Truths
Earlier when Captain Swann jumped out of the airplane, a truth, ‘Veteran Command Captain’ came into play in a positive way. However, truths can apply to more than characters. A scene can also have truths.
Truths that apply to a scene can also be a help or a hindrance. When the scene first starts, the truth ‘Stormy Weather’ works in the characters’ favor and reduces the difficulty of all Stealth checks by 1, due to the cloud cover and heavy rain. However, later in the scene when they are trying to spot the Black Sun ambushers, it is helpful to their opponents. In the case of the latter, creative players can overcome it if they have a way to generate light—at the risk of exposing their position. While a character’s truth is typically always present, even if it has no bearing on current actions, a truth attached to a scene can be modified or overcome by the actions of the players.
