While the projection is of a 20th-century American general, Patton has extensive data on every major military mind and tactical analysis of the past three centuries. Although usually quite useful, Patton has been known to cross-reference obscure details at inconvenient times. Tech: Q,<br/>Performance: 4<br/>Applications: Administration 1, Current Events 1, Geography 3, History 4, Linguistics 3, Mathematics 3, Politics 1, Regulations 3, Tactics<br/><br/><br/>*   *   *<br/><br/>Psychokinesis:<br/>Basic Technique<br/>Temperature Control: It's hard for a psychokinetic to resist exerting his power even slightly over his surroundings.<br/>The psion adjusts the temperature of his surroundings almost ref lexively to a range that he finds comfortable or that<br/>reflects his current mood. This technique is harmless to all but the most sensitive devices, but anyone near the<br/>psychokinetic will certainly feel the temperature change.<br/>System: Roll Psi; your character can raise or lower the temperature in a small area (roughly a three-meter radius<br/>centered on him) by up to 15 °C. The adjusted temperature drops off rapidly beyond the effect's radius until it equals<br/>the ambient temperature. The change lasts as long as your character concentrates (+1 difficulty to other actions while<br/>maintaining this effect), and temperature returns to normal 10 minutes afterward.  Each extra success rolled can either<br/>add one degree Celcius to the temperature variation or extend the duration for one minute beyond the time of<br/>concentration.<br/><br/>CRYOKINESIS:  The universe may not be an orderly place, but that can always be changed. That's the philosophy<br/>behind Cryokinesis: imposing order on overactive molecules, slowing their motion, cool ing the objects they comprise.  A potent cryokinetic can lower the temperature of almost any object, even a person; either pleasantly cooling<br/>his subject — or freezing it solid.<br/><br/>• Thermal Screen: The first thing any self-respecting Legionnaire learns is how to protect himself.  By drawing in<br/>ambient heat, the psion can shield himself From the worst effects of exposure, cold damage or even from cryokinetic<br/>attacks. This effect can make the psion's immediate surroundings even colder as the psychokinetic absorbs more and<br/>more heat energy.<br/>System: Spend a Psi point and roll; each success adds one point to your character's soak against both Bashing and<br/>Lethal cold effects. The screen lasts for the rest of the scene. At 4 Cryokinesis, the Thermal Screen may be extended<br/>around your character a number of meters in radius equal to half his Psi score (rounded up).  While this power is in<br/>effect, your character's infra-red register increases drastically since he's gathering heat around himself (anyone with<br/>IR-sensing equipment who monitors your character's position gets one automatic success to pick up his signature).<br/><br/>• • Hypothenmic Blast: The psion focuses a quick blast of supercooled air at a target. The sudden freezing effect visibly frosts the air between psion and subject, and can slow the target's metabolism or even cause Frostbite.<br/>System: Spend one point and roll Psi in a resisted action against the target's Endurance. Every extra success you roll translates into one Bashing Health Level applied to the victim (this damage bypasses soak). Additionally, every two extra successes put the target at +1 difficulty to all actions for the next three turns as her limbs become numb.  If the target has Thermal Screen up, she may add its rating to her Endurance total for the resisted roll.  Your character may affect a target at a range of up to 10 times his Psi rating in meters. Upon reaching four dots in Cryokinesis, your character may affect a number of targets equal to his Psi score, simultaneously (if they're within range). Each target's roll and the results are resolved individually against your single roll.<br/><br/>• • • Flash Freeze: The psion slows the motion of free liquids, freezing them to solids in the space of seconds.  This effect can be used on such high-temperature liquids as boiling water or molten metal, although the higher the substance's current temperature the more challenging this becomes. Flash Freeze is not effective against living beings or other complex organisms.  This power may also be used for less direct effects, such as condensing and freezing surrounding water vapor (a psion could Fill his drink with ice and dehumidiFy the room at the same time).<br/>System: Spend one Psi point and roll.  The number of extra successes required to freeze a target depends on the substance and its current temperature. The chart below indicates the number of successes needed to freeze a substance with an ambient temperature between 10 "C and 40 °C. The target remains frozen until it thaws naturally back to ambient temperature (for particularly large or dense substances, this could take hours).<br/>Successes<br/>Needed   Substance<br/>One      Water<br/>Two      Alcohol<br/>Three      Oil<br/>Four       Liquid Nitrogen<br/>Five       Mercury<br/>A greater number of successes may be required for significantly hotter substances. Generally, the Storyteller may require an extra success for every additional 40 °C that a substance is above 40 "C. If you don't roll the full number of successes required, your character can still reduce the substance's temperature by an amount that the Storyteller feels is suitable.  A surface or object affected by this power suffers the effects of a drastically reduced temperature, from Frosted- or iced-over surface to brittleness to possibly permanent structural damage. Specifics are up to the Storyteller.  Your character can affect a substance that is up to his Psi score in meters radius at a range of up to five times this Mode's rating in meters (at 3 Cryokinesis, he can Flash Freeze a substance up to 15 meters away). At 4 Cryokinesis, he may Freeze a number of separate substances equal to his Psi score, simultaneously.<br/><br/>*   *   *<br/><br/>HISTORY:<br/>History:<br/>Despite his lack of psychic abilities, Major Darian Connel was a war hero who had lead both American forces and psychokinetic Legionaries against Aberrant forces on American soil.  He was thirty six the day he accepted a promotion too a primarily behind desk position, and within a few years he had a beautiful wife and a baby daughter.<br/>Though she had  her mother's looks and sense of fashion, Cassandra was her daddy's girl almost from the beginning.  She traded girl scouts for ROTC as soon as she could, and despite her unimpressive results in areas where she didn't apply herself, forced her way down the fast track to west point through sweat and sheer determination.<br/>She left herself little time for friends or love, and as such never felt particularly awkward for the pledge to remain virginal 'til marriage her preacher extracted from her.  Church was the thing to do when she wasn't training, and she was proud to do both.  What was there not to be proud of?  So she wore the virgin ring 'til she could replace it with a wedding ring.<br/>At west point, she met a girl she connected with immediately.  Joanne Johnson was much smarter than she was, but had come from a poor background and thus had to perform her way through a similar series of obstacles to Cassandra's B level academics.  Cassandra attached herself to Joanne as friend and rival, and Joanne hated every moment of it.<br/>It seemed to Joanne that she was being hounded by a condescending snob who constantly taunted her every time she fell behind and mocked her every victory.  It didn't help that she couldn't shake an attraction to the high and mighty bitch.<br/>Both girls continued on the same track throughout their careers, summoned to the Prometheus chambers to unlock their psionic abilities.  (Joanne was fire, Cassandra was ice.)<br/>Neither was sent back to the American legion but sent into space with the Phoenix legion.<br/>It seemed to Cassandra that her friends were to be found wherever she went, her father (now a major general) received command of an off earth base, and some of the people she'd known on base growing up where there to contact still.  Joanne was even on her ship.<br/>
