Operate TSD-01
From SSDC, Inc.
Skill Description
The interface system for the TSD-01 is very user-friendly. Most operators take only a few weeks before they are familiar with the system. Intuition as the primary statistic represents the need to “get the feel for the system,” more than learn any particular do’s and do not’s. This is also reflected in the inability of any operator to really teach the skill to anyone else. The new operator must simply use the system frequently before gaining competence.
Every skill level gained grants the operator a +4%, which works to offset any penalties to skill checks involved in operation. This does not affect straight sensory checks. Furthermore, the skill works only to offset the penalties— never may a user gain any bonus to skills through the TSD (with the exception of a skill bonus from a higher strength).
The lack of a cost for each level reflects the fact that there is no school for this skill. If you are learning it, you either own the unit, or work for someone who does. If they charge you to learn its operation, you’re getting screwed. This is the same reason for the asterisks under Job Availability and Business Contacts. The system is illegal; therefore, few people place want ads for operators. If any Skill Chips exist, Tri-Tech is keeping them a secret.
