Computer Hardware & Networking
This is the character's skill at assembling and repairing computer hardware. However, it's much deeper than that.
The character can reverse engineer based on the parts presented and can create or even improve the hardware as
long as he has the proper laboratory to handle such a delicate situation. The character knows on a very low
level the basic operation of computers and can handle any aspect of the hardware. At the lower skill levels, the
character works with personal computers. At the higher levels, the character understands computer networking
and the protocols involved. He can repair routers and other computer machines used in creating efficient networks.
This skill does not exist in the past. In the future, the technology is likely the backbone of any operation.
