    Lao Shui is a character model and is therefore subject to rules for Character Death.

  • Transmit Command Codes: As a short skill while in base contact with any Console, Lao Shui may attempt to transmit her command codes by succeeding on a normal WIP roll as a short skill. On a failure, this roll may be reattempted as many times as required, spending the corresponding short skill each time. This transmission may only be attempted while the Human Coalition dominates the network.
  • If the Human Coalition successfully transmits Lau Shui's command codes, they will secure the AI Support Routine Battle Prep for the Week 5 mega-battle.

  • Collect Lao Shui's Cube: Any model may take Lao Shui's cube by rendering her to a Null state with a melee attack, or by performing a Coup de Grace on her while she is in the Unconscious state.
  • If the Combined Army successfully collects Lao Shui's cube, they will secure the AI Support Routine Battle Prep for the Week 5 mega-battle.
