Special Traits
Vulcan Physiology: Stronger and hardier than most humans.
Mind Meld: Rare telepathic technique usable once per day. Requires one round of direct physical contact and focus to establish a mental link. On the second round, emotions and recent experiences may be shared between both participants. On a third round, Spock may probe to learn deeper memories and hidden thoughts. If the target resists, roll Spock’s focus of 2d6+6 versus the target’s roll of 2d6 + Intelligence + Command. Spock must get a total greater than the target to perform the mind meld.

COMMANDER PELIA
Age 5,027 (Lanthanite lifespan). Pelia is what happens when a brilliant engineer has had centuries to get bored with everyone else’s assumptions. She is sharp, dry, strange, calm under stress, and mildly amused by younger officers treating a crisis as unprecedented. She has lived on Earth since ancient times, hidden in plain sight, and carries a practical, accumulated wisdom that is different from Vulcan logic, Starfleet optimism, or human idealism. She knows the difference between “impossible” and “someone forgot to try it sideways.” In her younger days, she spent time with a “time-traveling Doctor I once knew.”

Special Traits
Lanthanite Longevity: Pelia has lived far longer than an ordinary human and can personally remember historical periods that others study academically.
Questionable Provenance: Pelia has an eye for artifacts and objects, and her relationship with ownership can be flexible. She may use Trade, Streetwise, or Security for appraisals, “borrowed” tools, hidden caches, antique equipment, black-market salvage, or suspiciously convenient parts.

CYRANO JONES
Age 52. Independent merchant and small-time trader. Values profit before caution. Cheerful, evasive, enterprising, and always ready to sell something that is technically legal, probably unwise, and definitely not his fault if it reproduces exponentially. Cyrano avoids danger directly, but he is good at noticing exits, hiding places, bribes, and people who can be blamed.
