These rules apply to identification scans as described in [[Identity and Identification]].
==Brainprint Scans== 
Brainprint scans of biomorphs in the field are conducted with a brainprint scanner. Unless the subject’s brain has been significantly modified in some way (serious mental trauma, head wounds, psychosurgery, heavy drug or narcoalgorithm use, etc.), this will produce a scan of the subject’s brainprint for comparison with databases, no test required. If the gamemaster determines the scan may produce a deviant brainprint, make an [[Interfacing|Interfacing ]]Test using the skill of the person or AI running the check, applying appropriate modiﬁers. If the test fails to produce a match, the subject will usually be taken in for a more detailed scan with full medical scanning gear (apply a +30 modifier to the Interfacing Test). Whether the brainprint matches up with database queries is up to the gamemaster or may be resolved with a [[Research]]Test using the skill of the person or AI running the check; the data integrity of the databases being checked may apply modiﬁers. Whether or not a brainprint gets a match, the brain scans of AGIs and uplifts are automatically identifiable as non-human; apply a +30 modiﬁer to an Interfacing Test for determining the subject’s exact nature.
===Cyberbrain and Infomorph Brainprints=== 
Scanning the brainprint of someone with a cyberbrain or an infomorph brain-state is as easy as analyzing it with brainprint analysis software. This test takes only a Complex Action. If an Interfacing Test is called for due to a potential deviant brainprint, apply a +30 modifier. Infomorphs and cyberbrained characters have the option of trying to deceive a scan with a fake brainprint plug-in.
==Nanotat IDs== 
Verifying a nanotat ID with an ID scanner is an automatic affair. Morphs that have had their nanotat ID erased or that never had one in the ﬁrst place are likely to be viewed with extreme suspicion. Morphs using nanotat ID ﬂux nanoware are unlikely to be questioned; the deception can only be detected under close medical scrutiny with a [[Medicine]]: Nanomedicine Test.
