Background

Stitch was a medic for the mercenary company the Star Wolves. The company disbanded after doing dodgier and dodgier jobs. Stitch has nightmares about a time when an Ur artifact vapourised a majority of the company and was marked by it. He sees their ghosts and drinks to forget them. Juda is also an ex-member of the Star Wolves who went legit.

¹⁾

drinks to forget / prayers for the fallen

²⁾

Each time you use this ability we learn a little bit more about your past. Consider introducing your contacts in these discoveries, if appropriate.

³⁾

Normally it takes an attune roll to handle a Precursor artifact safely. When you ask your questions, this may be in addition to whatever else you were doing with the artifact or substance. Treat this like a gather information roll where you rolled a 6.
