Moves	Casual Brain receptivity: when you read someone, roll+weird instead of roll+sharp. Your victim has to be able to see you, but you don't have to interact. 2 gigs and moonlighting fucking (2-barter/ entanglement) surveillance (1-barter/deceived) Alive in the world: when you take your bearings in a landscape or a settlement, ask 1: Where could I hide here? If I had to make a stand here, where would be best? What does this place or these people have to offer me? How could I gain access to this place’s or these people’s secrets? How could I gain the undivided attention of all present? How could I best become accepted as a part of this place or these people? What or who is the source of the most pain here? Whenever acting on the answer requires a roll, take +1. If you’d like to ask further questions, roll+sharp. On a 10+, ask 2 more. On a 7–9, ask 1 more. On a miss, ask 1 more, but you stand musing, and if time’s urgent you stand musing too long. Self Possession He has advanced the following moves: go aggro seduce or manipulate open your brain Things speak whenever you handle or examine something interesting, roll+weird. On a hit ask the MC questions. On a 10, ask 3. On a 7-9, ask 1: who handled this last before me Who made this? What strong emotions have been most recently nearby this? what words have been said most recently nearby this? what has been done most recently with this, or to this? what's wrong with this, and how might I fix it? Treat a miss as though you've opened your brain to the physic maelstrom and missed the roll. Reality's fraying edgy some component of my workspace or some arrangement of components, is uniquely receptive to the psychic maelstrom (+augury). Choose and name it or else leave it for the MC to reveal during play
Gear	Scalpels (3-harm intimate hi-tech) Violation glove (hand, hi-tech) Pain-wave projector (1-harm ap area loud reload hi-tech) Oddments worth 5-barter His workshop includes: weird-ass electronica, machining tools, and relic of the golden age past. The relic is a large, golden turnip pocket watch. As a result of augury, the watch contains a fragment of the psychic maelstrom. The fragment is persistent and stable, with no bleeding. The watch can predict gravitic vibrations from the worm hole and can help calibrate instruments. Because he wants to disguise the watch's capabilities, Cipher is building a whirlygig that he will use as a diversion.

Lives on Ring 15.

Cipher's vac suit is all kinds of Ziggy Stardust weirdness. Silvery white and glittery, with a tight corset, puffy sleeves, external nipple clamps, and a bulging codpiece.

He has a pillow that he got from Swan that has a Woot design on it. When he sleeps with the pillow, the Woot queens influence his dreams.

Current focus: Swan is holding 2 over him, one of which will be discharged when Cipher successfully plants a suggestion in Fletch's mind to take an apprentice.

Future possibilities: Every time Cipher's Moonlighting gig fucking succeeds, that's another person that he's been able to do a deep brain scan on another person. To date, he's had 3 clients

Absinthe's Secret: She's Honey's cousin and knows that it wasn't Honey that we pushed out of the airlock.
Eyeball shared a night of indescribable passion and now distrusts Cipher because she thinks she imagined it.
Swan knows that I have spoken to psychic maelstrom and have concerns about the gate. What he learns is that I have reason to believe that Doctor Oculus is trying to reopen the Gate and invite the King in Yellow on to the station. That's why I want to close the Gate permanently.

Dr. R's Secret: Cipher has talked with Mamma Woot several times and even seen her as the Triple Goddess. He thinks that the Woots are the key to the resistance that will eventually rise up and stop the Farsight Brotherhood.
