Mirrorshades (• Dimensional Science)

What would a Man in Black be without his shades? The

focus for this Procedure is (quite obviously) a pair of sunglasses.

Black Suits don't just wear them because they promote anonymity,

and they don't just carry them to "look cool." Consider

what sunglasses do — they polarize light. Some ultraviolet rays

are screened out, selectively adjusting the brightness of your

surroundings and tuning out what you don't want to see. When

used as an apparatus for Spirit 1, this principle is taken one step

further. By focusing his perception and scanning for "anomalous

data" or "Reality Deviants," the agent can train himself to

sense things that "aren't really there."

se; Perception + Awareness will usually do. However, the

agent has to know what he's searching for with this Effect. For

instance, a Paranormal Defense Force "ghostbuster" won't

accidentally see a wraith unless she suspects it's there and is

specifically looking for it. The number of successes required

depends on the sort of cross-dimensional perception desired

— spotting ghosts probably requires only a few successes, but

peering into the depths of the spirit worlds from the material

world probably requires six or more successes.]
