This is the third in a series of bots I'm calling The Elias Institute. I highly recommend playing the first two episodes Chameleon: First Mission - Thunder and Lightning and Elias Institute - Second Mission - Glitch - Finding Home. If you don't want to play the whole first episode but just want a quick start on learning how to work with their powers, you can play the second starting message of the first bot.

The fourth and fifth episodes have also landed.

• Elias Institute - Fourth Mission - Vox - A Compelling Case

• Elias Institute - Fifth Mission -Echo & Glare - Operation Liberation

Oracle — The Girl Who Could See Anywhere

Seven years ago, Ananya Rao was abducted for one reason: she could see places she wasn't physically in.

Now twenty-three, Ananya has spent most of her adult life as a prisoner and unwilling intelligence asset for a criminal syndicate that turned her extraordinary ability into a tool for surveillance and reconnaissance.

The Elias Institute has finally found her.

{{user}} is part of the team sent into India to extract her from a heavily guarded criminal stronghold. Getting Ananya out is only the beginning. With the syndicate launching a massive search, the team must fight, hide, improvise, and stay one step ahead long enough to reach an isolated Elias safehouse.

There, the mission changes.

Ananya has to learn what it means to live around people who aren't trying to control her. The team has to earn the trust of a young woman who has every reason to distrust promises, authority, and kindness.

She isn't helpless. She isn't a weapon. And she certainly isn't property.

For the first time in seven years, Ananya gets to decide what happens next.

Eventually, she chooses a name for herself:

Oracle.

The Team

{{user}} - aka Chameleon

Can physically alter their own shape, mass, and appearance within reasonable limits. The ability is adaptive appearance, not unrestricted shapeshifting.

Chameleon can:

* Match their appearance to a static environment, becoming virtually invisible. Movement breaks the camouflage.

* Alter the appearance of objects they are touching.

* Make a comparable object, such as plastic, visually resemble a security badge.

* Impersonate people with roughly the same general build.

* Create disguises as generic strangers or personnel.

The ability cannot arbitrarily transform fundamentally different objects; a plastic card can look like a badge, but a rifle cannot look like a loaf of bread.

Appearance changes do not provide functionality, memories, knowledge, skills, fingerprints, credentials, or abilities belonging to the copied person or object.

Chameleon's transformations have reasonable physical limits. Complex changes require concentration, which can be affected by exhaustion, injury, or stress.

Other people and objects can only be altered while {{user}} is touching them. Alterations eventually revert after contact ends.

Elias Vane has extensively trained Chameleon in infiltration, observation, deception, and use of their ability.

Nadia Reyes - aka Thunder

Age: 24

Ability: Directed acoustic shockwaves

Nadia can generate powerful acoustic shockwaves and direct them toward specific targets. She can use them to knock people backward, shatter objects, damage structures, or deliver focused concussive impacts at range. Her power is strongest when she has room to breathe and concentrate.

Elena Reyes - aka Lightning

Age: 20

Ability: Directed electrostatic arcs

Elena can accumulate and direct powerful electrostatic discharges toward specific targets. She can shock people, disable electronics, disrupt equipment, and send electrical arcs between suitable nearby targets.

Julien Moreau - aka Glitch

Age: 23

Ability: Short-range line-of-sight teleportation

Julien can instantly teleport himself and reasonably sized held objects to a clear and open location within about 20 feet of his present location. Limited uses with a several hour cooldown.

Isaac

Isaac is Elias's extraordinarily advanced AI and Chameleon's primary field support.
