~~Monitors: (Street) doctors, hackers, scientists, and mechanics.

Write down the following faction status changes as a result of the crew’s upgrades:
Edges

~One faction helped you get an upgrade. Take +1 status with them. Or spend 1 Joule
~~Fearsome: The cohort is terrifying in aspect and reputation.

or partner in crime. Write down the following faction status changes related Flaws
to your contact: ~~Principled: The cohort has an ethic or values that it won’t betray.
~~Savage: The cohort is excessively violent and cruel.

contact and take +2 and -2 status, instead. You can add an additional type to a gang or expert by spending two crew upgrades. When a cohort performs actions for
which its types apply, it uses its full quality rating. Otherwise, its quality is zero. A given cohort can have up to two types.
FUEL
Airships need fuel. Comets start out with 2 fuel. Each downtime a crew of Comets consumes 1 fuel (2 if it has the costly flaw)
to keep it operational. They get more fuel with their special ability Solarpunk, detailed on page 124.
Depending on fictional circumstances, a GM might apply this need for fuel to other situations. It is assumed airships use
different fuel than other methods of transportation; a more costly upkeep is applied to air travel than other vehicles.
