Psionic Emulator by Stone Gargoyle

The base unit/interface with a telepathy translator costs 1.8 million credits and ONLY allows the robot or bionics character to receive and send telepathic messages. An I.S.P. battery unit must be inserted to allow the device to run off of it as a battery to power other abilities. An I.S.P. battery unit with 120 I.S.P. points costs 12,000 credits, with the I.S.P. for the battery regenerating at a rate of 12 points per hour without need for meditation, with a given battery having an average life of one year before needing replacement. Cost of the individual lesser psionic powers is equal to the I.S.P. cost X1,000 credits (so to purchase Clairvoyance, for instance, would cost 4,000 credits). Lesser psionic powers available for purchase include any from the three lesser psionic power categories of healing, sensitive, and physical, with the exception of Transfer I.S.P. (I.S.P. of this type is artificial and only simulates actual I.S.P. and so cannot be transferred to someone else), Mind Block (bionics characters and robots are already impervious to psionic attack), and Meditation (does not need to meditate to regain I.S.P. points). Most, but not all (see below) Super Psionic Powers may be purchased, but at higher cost (cost equal to the I.S.P. cost X10,000 credits except as noted). The system will only support a total of 12 lesser psionic powers and three Super Psionic powers. Psionic powers do not go up in level like they would for an ordinary psionic character; all abilities that would otherwise increase with level are locked at level 1 ability.
