 posts to charge back up. Each cartridge of dust gives it 2 charges
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Standard 15-round clip semi-auto .45 pistol with dual attachment rails and threading for an attached silencer. █ ▬ Kinetic-charged stun baton. A lever on the handle can be squeezed 10 times to charge up a one-time electrical discharge. Charge time 1 post. The charge of this is supposed to just be enough to momentarily stun the average person, locking up their muscles for just a moment. As in 1 post duration. Key word here is Average. This is not guaranteed to work and she uses it more to make her opponent pause so she can put some distance between her and them.
Those with a resistance to electricity, nerve damage, or a highly developed pain threshold are examples of those who may be either unaffected, or have the effect mitigated from the stun baton. █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ Modified Scroll: The modifications made to it are nothing extreme or out there. She has a knack with electronics and has repeatedly disassembled her scroll and simply upgrade. Rewiring, replacing parts to optimize it, and over clocking it to function better and faster than stock. █ ▬ An analogue portable gaming system █ ▬ Goggles
█ █ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫
█*NAME ▬ Datamine █*AURA COLOR ▬ Neon Green █*DESCRIPTION Her semblance focuses on intelligence gathering, allowing her heightened senses and, eventually, direct interfacing with machines and hijacking tech or organic senses █ ▬ (General Description: In the 3 following bullets please describe how your semblance improves over levels) █*LEVEL 0 ▬ Enhanced Senses. With her Semblance, she can see in almost absolute darkness and can see up to 3 times further than the average person. In addition, her sense of smell and hearing are 5 times more sensitive. For every post she uses it, she needs to spend a post recovering up to a max of six posts. With this active, she can hear even a whisper from up to 15 feet away or pick up specific scents unique to others that most may not be able to sense.(0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ Sensory Interface. At second level, she is able to possess another organic creature's senses of sight, hearing, and smell for up to ten minutes (2 posts). Sentient beings can resist it and force her out if she attempts and she acquires the same sensitivity of that creature. Her ability does not rob her target of these senses, it is more like she taps into them and shares the input. Sentient beings WILL be able to tell if she attempts this on them. Range of activation is 50 feet, range of sustainability is up to 500 feet. Cooldown of 6 posts. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ Interface. She can now directly interface with a machine as long as she remains in constant physical contact with it. She can maintain this for up to 6 posts and requires an equivalent length of time to recover. Duration of Sensory Interface extended to (4 posts) Interface (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Tech-Override. She is able to override tech, neutral, friendly, or hostile as long as she remains within thirty feet of it. ((Post attempting may include dice roll to determine success with result in following post)) She can maintain this for up to 8 posts, needing one post per sustained post to recover. Many defense systems are divided into isolated circuits that connect to a central controlling system. She can Hijack a full circuit at once, but, she cannot control every device on it simultaneously. While she can instantaneously swap from controlling one to another (requiring a post to do so), she can only control one at a time while disabling the rest. She can also jump from a hijacked circuit to another system outside of that Circuit, but, it would need a second roll to do so. An already compromised system can be jumped back into without a reroll provided she jumped from it to another system and back during the same 8-post period. Sensory Interface duration extended to (6 posts) (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Her semblance requires her to be fairly close to tech to affect it and, while using Sensory Interface, she is vulnerable as she does not retain her own of these three senses while overriding her target's. She is also limited to the sensory sensitivity of the target. She must start within visual range of her target or must know then very well to start the override. She does retain her own sense of touch however. To override Tech requires great focus, meaning she cannot attack or strategize while overriding and maintaining, to the point of transitioning machines into new areas is not very feasible.
She can only receive information in this manner, information that she may not have the ability to use. Her brain is not a super computer and does not process things as fast as one. She is also limited to a human memory. She is also limited in understanding based on the information she has. She cannot auto-decode things she does not know the systems to, such as cyphers or coding systems she is unfamiliar with, which would likely be military, rebel, government, or newly developed systems. No tech-based ability is instantaneous aside from simply interfacing with them, but, if the system is protected, she will still need to hack it, which takes time. The entire premise of this is her nervous system functions differently due to her semblance. Data is a sting of electrical impulses sent through a conductor to a system designed to process the information. Her nerves are these conductors and her brain is capable of processing the electrical impulses into something coherent to her. Furthermore, her own senses are biologically prioritized when she interacts with machines. So, excessive input will disrupt her abilities. Physical shock from an attack, excessive noise, something that strongly affects her sense of smell, etc. She can still function, however, for two posts, she is sluggish and disoriented. Removing her goggles is crippling in lighted environments as her photosensitivity leaves her blinded in more than dim lighting.
The difference between Tech-Override and Interface is Override lets her control the system whereas interface allows her to view the system. She can process the information as though she is looking at a monitor, but, Override takes it a step further allowing her to essentially hijack the system to control it.
If we cannot determine effectiveness of her attempts to hijack a system through discussion, I am willing to do Dice v Dice against another player to decide the outcome, or, essentially a skill check set by crew for a system on a mission.
If no set system is settled on, I will roll 1D20. Below will be default difficulty scales.
►►►VS Average or below skill Personal or Basic commercial (The average Joe dabbling in setting up their own systems without advanced formal education or individual shop tier business systems) Result of above 5 = Success
►►►VS Educated individual to Mid-Tier Business (Someone who is trained and educated in the design of the system or a local non-corporate significant office/warehouse) Result of above 10 = Success
►►►VS Higher-tier Business or non-critical government grade systems (Regional, District, or Headquarters sites or immediate Access Government systems such as Police, Mail, or other Public Services, this also extends to Private Security systems for individuals in government, such as one's personal laptop, but not something that would be kept secure on site in a government facility) Result of above 15 = Success
Military-Grade or Critical Government Systems are beyond her capability and anything infused with an Aura must have the Aura dispersed before she can even have a chance to succeed

It has a sword for the right hand and a .50 caliber rotating cannon the left. With it, she can lift up to 400 lbs and hit harder than she could otherwise. Self-contained armored power supply located on the back. Powered off, she is still mobile in it, but, her offensive capability is severely limited. Recent Additions: Medium Alloy plating and an Enclosed Cockpit (Stock components from Manufacturer upon replacement of original suit). Modifications:Integrated subdermal anti-personnel defense grid. A wired grid underneath the plating that, when activated, discharges an electrical pulse to electrocute organisms and opponents in direct contact with her suit. The interior is insulated to protect the operator and machine components inside. (3 uses) This portion, while started, is not yet functional, only the insulation portion is complete. The gun arm also comes equipped with a flamethrower powered by Dust. (5 use protected canister) Range of the Flamethrower is 10 feet with a max spread of 3 feet. 1 post = 1 use.

Whether that bodes good or ill for you is something we will see in our time together. While I usually have a knack for flair, i'll keep this much simple. I'll list any questions or concerns I have below on what needs to be done before we can get you approved, but i'll be free to contact on less... visible areas.
Judgement:
Archetype:
1. Add a 5 post cooldown to her poisoned sting faunus trait.
Inventory:
2. Move flamethrower into other form section rather than just description. When you say 3 feet spread do you mean just how wide it is? 3. For the explosive dust round, it would only be 1 foot cloud explosives (if small dust) and 10 foot clouds if large dust. And bear in mind with dust, it only affects individual ammunition rather than a full clip. So if you were to use 5 dust on that clip, it'd only be 5 bullets with the elemental effect.
∰-Conclusion
This is all I currently see the need to change/ be clarified for now. This does not mean it shall be the end of it, as more questions may arise as we progress and I may have missed something. I am willing to be flexible on some thing if given good reason to, and i'll be open for any discussion you have or if you need any help with this. Thank you for your taking the time to go through this, and I will post another judgement if necessary once we've gone through all this. Hopefully this will be the only judgement needed, and you can fully begin your adventure in beacon...whether pleasant or otherwise. Feel free to contact me at any point... just send a message with the crows. ✘ Status: Inquiring ▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄

█NATURAL ABILITIES █Primary Talent ▬ Coding (Both in building programs from codes and hacking) Military or Government grade systems are very unlikely to be hackable. █Faunus Trait/Bonus Talent ▬ Poisoned sting Her tail can inject a strong poison. By no means is it instantly fatal or will invariably lead to severe/life-threatening states, but, unless her target has a counter to the poison, they will not be having a good day. Symptoms include extreme pain at the injection site and swelling, headaches, nausea, vomiting, cramps, and convulsions.. 2 posts for activation, 5 posts to leave system. 1:5 cooldown (IMPORTANT NOTE: If this is used on another player, I will discuss how severe the symptoms would be with the player before deciding) Furthermore, she is a Death Stalker kind of Scorpion and is immune to her own toxin. █Other Talents ▬ Tinkering, she is quite adept at building mechanical things and refitting them. Intelligence - Widget has a remarkable capacity for understanding complex topics, retaining information, and learning. There are certainly others more capable than her, but, she finds it much easier to learn, understand, and recall things than your average person. █LEARNT ABILITIES █Strongest Skill ▬ Intelligence Gathering. One of the things she is best at is finding information, whether in a physical format, such as books or analyzing something she sees, or in a digital one such as a data search. █Weakest Skill ▬ Physically fighting. She is small and rather weak physically. While her tail supplements this to a degree, in a head-on fight, she is not very capable Photosensitivity - Without her goggles, she's effectively blinded by any lighting above dim lighting. █Other Skills ▬ Analytics - She is good at observing a situation and processing pros and cons of it on the spot.
Natural Techie: Heavily technical things are her bread and butter, while she may not learn them instantly, she does learn them rather quickly as she has a natural aptitude for them.
Walking Encyclopedia: While she may not know everything, she does often surprise others with random bits of information she's learned and retained. █LIKES █ ▬ Playing video games, and working on her own █ ▬ People?! Umm...maybe the ones she joins in games? And doesn't need to talk to? █ ▬ Junk Food and Energy Drinks █ ▬ Her modified Scroll █ ▬ Anything small and fluffy █DISLIKES █ ▬ People (As in she's nervous around them) █ ▬ Sour foods █ ▬ Broken Tech █ ▬ Bugs █ ▬ Being Judged about her tail or her (self-proclaimed) ineptitude at pretty much any physical task. █ ▬ Being Associated with Deathstalkers (Grimm) █PERSONALITY TRAITS █Nature ▬ Incredibly introverted and a bit skittish. █Vernacular ▬ She tends to speak quietly and with few words, but, if you manage to get her going, she can lose track and speak in a vocabulary that is discernibly higher than that used in casual conversation. █Positive Traits ▬ She is ultimately caring and incredibly intelligent, and, despite her anxiety, she's determined. █Negative Traits ▬ Socially, she's a total mess. She is nervous around others and fears judgement.

█BACKGROUND ▬ Scarlet is an Orphan. She lost her father on a Grimm Hunt as he was a Huntsman by trade and her mother died of illness prior to that. But, this left her alone and shipped to an orphanage at the age of six. It was a nightmare for the young girl. There were not many faunus at the orphanage and all of them were cute in some way. Bunny ears, cat ears, squirrel tails and the like. She was the only one who broke that mold and her carapaced and jointed tail, ending in a poisonous barb made her the target of much scorn and harassment from the human orphans and even some of the staff. If a child became sick, the first reaction was often to check if she'd stung them. And no one wanted to adopt such a freakish girl.
Over the years, the constant bullying and neglect caused her to distance herself from the others, turning to the computers they kept. The staff, seeing her voluntarily separating herself from the other orphans, were all too happy to leave her to her own devices at the computers. She started off lurking in forums, learning this and that, gradually opening up as she learned that she could be anonymous there. As time passed, she began to develop an interest in the machines that allowed her to escape the tortures of her real life and she began to delve into programming and building computers. Her whole life started revolving around tech and she eventually earned enough money from offering help in coding on projects to build her own computer. From there, she began to isolate herself in the separate room assigned to her and she transitioned to spending her nights awake, lights off with only her monitor lighting the dark, windowless room, and sleeping in the day, forgoing the heavily tinted goggles she normally wore due to her photosensitivity.
As she learned more and more, her focus expanded to simply learning before she discovered cybernetics. Her normally random browsing and data searching started focusing on this fascinating field that held so much promise for merging the machines that brought her such relief and herself. Sadly, eventually, being old enough that there was no chance of adoption, she was eventually told to pack up and leave. No money, no family, no job, and no place to stay, as much as she felt she wasn't suited for it, she decided to enroll at Beacon. At least there, she could have a roof and food until she could pull her life together. And maybe...just maybe...the training could help her at least feel average in terms of physical capability and make her stronger.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Exodus MKII █ ▬ Exoskeletal Armor. It's modular design keeps it adaptable for specializing to a task or for enhancing it with newly developed gear in the future. It has a sword for the right hand and a .50 caliber rotating cannon the left. With it, she can lift up to 400 lbs and hit harder than she could otherwise. Self-contained armored power supply located on the back. Powered off, she is still mobile in it, but, her offensive capability is severely limited. Recent Additions: Medium Alloy plating and an Enclosed Cockpit (Stock components from Manufacturer upon replacement of original suit). Modifications:Integrated subdermal anti-personnel defense grid. A wired grid underneath the plating that, when activated, discharges an electrical pulse to electrocute organisms and opponents in direct contact with her suit. The interior is insulated to protect the operator and machine components inside. (3 uses) This portion, while started, is not yet functional, only the insulation portion is complete. The gun arm also comes equipped with a flamethrower powered by Dust. (5 use protected canister) Range of the Flamethrower is 10 feet with a max spread of 3 feet. 1 post = 1 use. Due to the specific compounds involved other than simply Dust in this weapon's munition system, the canister is rather large, meaning she can only really bring the one loaded in along as it would take machinery to load in another. █Melee Form ▬ The sword she has equipped on the left arm is roughly 7 feet long (extends from the elbow joint onward) and comes with a counter-weighted arm to make it possible to move without the suit being powered. It has a dust cartridge slot to allow the channeling of, specifically, electricity through the arm, much like a stun gun. (3 uses per cartridge) █Ranged Form ▬ The cannon can fire up to a rate of sixty rounds per minute and fires .50 caliber rounds She also has a specialized drum that can hold dust rounds which act much like explosive rounds, firing from the chamber and detonating in a one foot cloud of elemental damage on impact. █Other Form(s) ▬ Flamethrower █Ammo Type ▬ 20 Physical Round capacity stored in a drum mag with one refill drum on each leg █ ▬ The power source is outdated and a cobbled together mimic of the original for now, and is only really usable for about 6 posts in total, 3 if really pushed, of usage. It is an electric dust-charged motor. While it can recharge, it does so slowly, taking 3 posts to charge back up. Each cartridge of dust gives it 2 charges
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Standard 15-round clip semi-auto .45 pistol with dual attachment rails and threading for an attached silencer. █ ▬ Kinetic-charged stun baton. A lever on the handle can be squeezed 10 times to charge up a one-time electrical discharge. Charge time 1 post. The charge of this is supposed to just be enough to momentarily stun the average person, locking up their muscles for just a moment. As in 1 post duration. Key word here is Average. This is not guaranteed to work and she uses it more to make her opponent pause so she can put some distance between her and them.
Those with a resistance to electricity, nerve damage, or a highly developed pain threshold are examples of those who may be either unaffected, or have the effect mitigated from the stun baton. █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ Modified Scroll: The modifications made to it are nothing extreme or out there. She has a knack with electronics and has repeatedly disassembled her scroll and simply upgrade. Rewiring, replacing parts to optimize it, and over clocking it to function better and faster than stock. █ ▬ An analogue portable gaming system █ ▬ Goggles

█*NAME ▬ Datamine █*AURA COLOR ▬ Neon Green █*DESCRIPTION Her semblance focuses on intelligence gathering, allowing her heightened senses and, eventually, direct interfacing with machines and hijacking tech or organic senses █ ▬ (General Description: In the 3 following bullets please describe how your semblance improves over levels) █*LEVEL 0 ▬ Enhanced Senses. With her Semblance, she can see in almost absolute darkness and can see up to 3 times further than the average person. In addition, her sense of smell and hearing are 5 times more sensitive. For every post she uses it, she needs to spend a post recovering up to a max of six posts. With this active, she can hear even a whisper from up to 15 feet away or pick up specific scents unique to others that most may not be able to sense.(0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ Sensory Interface. At second level, she is able to possess another organic creature's senses of sight, hearing, and smell for up to ten minutes (2 posts). Sentient beings can resist it and force her out if she attempts and she acquires the same sensitivity of that creature. Her ability does not rob her target of these senses, it is more like she taps into them and shares the input. Sentient beings WILL be able to tell if she attempts this on them. Range of activation is 50 feet, range of sustainability is up to 500 feet. Cooldown of 6 posts. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ Interface. She can now directly interface with a machine as long as she remains in constant physical contact with it. She can maintain this for up to 6 posts and requires an equivalent length of time to recover. Duration of Sensory Interface extended to (4 posts) Interface (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Tech-Override. She is able to override tech, neutral, friendly, or hostile as long as she remains within thirty feet of it. ((Post attempting may include dice roll to determine success with result in following post)) She can maintain this for up to 8 posts, needing one post per sustained post to recover. Many defense systems are divided into isolated circuits that connect to a central controlling system. She can Hijack a full circuit at once, but, she cannot control every device on it simultaneously. While she can instantaneously swap from controlling one to another (requiring a post to do so), she can only control one at a time while disabling the rest. She can also jump from a hijacked circuit to another system outside of that Circuit, but, it would need a second roll to do so. An already compromised system can be jumped back into without a reroll provided she jumped from it to another system and back during the same 8-post period. Sensory Interface duration extended to (6 posts) (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Her semblance requires her to be fairly close to tech to affect it and, while using Sensory Interface, she is vulnerable as she does not retain her own of these three senses while overriding her target's. She is also limited to the sensory sensitivity of the target. She must start within visual range of her target or must know then very well to start the override. She does retain her own sense of touch however. To override Tech requires great focus, meaning she cannot attack or strategize while overriding and maintaining, to the point of transitioning machines into new areas is not very feasible.
She can only receive information in this manner, information that she may not have the ability to use. Her brain is not a super computer and does not process things as fast as one. She is also limited to a human memory. She is also limited in understanding based on the information she has. She cannot auto-decode things she does not know the systems to, such as cyphers or coding systems she is unfamiliar with, which would likely be military, rebel, government, or newly developed systems. No tech-based ability is instantaneous aside from simply interfacing with them, but, if the system is protected, she will still need to hack it, which takes time. The entire premise of this is her nervous system functions differently due to her semblance. Data is a sting of electrical impulses sent through a conductor to a system designed to process the information. Her nerves are these conductors and her brain is capable of processing the electrical impulses into something coherent to her. Furthermore, her own senses are biologically prioritized when she interacts with machines. So, excessive input will disrupt her abilities. Physical shock from an attack, excessive noise, something that strongly affects her sense of smell, etc. She can still function, however, for two posts, she is sluggish and disoriented. Removing her goggles is crippling in lighted environments as her photosensitivity leaves her blinded in more than dim lighting.
The difference between Tech-Override and Interface is Override lets her control the system whereas interface allows her to view the system. She can process the information as though she is looking at a monitor, but, Override takes it a step further allowing her to essentially hijack the system to control it.
If we cannot determine effectiveness of her attempts to hijack a system through discussion, I am willing to do Dice v Dice against another player to decide the outcome, or, essentially a skill check set by crew for a system on a mission.
If no set system is settled on, I will roll 1D20. Below will be default difficulty scales.
►►►VS Average or below skill Personal or Basic commercial (The average Joe dabbling in setting up their own systems without advanced formal education or individual shop tier business systems) Result of above 5 = Success
►►►VS Educated individual to Mid-Tier Business (Someone who is trained and educated in the design of the system or a local non-corporate significant office/warehouse) Result of above 10 = Success
►►►VS Higher-tier Business or non-critical government grade systems (Regional, District, or Headquarters sites or immediate Access Government systems such as Police, Mail, or other Public Services, this also extends to Private Security systems for individuals in government, such as one's personal laptop, but not something that would be kept secure on site in a government facility) Result of above 15 = Success
Military-Grade or Critical Government Systems are beyond her capability and anything infused with an Aura must have the Aura dispersed before she can even have a chance to succeed
