misterdeath Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 They hire Seeker to be the team powerhouse. There's an entire wing of the emergency ward devoted to them, and on permanent standby. Their character sheets have 2/3 their points spent on things like KS: Orchid Growing, KS: Sports Trivia, and KS: Porn Sites and they forgot to buy Scholar.
