: An allied mech character within line of sight and SENSORS quickly flash reboots at the system level. This ends all effects caused by tech actions, stops NHP cascades, and gives the target Immunity to all tech actions – hostile and allied – other than this one until the end of their next turn. This cannot be used on Jammed characters.
Additionally, roll 1d6 to determine a side effect from the table below. These effects take place immediately and don’t count as an action or reaction. Any movement they cause is involuntary.
Choose an allied mech character within line of sight and SENSORS. You power up their weapons. When they make a ranged or melee attack roll:
This effect ends when your target successfully hits with a ranged or melee attack roll or at the end of the scene.
