Another
use of the resourcefulness skill can occur during dialogue
encounters. While one of the characters on the team might be talented
in persuasion attempts, other players can use resourcefulness checks
to find useful information about the target. Success might result in
the discovery of information about him online that could then be fed
to the persuasion-expert on the team, which often results in a bonus
to his persuasion attempts. Resourcefulness might also turn up useful
tips about what keywords the target might be looking to hear. In one
particular mission, a successful resourcefulness check against the
target will reveal that he's only interested in two topics—knowing
this is something only a resourceful character can determine. In
another instance, a successful check will reveal that the confusing
hand motions of a silent prisoner is actually military sign language
to indicate there are listening devices nearby and the characters are
being monitored.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
