Perspective Bleeding
A derivative of the Assimilative Perspective system, “Perspective Bleeding,” offers a taste of that experience for just a few credits, if you know the right person. In Orzen, Gucci Garantine uses a Perspective Bleeding device not to relax or explore the consciousness of others, but to temporarily gain access to the skillset of someone else for the duration of a mission.[1] The Perspective Bleeding device looks like a wire recorder.
