Icon Apprentice
Description: By attentively watching what their mentor does, the apprentice can quicky pick up the same knowledge and actions.
  • Enables the action Apprenticeship which allows them to copy a skill possessed by a player present in the room, once per game.
Learned by: Icon Stephen 5
If Icon Mush: Kept

Icon Stephen's signature skill which, at last, turns the badass cook into an interesting and useful character. The fact that another crewmember has to have the skill you want to learn, and be alive and active to teach it, makes it less suited for filling in holes, but it does serve well as a back-up if you need more people with crucial everyday skills like Icon Pilot or Icon Technician.


For personal Glory from fighting aliens, Stephen has an incentive to learn Icon Astrophysicist to increase the number of expeditions, and Icon Survivalist or even Icon Botanist to secure a place on the team.

To just help the ship, in a general way, the best support skill would be Icon Logistics Expert.


Most of all, though, this skill can be used in very interesting ways when copying rare signature skills, as in having two Icon Genius crewmembers, two Icon Shrinks boosting morale, two Icon Trackers comparing lists, seven cameras from Icon Paranoid, or up to twelve hydropots from two people with Icon Green Thumbs.

Effect of Icon Mankind's only hope doesn't stack, but if Chun is inactive and die soon you can replace her.


Using your apprenticeship skill costs 1 Action Point, and it gives you a list of the skills available in the room for you to pick, similar to the normal skill selection.
