Editing KHoS:Valeria (section)

==First Adventure: Experimental Designs==

When she was still in training, Valeria continued field-testing Kleinberg designs when she could, getting in some additional training, helping out the family, and using the data to improve Hekatonkheir all at the same time. Valeria is usually carrying one or more of these designs at all times, even now, as well as some more personal experiments. Being prototypes, they have a tendency to fail, break, or, worse, complicate the situation. She usually, also, cribs anything she finds useful to apply it to her own ends.

For instance, one of the things that she tested was a system for ensuring that one's weapon never got disarmed. In true Valeria fashion, she applied that piece of technology...to her hat.

So how is it that her hat stays on, even though she is often found flying through the air on the aftershocks of her own explosions?

''Magnets.''

Invoke for: Having a useful piece of experimental technology on hand.

Compel to: Said technology going haywire, as prototypes do.
