Dissertation Progress
"Towards a Benign Dispersal and Delivery Mechanism for Anti- and Countertoxin Agents"
Moves
Thesis (Core)
Once per routine, if you give up on something the rest of the team is doing to work on your Dissertation, mark 1 Stress and tally 1 for Dissertation Progress. When you present your thesis, roll 2d10+Progress. On a 16+, you may choose to retire to academia as your Destiny. Your comrades can all use your Skills for rolls, providing they can contact you. Otherwise, erase all your Dissertation progress.
Know It All
When you offer an explanation, speak it and roll +Keen. On a 16+, it’s true. On a 11-15, you’re mostly right: pick another player to tell the rest of the story. The team takes +2 forward if they use this information. On a miss, you’re very wrong.
Curiosity (Intimacy)
When you put aside your work for somebody, each of you asks another a personal question. You do not need to answer, or answer honestly, but each question answered honestly gives everyone 1 XP. Nobody can be asked more than one question.
If you use this move in the air, anyone who is honest gets +1 XP.
Slipstream Mastery
[ ] [ ] [ ]
Victories: Aircraft shot down, crashed, or lured to their destruction.
Passive: Each move taken past the first adds +2 Hits (for the purposes of Crits only) when you Open Fire.
Slippery Customer
You may roll Dogfight to escape any aircraft attacking you before you Take Fire, even if you would normally just Take Fire, so long as you aren’t rolling two Dogfights in a row.
