53, Estate that has 9 large bedrooms, a great master bedroom, landscaping, and separate Budak quarters - this was from the longer-lived side of the gene pool and will... perhaps, eventually, see all of those rooms in use
57, Battery and Power Storage Facility near the clinic, producing suitable gear for hospital and emergency services as well as vehicles
74, Psionic Control Center with dorms, medical facilities for injuries, and classrooms fit for training those with psionic powers
34, Clinic Recovery Area with small dorms for visiting family members
197, Power Plant, serving the hospital and clinic where she was spliced, and quite a bit of the surrounding area
   
Kiran/Le'ret/Ski'nahket

24, Estate, off site but within view of the Mesa which includes a decent bit of land that the crystals used to store electricity as well as information are mined
71 Energy Nook - a charging station for vehicles and batteries for personal items, part of the Ski'nahket power system
40, Powers Lab in the Mesa suitable for the more... unusually gifted members of the Vahh clan
158, Crystal Mines, her family's land was actually settled here early in the Vahh era before it was Zoned, and helped the clan build their reserves as well as serving the crystal tuned needs of the facility such as their large windows, heavy laser glass, and the like
177, Power Plant producing only part of Ski'nahket's power supply, but is redundant for the purpose of keeping the rest of the facility at a stable level at all times
Bayaran 29 - mainly working the power plants and crystal mines, though these will eventually dwindle until her finances stabilize, she cannot (well, she will not) take on any new Bond debts until her situation is more comfortable
Budak 12 - Now requires at least one with her for mundane tasks that cannot be done by her flitters such as lifting clothing or heavy items, opening doors and drawers, and until more detailed effort takes effect, also for things like typing or holding down buttons that the flits aren't big enough to do. The others usually work at the Ski'nahket facilities in various capacities
Savings 7k, depleted due to costs of healing - note that she often will still hire on Kaumburuh (quite a few) for their work in the mines and power plants, but has had to rely on her family connections and Vahh's group for the rest since her accident
Profession / kc per year

Sehatan - Psionic Power and Control Specialist, leveraging psychology to aid distress but mainly relying on power use to encourage or cancel uncontrolled outbursts / 45kc

Atasan - donor families work in generators and electricity, so she has 'power' on both ends... adding up to about 12kc for her minor role in product placement around facilities for battery and crystal kiosks

Minor

Minor Psionic Trigger - to gently nudge a new psionic user, this power is only used after she knows exactly what she's up against. Sometimes powers refuse to work, or there has been trauma to a patient and they 'can't let it work', which is why she uses it in conjunction with strong Psychology skills. She will have others available nearby just in case the power is actually dangerous, but more often than not by the time they're in this phase of treatment she trusts that she can then dampen the power as needed. If she absolutely must, she can trigger Major powers as well, and also could in theory trigger all of a person's abilities of Minor tier at once. She would not do this, that's absolutely not going to happen consciously.

Particulate Sense - though this was her first appearing power, it has remained a sort of weaker sideline to her more 'important' abilities. However, she does reliably have a spotless environment to work in, as she can spot any patches of dust or grime, any particle matter that's within a 10 meter sphere she knows just exactly where it is. If she hadn't developed other powers, she would probably have been a cleanroom attendant.

Major

Major Psionic Dampening - when all else fails, there's always 'throw a blanket over the fire'. This is often used in early sessions with patients, to prevent them from doing any damage to themselves or others, and is frequently her first role in the field when someone has issues without anyone to aid them on site. Within 50 meters, she can selectively dampen a single power up to Special tier on people of 2-5 PR, and Major tier 1/0 PR. This will turn off any actively used abilities that have the ability to be turned off, it cannot be used against naturally occurring effects like physical properties or senses, but can serve to un-shift a shapeshifter. It can be used against all Minor tier powers regardless of their PR, and also may be used with touch or extremely close proximity on all currently-in-use powers of anyone PR 2-5 rather than just one ability.

Siphon/Duplicate Major Power - individuals of PR 2-5 cannot resist this, and 1/0 tier psionics get a resistance roll vs GP. This ability allows Hukhanu to effectively duplicate those powers in a person around herself, in order to develop methods to make them functional or controlled better. She has skilled knowledge of certain abilities, but must rely on other people to do the actual testing to see which powers are likely to be found, so she can prepare herself. She can do this at a modest distance of 10 meters, one power at a time (wisely), and can duplicate powers into the Special tier when she's had exposure to them frequently enough. Generally speaking her 'first session' with a newly developing or suddenly-able patient, is to figure out which of their powers needs the most work. She'll fiddle with this ability if possible, under controlled settings, and then sit down with the patient to create a long term routine. The powers she adopts fade within a few hours of tapping them, but can be maintained if needed for up to 4 hours with exhaustion afterwards.

Energy Manipulation - this power is apparently uncontrolled, and didn't show up properly until her accident. She has hesitated to use it at all since that time, obviously, but in theory she should be able to focus electrical or peizoelectric forces on crystals or batteries. She has consciously tried to relax enough to try using it again, but worries that another incident might kill her or those around her. It is highly likely that this combined with the Siphon power caused the surge. Thing is, she really could use someone rather like herself, to encourage herself to practice and become more sure about its use!

Special Dragon Tuning - Sense / ID / Locate / Train Small dragons - this ability is a suite of powers collecting around the 'pet sized' creatures that have been created while Dragon Mastery was growing into its own. Creatures of Body Type 20 or below may be sensed, their biology understood, mood and sensibilities detected. She can sense them up to 500 meters and determine many facets of their personalities, uses, needs, and physical condition. Additionally she can act as a sort of den-mother to them when they're amenable, meaning she can easily train groups of small creatures simple behaviors, and more complex ones come easier than most but require more time and effort. She can affect up to 20 BT worth of life, meaning if a draconic creature is only 1 BT in size, there can be an entire flock of them to do her bidding. Note that this power didn't surface until her injuries in the field, and she's still working out the best way to insert it into her routine.
Physical Mutations / Social Disadvantages
Mutations

Strongly Resistant to Psionics applied to herself, normally this gives her an edge when dealing with difficult uncontrolled patients. But it also applied to those attempting to heal her wounds, and has prevented them from being able to regrow her hands. Typically this Special level mutation is of use for high-end psionic battles of will, avoiding detection from even deeply telepathic minds, and shrugging off power-based damage. It did all those things, and still does. But the beneficial side of psionic use is also prevented. -- Attacks or even communications must be Special tier and cast from PR 1 or 0 psionics to even get a resistance roll, otherwise any psionic use around her simply doesn't work on her

Possibly Reincarnated? Hukhanu has always been a little odd in ways that have led people who have any historical knowledge to scratch their heads: how could she possibly have known about this or that ability or power, when she's not a Peridian? With Vahh to look her over, quite thoroughly in fact with the aid of several of his own descendants, they've determined that it is true, she is actually being touched or at least sometimes guided by the psionic remnant of the very Sehatan who pioneered the Status. Eibhlin was known to have very similar issues, her hands were severed yet she had telekinesis that allowed her to continue working with patients. Under her direction in the mid-9500s, the Sehatan logo seen above was created, and the Status has been using it ever since. There is a very clear connection between this long-dead woman and her living conduit. This connection does not constantly affect her, but it definitely is 'weird' to have someone else talking. Particularly with her psionic resistance!

Disadvantages Though she was not born this way, she Lost Both Hands in an accidental discharge of an energy crystal. Her own power caused this, overloading the crystal when she touched it. This has caused her to have the obvious issues of not being able to manipulate items or use most tools without aid. (BT negligible loss, but Manual Dexterity is now zero.) She also has minor scarring, most of which has been surgically covered up since psionic healing is completely ineffective on her. This does not apply to her 'ghostly' friend...

Seen is how you'd typically be observing them while facing Hukhanu, genly perched on her shoulders or near her now-smoothed over wrists.

She's thinking about getting modesty 'gloves' which serve to protect her scarred wrist stumps, that also have perching points for these lil' creatures, and knows perfectly well that her Geel will insist on them coming in as many colors as possible to fit 'any' situation now if only you'd wear the right pants-suit in conjunction dear oh dear

Dragon Bonded at (?)

"They are quite small," Geel said, "but they seem rather... intense at their work..."

"That's because they are doing my work...?" Hukhanu hinted, "they do act as my fingers, it's... It's odd, because you remember that time that one room needed cleaning up?"

"The boarded-over doorway, I remember!"

They continued to walk together around the main records room in the Zuoth Psionic facility where Hukhanu was training her little Draeco.

"It ... it's almost like that, when I sort of grabbed all of the dust up with my power and lumped it into--"

"That wobbly ball of grit," Geel finished for her, expression showing both the horror of that moment as well as the delight in its hilarity, "and it went--"

"Everywhere in the hall!" Hukhanu laughed as well, but this time the Draeco didn't stop their pulling of papers into the air and placing them on the nearby counter. They were getting better at ignoring what else was going on, in favor of doing the task that their mistress was asking of them. This didn't go unnoticed, while the pair of women spoke to one another. "They are much better at not doing things like spilling zpara cups or dropping storage crystals where they'll be forgotten."

"I'm so glad that you've gotten the hang of this," Geel admitted, "I still worry about you."

"I'm fine, I'm..."

"You aren't always fine," Geel said, slightly hushed, and her spliced daughter and inheritor of a good chunk of the family business looked away with a little bit of sadness.

"You're right, I... it's a struggle sometimes. I try and find the good in it, I try and laugh at it when I can. Like when I punch myself in the face with this stump," she indicated one wrist, "trying to brush my hair out of my eyes!"

Geel was absolutely going to start up with the 'we should get your hair styled' routine but stopped herself before she made it worse. "Well it is a good thing you've got these little creatures, as well as Dret for those other things."

"I suppose that if I weren't ... well, strongly enabled like I am, it would be easier." They finished with the paperwork shuffling, just a test of the Draeco anyway, and began pacing the long hallway into the Recovery area again. "I'd be able to have prosthetics or attachments. Or just. ... Have been able to be healed."

She'd reached that point in her emotional cycle that Geel had seen on several occasions, during this healing process. "Yes, but then you wouldn't be the gifted trainer than I know you are. Those people in the desert and here in our Zone need you and you're there for them. I am proud of you," she said, and Hukhanu knew she wasn't lying or coddling her. One of the little blue, red, and violet Draeco did come up to its mistress' face, and nuzzled up against her now-wet cheek.

"That's so adorable," Geel said.

"I - just wish they'd remember I would like to have a cloth or tissue for it instead of tiny little claws on my cheek!" She laughed in reply, it would be a better day, no more gloom at least for a while.
