The Garou speaks to a {@spirit Pattern Spider|W20} in or near a technological device and tells them the message to be delivered and whom it should be delivered to. The {@spirit Pattern Spider|W20} then finds the receiver and uses any com­ munications technology near them to deliver the message: Phones yell it out (without picking up the handset or needing to be turned on), electronic billboards display it, and computer printers print it out as text. If no com­ munications technology is present, any other technology will activate, though no message will be imparted. If no technology whatsoever is present near the receiver, the Gift fails. A {@spirit Pattern Spider|W20} teaches this Gift.","System: The player spends a Gnosis point and rolls {@attribute Charisma|V20} + {@ability Science|V20}. The difficulty depends on the distance the message needs to be sent: The next room is difficulty 4, the same building 5, one block away 6, ten miles (16 km) away 7, a time-zone away 8. Beyond that is difficulty 9. The more successes achieved, the longer the message can be.
