The important thing is that you can say "1A" instead of "one unit of 
Amplitude", which is very useful when listing things like Talisman 
prices. I have never seen Angstroms denoted as "A*", only as an A with 
a ring above it. The Angstrom (really ångström, but I'll bet those 
characters look different on other machines) is a unit of distance, 
1e-10 m, and for physical waves (such as a vibrating string), amplitude 
is measured in units of distance.

I'm irked that the phrase "iambic pentameter" does not fit itself.

Oh, I forgot that Duties don't have Perks anymore; that should probably 
be readded at some point. Assuming we put back Perks, then Bounties are 
just Duties that never Require Attention.

The Rules say Tweaks exist, and so they're Game Objects by definition. 
The section is still called Emergencies because Tweaks are still the 
emergency equipment, and are more geared towards that than Executive 
Tidiness. The power is broad because it has to be able to fix 
absolutely anything that goes wrong.
