yes aiming int attribute nearer perception (as FASA finally sorted
out in ED which has perception rather than int).
Other note is see the corp scientist contact, thats really 'bright',
int 8 (yes that is 2 over max, remember the rules for post max up to
*1.5) and skills at a similar level if memory serves. That genius, or
at least close. As to genius level skills well there is someone in
prime runners with chess at 15! [ignoring the great dragon and
sorcery at 25 etc ( no thats not an error)]
