Translation Codex
Some recursors cultivate the power to do more than just translate between known worlds. These explorers learn to walk between connected recursions on an endless journey of discovery and adventure. The nature of recursions, based on my research and frankly the view from the Strange itself, is that of a bathtub covered in clumps of bubbles. Each recursion forms a bubble in space, separated from the rest, but many bubbles are connected to others by a thin membrane.
These Strangers learn to find and cross these tenuous membranes, mapping out networks of connected worlds and in the process finding recursions no one would think to look for.
You have a vision of the recursion you're currently tracking.
You gain an intuitive sense of the Laws and Trait of the recursion you're currently tracking.
You can take this Focus to any recursion, or even to Earth.
You gain an intuitive sense of the location and distance to the closest recursion gate within this world, if one exists.
You sense the presence of another recursion connected to this one, and the general direction you'd have to travel to find where the two might meet, a location called the "membrane." Once there, you may make a Difficulty 4 Intellect task to open a translation gate to that recursion, which lasts for three rounds.
You prevent a creature within Long distance from passing through a recursion gate.
When you pass through a translation gate you may keep one held object the same as it was in the previous recursion, as though it had passed through an inapposite gate.
You create a membrane at your current location, so that you might open a recursion gate there. You have no control over which recursion it will lead to, but it will be someplace related to this recursion in some major way.
You create an inapposite gate at an existing membrane, leading to the connected recursion, which lasts for 3 rounds. This gate will never lead to Earth.
GM Intrusion: The translation you're tracking is more dangerous than you'd ever imagined.
