 ======'AUGUR' Project ======

 The research proposed a set of hypothetical results brought about by invasive human experimentation on not only advance the capabilities of the body but the mind as well through a forced faux-evolution. While the research was mostly conjecture and hypothetical hyperbole; The first steps were taken to enact the project as one of the multiple redundancies for the refugees on the final colony ship to ensure a wide range of advantages for the people of the Remnant Conglomerate //if// they were to make it to their final intended destination.

 When creating an Augur you should answer these questions:
-  * <color #22b14c>Name</color> - While Augurs all have their birth names. Part of their contact is that they are more or less anonymous in public and instead are referred to by their superiors and other Augurs by a callsign that is based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarot|Tarot Cards]].  While you can name your Augur //Ace of Cups// you can also just as simply name him //Sun, moon, or Fool//. While there are only so many Tarot cards in the deck and many more Augurs it is perfectly possible for there to be more than one of the same Tarot, and that such titles are often up to interpretation.

 ===== Equipment =====
+Augurs are more than capable of making their own weapons and equipment by necessity through matter shaping. There is some common-issue equipment issued to them, however.
+==== Psypistol ====
+The //Psypistol// is a magnetically charged capacitor-driven mass-driver-based pistol issued to Augurs. The weapon is unique to Augurs due to their ability to make rapid calculations allowing them to make accurate shots with such an unwieldy weapon as a mass driver.
+The weapon has a built-in scanner that lightly penetrates surface materials and scans their properties and base makeup for matter-shaping for Augurs without the skill to easily tell at a glance or sense the properties of a material. It can also tell carbon and gas readings in the air as well as other utilities most skilled Augurs can learn to do passively in time.
+The weapon has a large rifle-style magazine with specialized 7.52x32 bullets with a thorium core that the Augur is trained to know the exact weight, diameter, and properties of that can be used as a smart-bullet using the firearms flip-open screen to plan bullet trajectories by using rapid mental calculations and telekinesis to guide the bullets to have some limited ability to change their trajectory for more accurate or skillful shots. Most Augurs know the exact dimensions of their bullets and can form more with acess to other metals, though without thorium it is unlikely they can guide the bullets. The fact that the firearm is a mass-driver powered by battery and capacitors means it doesn't require gunpowder and only requires a bullet and a casing to hold it and a small, easy to produce charge to seperate the bullet from its casing.

+==== Pychowatch ====
+The //Pychowatch// is a normal device resembling a common analog wrist watch but serves the function of when attuned to an AUGUR can be channeled passively both a psychics latent static manipulation and perceptual powers to channel into a holographic display and works as a kind of life-signs detector slightly less powerful than actively sensing their surrounding but useful when attention is divided elsewhere. It can be enhanced by a psychic actively by funneling psychic energy into it and acts as a weaker and less-efficient version of what some bloodhound-oriented AUGURs are capable of but without requiring the skillset.
+The pychowatch can show the locations usually in the form of a colored dot but without actively enhancing it is unreliable as to determining more than the mood/intent of the scanned individual and can read false-positives of friendlies as red enemy dots if it reads their powerful emotions such as a soldiers passion or anger in combat reading the hostile intent and vice versa with a potential enemy not overtly hostile showing as a friendly blue-dot.
