			There are reasons for Technocratic dominance. One of
			them involves the epic resources available to Technocratic
			operatives. With this Background – ''a Trait available ONLY
			to Technocrats in good standing with the Order'' – you can request
			goodies from your superiors and often expect to get them.

			Before a mission, you and your team will be issued whatever
			gear your superiors expect you to need. If you want more than
			that (as most agents do), you need to requisition it. In story
			terms, you tap your contacts and file an official request for
			the desired goodies – see '''''Requisitioning, Outsourcing, and
			Borrowing Backgrounds''''', (pp. 302-303). In game terms, you
			roll your Requisitions rating as a dice pool. Each success on
			that roll gives you five Background points with which to buy
			Devices for that mission. (See '''''The Toybox''''' in '''Appendix II''' for
			Devices and their costs.) More than three successes scores you as
			much mundane Sleepertech as you can use. If your relationship
			with the Powers That Be is good, this’ll be an easy roll... and
			if not, then good luck getting anything other than an earful
			of abuse. See '''''The Six Degrees''''' in '''Chapter Five,''' (pp. 181-182),
			for examples of good standing and its alternatives.

			Assuming that your reputation remains spotless (or you’ve at
			least balanced out your cock-ups with blazing victories), you could
			simply consider this Background to be worth five Background
			points per dot when requisitioning Devices. Your Storyteller
			may reserve the roll for times when you’re on thin ice, asking for
			special favors, or trying to pound a mosquito with a pile driver.

			At mission’s end, you must return the borrowed gear. If
			Q Division has to come for it themselves, you’ll be losing your
			Requisitions rating for a while... and if you’re lucky, that’s
			''all'' they’ll take! Lost or damaged gear reflects poorly on your
			performance, too – especially if you let some Reality Deviant
			get her blood-caked hands on Union hypertech. If things went
			well, your Requisitions rating might go up a dot or two; if
			not, it might lose one or two dots... even more if you make a
			catastrophic mess. Your amalgam can pool this Background in
			order to requisition even more gear, but then the entire group is
			responsible for both equipment and success. The Technocracy
			understands that eggs get broken when omelets get prepared,
			but such understanding goes only so far...
