Syndicate Courier Case

Description
Mechanics
The cases generally have a quintessence store of 18. This is enough fore a journey to and fro with all of the features engaged. An encountered SCC generally will not have this much quintessence, unless it has just be recharge prior to a delivery. The mage selects which features to activate which then become locked on for the journey, that is until the case has been delivered and the combination correcty put in. It is possible to preset the case for 2 trips. Here, enough quintessence is stored in the case to reinitiate the preset features when the case is closed after the first delivery.Unbeknownst to the other conventions, the cases that the Syndicate have rented them have (very rarely) included the feature "Record contents" (pattern magics + mind). The Syndicate has rarely used this additional feature, keeping it in reserve for very special occasions.)
