You gain the conscious ability to reach out and speak to other shards, allowing you to understand them and them to understand you in turn. You can use this to request Data transfers between your shard and themselves and gather environmental or personal information they might have access to, such as Host Data and ability data which could allow your shard to replicate their powers. This relies on your ability to get the shard to agree with your request and comply with their demands. You gain an awareness of a shard's current power and function when within 30ft of its user and a burst of information pertaining to their rank, function and potential power within the Entity network when you connect with them for the first time. This power also assures that shards you interact with will not report back on your abilities, interactions or plans. (Shards will not sense your Negentropy unless you bring it up.)
[Broadcast]
When used in conjunction with Jack Slash's ability, you are able to manipulate shards like Jack Slash manipulates Hosts; they also become more like their host during interactions with you, such as The Shaper acting more like Amelia, or The High Priest acting more gruff and hungry like Eidolon. In addition, [Query]'s range is boosted to 120ft.
[Junk Data]
You now possess both offensive or defensive applications for Shards' data requests to protect yourself or your Shard, either you spoof or send junk data masquerading as requested data, or aggressively take action with "time-sink" data, cognitohazards or other damaging tactics. Essentially becoming a Shard InfoSec specialist.
[Mass Communication]
Instead of being crippled for the cycle's sake, your Shard Broadcast functions are as good as new, with revitalized communicative abilities. You can simply express an idea to anyone and the whole world knows it, either as abstract screams within their minds at long distances, or a shout capable of rending anything and for Entities to comprehend you on their terms.
