Mind Scan and telepathy

[Barton]

5ER states if the subject of a mind scan moves on a large scale or teleports a breakout roll should be made. Logical, and reasonable. Based on this I assume if the MENTALIST teleports or does a large scale move the subject of the mind scan should earn a breakout roll. Logical or do I have it wrong?

No, the attacking character’s movement doesn’t effect the existence of a Mind Scan lock-on — he still knows where the target is (though the exact amount of information depends on the strength of his Effect Roll, of course). The GM can change that, allowing a Breakout Roll as described for the target’s movement, if the attacker is moved involuntarily (e.g., he’s subjected to Teleportation Usable As Attack) or it otherwise seems appropriate to do so.
