Sanitize Evidence (• • Matter, • • Forces)

When cyborgs and Men in Black learn to manipulate

matter and energy, things get ugly. Changing one form of

matter into another, shaping electricity into solid materials

or blasting through walls and doors with bursts of energy can

be quite vulgar. When no one's watching, however, teams of

agents and cyborgs can do some amazingly subtle things.

Don't think Iteration X is only good at killing things....

When covering up evidence, some investigators wish

they could make incriminating materials just "go away."

Wish granted. Call in the Sanitization Squad. Put up a

boundary around the perimeter and have your suits and

cybercops convert the solid matter (dead bodies, blood stains,

bullet holes and killing grounds) into energy. Soak it all up.

When you absolutely, positively have to make something

disappear overnight, call in a cover-up team.

[Unfortunately, converting so much inanimate matter

into processed energy takes time. Make a Sanitize Evidence

roll for each hour of activity. You can make this effort a group

venture if you want to work faster. Each success obliterates 10

pounds of matter, converting it into energy that can be stored

and carted away. The mundane world need never know. Really

big disasters can be problematic, since a botch will almost

certainly detonate the materials explosively. For this reason,

many containment teams split up and handle problems in small

pieces, avoiding the possibility of a tremendous foul-up.]
