Prerequisite: Alien

The Networked trait means that the alien is connected in some way to others of their kind. Whether this is an inbuilt gadget this connects them to others, a telepathic field or a ‘hive mind’, it means that if one is in trouble or injured, it can call for aid. Whether others are in close proximity to help is another matter…

Networked is a Minor or Major Good Trait. As a Minor Trait, the aliens simply sense each other, and know when one is in trouble. They don’t really ‘talk’ to each other, but they can congregate in one place or know where to go in a similar manner to the Autons.

As a Major trait, they have the equivalent of the Telepathy Trait connecting them to each other, or even to a hive mind. Cybermen are more like this; they have the ability to send communications to other units. Most of the time, the range of this communication is limited. You can use the Telepathy Psychic Trait as a guide.
