Proposal: Everybody get behind Eric!

Add a new Tool, the PSG:

Personal Shield Generator (2): The Personal Shield Generator (PSG) protects its user and any objects e is carrying from moderate to high speed impacts and energy beams (included, but not limited to, thrown rocks and phasers). It does not, however, protect against low-speed penetration (e.g., a dagger. cf Dune). Once a Crew Member states the PSG is turned on, it will cost em 5 Low-Grade units of fuel per day (or fraction thereof) to keep it so. In the event of a direct threat, the PSG will activate itself (if and only if it is on at the time) to defend its user at the cost of 10 Low-Grade units of fuel. This extra cost is paid at most once per 12-hour period, during which the PSG is said to be 'active' and effectively protecting against further attacks.

If and when the proposal "We come in peace" has been or is enacted, add to the description of the Phaser:

Phasers cannot be shot by a Crew Member with a turned-on PSG.
