Watch closely! Now you see me; now you don't, A

Technocrat is a master of unseen Procedures, requiring him

to hide in the shadows of technology. With this combination

of Spheres of influence, an agent can take further precautions

against being monitored. A Selective Edit can shield against

any one type of surveillance for a brief period of time, as long

as a technocratic Procedure can justify it (e.g., "my electromagnetic

transmissions short out all video cameras").

The agent using Selective Edit becomes effectively

Cloaked (as per the Background), anticipating and foiling

any methods of recording his activities. Some Operatives also

learn where enemy agents place cameras and microphones;

these Technocrats show up as a dark blur or grainy picture on

recording media. Others learn to distrust their masters, doing

all they can to watch for the Watchers.

[The Procedure's duration is based on the Damage and

Duration chart for magic. If the agent is being monitored by

another Correspondence Procedure, the two rolls are contested.

The lower number of successes are deducted from the higher

score, so even a partial cloak can help to distort surveillance.]
