You have experience in vehicle repair, but only in a stable environment, with plenty of tools. You've got a ways to go in order to make it in the postwar world. You can handle rollers and other basic vehicles just fine, but you'll definitely need some help with Votan tech.
- Gardening
3/100
You have a basic idea of how to arrange a garden. You have a vague idea of which plants grow where, and when they bloom, as well as other random factoids, but don't ask much beyond that. You're an amateur gardener at best.

- Cooking
3/100
The most basic art for survival of any sapient and sentient species. You understand the basics of boiling, brisking, baking, and all that nonsense in regards to Terran foods familiar to the average North American. You're even beginning to grasp how those odd Castithans make their consumables. Food tastes 1% better, requires 1% less ingredients, and gradual development of subskills. Percentages increase by 1 with each level up of this skill.

An average Lawkeeper tier uniform. Looks very nice and official, and gives you a high level of authority in town. Of course, the outfit comes with the responsibilities, so don't screw this up. - Hailer
Initially constructed as short range radios for the Earth Military Coalition when satellites were no longer an option, this device proves invaluable in frontier areas like Defiance. Functions like a mixture of a walkie talkie, cellular phone, and a radio. - Stratton S-42 Sheriff Hat
Hey! It's a cool hat! Gives shade for your face, as well as covering up baldness. You know. If you need that. In the future. Heh heh heh.
