An individual’s ability to detect and discover clues or specific objects via an active search. This Skill also reflects the ability to “connect the dots” between different objects. Initially, this Skill resembles something akin to rummaging, but with training, it can become a quick and powerful tool. It can be used to detect everything from inconsistencies in credit transfers to finding biological samples at a crime scene. This Skill revolves around a focused, in-depth search and not a passive perception of the area around the individual.

Investigation +0: Common awareness of things happening around you.

Investigation +1: You understand the importance of observation without obstruction. You are more careful of the subtle nuances that can be observed and where they can lead, but it takes time and effort to form the connections.

Investigation +2: Your 'educated guess' success rate has improved, demonstrating your ability to connect the dots of a scene, or multiple instances of evidence you've looked over. You can put together the puzzle pieces, given enough time, and reliably produce an accurate result.

Investigation +3: You see the strands that connect events, and can follow those from point to point. It takes you relatively little time to piece together seemingly unconnected points of interest and form the bigger picture. CorSec would pay a decent living wage for your employ.

Investigation +4: When the so-called experts aren't enough, you're the one who gets the call. It is a relatively simple matter for you to piece together clues and connections as if weaving a complex tapestry. The world is full of hints, and you know the right places to look.

Investigation +5: The world is a loom before you, and you are the weaver at its helm. Everything has a place, everything is connected, and you see those connections as easily as if you were tracing a child's connect-the-dots artwork.
