The ability to read the auras of objects is an obscure one, and one not normally thought useful in a modern society. But an order of Gank Phreakers, cyborgs one and all, has taken this power to an extreme that few would have predicted.

Object reading basic power:

Spend a pip to get a sence of strong emotions associated with an engaged object

Spend a pip to get a sence of the purpose of an engaged manufactured object.

Tier 1

Left side: Strength:

May sence the intent of an engaged Droid or nonliving creature.

Right side Range

Right side Magnatude

Right side strength: Sence more complex emotions in any object.

Tier 2

Left side: Control:

May influence the actions of a droid with an opposed discipline test. Add FR to Skullduggery, Mechanics and Computer checks.

Right side Strength:

spend pips to have a vision of the object's past.

Thoughts?

This is very similar to Quinlan Vos' native ability of psychometry. Game balancing is not my strong suit but it looks good to me.

Psychometry is difficult to build an entire tree around, which is why I merged it with a technomancy theme. Does that connection feel reasonable?

Maybe this might flow better.

I'd stick with using the Foresee power as the base, and require the PC to spend a Destiny Point to use that power to see the object's past.

I was thinking use Seek, but Foresee doesn't work badly either.
