  • For 4 Action Point, start a fire in your current room.
Learned by: Icon Mush 16 If Icon Mush: Only

Being a Pyromaniac allows you to start fires at will. Doing so costs 4 Action Point and has a 100% success chance.

The action is Icon Secret, so it will not be logged when you are alone. However, the fire will be announced immediately by NERON (and be shown by a Fire Detector) - which is a dead giveaway for arson unless it happens on cycle change, so timing is crucial.

If yours is the only fire, it can also be deduced from the logs that you were present in the room when it started, so you will need an excuse not to report or extinguish it immediately.

Besides starting fires, your main goal will be to prevent the crew from fighting them:
Without Icon Extinguishers (steal/dismantle/hide) or a blueprint thereof (which happens to be very flammable), the crew will have to put their hopes in a Icon Firefighter's chances of extinguishing them manually (especially low when he's dead), upgraded fire-fighting drones (Icon Green Jelly works wonders on those) or sheer luck with sprinklers.
