Skills

Basic Weapon Training (SP and Las)
Talent: Inquisitorial Acolyte
The Acolyte receives a special command authorization code, hypnoinducted directly in their minds. This code allows them to confirm they are agents operating under orders of an Inquisitor. This may not impress everyone, but it might save them from a disastrous conflict with local authorities, or allow to obtain access to supplies and assistance. Of course, one impediment may be that the agent first has to convince someone to actually verify the code.
Talent: Sterilization drug
The Acolyte has been rendered sterile by a mixture of drugs and chemicals. They loose all reproductive qualities, but still feel passion and desire. Similar to methods practiced in some Imperial Guard regiments, this serves to avoid the risk of having a cell member incapacitated due to pregnancy or having relatives used for blackmail or revenge. There is an antidote which negates the sterilization effect, but it must be taken within 25 years, else these effects become permanent.
