Program (Int; Trained Only)

A skill with working with computers and creatures with the Bots. It allows the activation, operating, and reprogramming of these objects and creatures.

You are capable of hacking into machines you are not authorized to use correctly, though you must have access (physically or electronically) to some way of manipulating the bot in question.
