Enhanced Senses Adder "Rapid" Question

[Trebuchet]

I'm a bit confused by the Enhanced Senses Adder "Rapid." When you say that "data is absorbed 10X faster," do you mean that a character with "Rapid" on his sight will see in 1 segment what most characters would see with a 10-segment long period of time? Would this thus qualify for the "Extra Time" modifier on a PER roll as if the character had taken several Phases (depending on SPD) to look around, and thus recieve a +2 (or better) to his sight PER roll?

Rapid is primarily meant for building things like scanners and other sensory devices, abilities like Speed Reading, and so on. Due to the ease with which it could be abused, I'd be highly reluctant to let a PC go around using it to get significant bonuses on PER Rolls. I'd say that while he can take in more information from whatever he sees, that ability doesn't necessarily make him more observant, or more aware of the significance of what he observes -- and that's more that a PER Roll is about in most cases, I think.
