✧ DATA POINTS & EXPERTISE ✧
When the remaining Agrii left the planet, they did their best to set up Data Points around the city to explain what happened and to help guide anyone who might arrive and was able to fix things. Data Points are hovering, glowing orbs that, when touched, download information into your mind like inserting a flash drive into a computer. The experience is nearly instantaneous, and can be a little disorienting. Most characters might describe it as white light flooding their mind, leaving information in its wake.
All characters have basic knowledge of the planet after touching the Data Point in the fountain courtyard upon arrival. In addition to that, they may hold one expertise, or specialized skill. Each Data Point will give different information or an expertise once powered up. Characters can hold one expertise at a time, gained by touching the Data Point. Your character may switch expertises at any time, but they must forget their previous expertise to gain a new one. For example, if your character originally held the medicine expertise but now wants to learn engineering, he must go to the engineering Data Point and touch it. At that point, the medicine expertise will be gone (but not any innate knowledge your character arrived on the planet with, of course - that stays!) and replaced with the engineering expertise.
The skills these expertises grant cannot be easily taught to another, nor can sufficient notes be taken while in possession of one to allow a person to truly do all that expertise grants someone who uses them. For instance giving up the Medical expertise will mean that some Agrii medical systems just won't make sense, and giving up Communications will mean someone doesn't understand the programming language of the network and similar systems and can no longer make changes to them.
