Effect
You gain +2 Roll Bonus to all Engineering checks involving machines, engines, and mechanical devices. You can diagnose a machine’s problem by listening to it for 1 minute (no check required — the GM tells you what’s wrong).
Repairs you make are more durable: Jury-Rigged repairs (if you also have that talent) last for 1 full session instead of 1 scene.
Special
You can operate any vehicle or mechanical device (trains, winches, pumps, Consortium machinery) without training. Complex maneuvers still require checks, but basic operation is automatic.
