The less brilliant of these AIs could be contained in hardware no larger than five or six centimeters on a side, usually with integral sensors and vocalization units. If an AI companion takes a liking to a PC, they can be useful allies; they all have effective Program and Fix skills at level 3 or greater, and may have additional capabilities.

Training is not always required to develop this ability, and their MES is so mild that they don’t suffer the risk of madness or brain damage that more developed psychics risk should they use their powers without proper training.\nWild talents are not treated as psychics for general purposes and cannot “torch” their powers. When relevant, they are treated as having one point of Effort. Psychics and Partial Psychics cannot take this focus.\nLevel 1: Pick a psychic discipline. You gain an ability equivalent to the level-0 core power of that discipline. Optionally, you may instead pick a level-1 technique from that discipline, but that technique must stand alone; you can’t pick one that augments another technique or core ability. For example, you could pick the Telekinetic Armory technique from Telekinesis, because that ability does not require the use of any other Telekinesis power. You could not pick the Mastered Succor ability from Biopsionics, because that technique is meant to augment another power you don’t have.\nLevel 2: You now have a maximum Effort of two points. You may pick a second ability according to the guidelines above. This second does not need to be a stand-alone technique if it augments the power you chose for level 1 of this focus. Thus, if your first pick was gaining the level-0 power of Psychic Succor, your second could be Mastered Succor. You still could not get the level-1 core power of Psychic Succor, however, as you’re still restricted to level-0.",

Training is not always required to develop this ability, and their MES is so mild that they don’t suffer the risk of madness or brain damage that more developed psychics risk should they use their powers without proper training.\nWild talents are not treated as psychics for general purposes and cannot “torch” their powers. When relevant, they are treated as having one point of Effort. Psychics and Partial Psychics cannot take this focus.\nLevel 1: Pick a psychic discipline. You gain an ability equivalent to the level-0 core power of that discipline. Optionally, you may instead pick a level-1 technique from that discipline, but that technique must stand alone; you can’t pick one that augments another technique or core ability. For example, you could pick the Telekinetic Armory technique from Telekinesis, because that ability does not require the use of any other Telekinesis power. You could not pick the Mastered Succor ability from Biopsionics, because that technique is meant to augment another power you don’t have.\nLevel 2: You now have a maximum Effort of two points. You may pick a second ability according to the guidelines above. This second does not need to be a stand-alone technique if it augments the power you chose for level 1 of this focus. Thus, if your first pick was gaining the level-0 power of Psychic Succor, your second could be Mastered Succor. You still could not get the level-1 core power of Psychic Succor, however, as you’re still restricted to level-0.",

Training is not always required to develop this ability, and their MES is so mild that they don’t suffer the risk of madness or brain damage that more developed psychics risk should they use their powers without proper training.\nWild talents are not treated as psychics for general purposes and cannot “torch” their powers. When relevant, they are treated as having one point of Effort. Psychics and Partial Psychics cannot take this focus.\nLevel 1: Pick a psychic discipline. You gain an ability equivalent to the level-0 core power of that discipline. Optionally, you may instead pick a level-1 technique from that discipline, but that technique must stand alone; you can’t pick one that augments another technique or core ability. For example, you could pick the Telekinetic Armory technique from Telekinesis, because that ability does not require the use of any other Telekinesis power. You could not pick the Mastered Succor ability from Biopsionics, because that technique is meant to augment another power you don’t have.\nLevel 2: You now have a maximum Effort of two points. You may pick a second ability according to the guidelines above. This second does not need to be a stand-alone technique if it augments the power you chose for level 1 of this focus. Thus, if your first pick was gaining the level-0 power of Psychic Succor, your second could be Mastered Succor. You still could not get the level-1 core power of Psychic Succor, however, as you’re still restricted to level-0.",
