SST - Brain Bug Psychic talents

[Trigger]

Just reading over the Psychic talents for Brain Bugs and other Arachnids, and wanted to make sure i was reading some of these right. Some say they REQUIRE a READY action and some say AS a READY action. Are some of these in the Arachnid Army Book Talents use on 1 Ready Action and Others on 2 Ready Actions?

Can someone possibly list which ones are just 1 READY action to use the Talent and which ones need 2 READY actions? (If i'm reading this right)

 

[Trigger]

I went way back in some of the other SST questions and found the Rupture answer so am I to assume all these Arachnid abilities take 1 READY action to do?

I was waiting to see if one of the officials or playtesters jumped in, but as they haven't:
Psychic Talents require either one READY or one SHOOT action to perform, as stated in the descriptions. None of them need the user to use a prior READY action.

Well first I would suggest reading the rule per the rule book word for word to see specificly what it says.

HOWEVER, should there be no specifics on this particular point perhaps common sense should rule the day.

For Example...

Big Bug sends Little Bug a message.

Would it not depend on the nature of the message and any required actions by the Little Bug.

If Big Bug sent to little bug say the message please report on the status of whatever then that would require a ready and send on the part of the big bug. If you allow for an always on/kind of sort of allowance for telepath reception the Little bug then has to also ready and send the reply . Thus two moves or possibly more for the action to take place.

IF, on the otherhand the Big Bug sends the simple direct message of 'Attack' then the only prep and send would be that of the Big Bug because the only thing the Little Bug has to do is to react to the receiving of the message/no conformation being necessary.

So unless the official rule book says specificly differently, what I am saying in brief is that would it not depend on the situation and the nature of the communication.
