These rewards apply to the group, and the group must agree to use the bonus before a PC can gain the benefits.
BUFFET CRISIS

Once during the adventure, the party can flip a boost switch to add a +4 to a single Piloting check during starship combat or a vehicle chase.
Average When using the reward above, the starship or vehicle can also move one additional hex or zone.
Hard In place of the reward above, the PCs can force the crew of an enemy ship or vehicle to take a –2 penalty to all Piloting checks made during the round. The use of this ability must be declared at the start of the starship combat or vehicle chase round.
VIP ROUNDUP
Easy After a hectic search of the grounds, the PCs locate each of the missing guests of honor. The three VIPs are grateful for the escort and give each PC a Mk 1 Serum of Healing that must be used during the course of this adventure.
Average The magnanimous Zo! thanks the PCs by gifting them a voucher for a one-time 10% discount on gear or equipment purchased on Absalom Station for the duration of the adventure. This discount does not stack with any other discount, and Table GMs should mark its use on the Chronicle sheet.
