Can Cass predict what your character is thinking/planning/doing? Emma tries to control her body language, but while she's pretty good, it isn't her main focus. Telling what she's thinking in a social situation would probably yield broad emotions and sometimes extreme generalities -- that's where she's most practiced in containing her body language. In combat in would work better. Telling what she's planning to do physically probably works best - she's planning to use her body so her thoughts and her body are more closely connected. (The first time this comes up, you can assume she's telegraphing nearly everything to someone as good as quickly reading body language as you are; if she realizes she's been made, after that she'll train and she will remain readable but not as much so.) Telling what she's planning to do telepathically in combat wouldn't work so well because there's less reason for her body to get involved. Still considerable body language, but on the order of "She's planning a telepathic attack to disable him" and not "She's going to go into his head, grab that overdeveloped sense of chivalry, and make him unwilling to fight a woman." If yes, what limitations do you have on this? Mostly explained above. If Emma mucks with her own mind to compartmentalize running the body, or if she hangs out inside her own head, there's just nothing in the body langauge to read. Is there anything you'd rather she not be able to predict? Emma's long-term schemes tend to be pretty well-contained inside her head. Anything else? Hacking: Emma's NV is well-protected, but it sends data in and out through normal public channels, so copies of even private network traffic could be obtained elsewhere. If I ever forget to label an encryption level, let me know. Her normal encryption is hackable (and will remain so though it'll get harder to hack) but she has access to other filters. Mmm.... She has an entirely different NV for business which is better protected. Network body language: If I haven't labeled Emma's comment as Text/ Voice/ Video, assume it's the same as whatever she's responding to. If that's not clear, feel free to assume video.
