+  * This party have been exposed to sufficient secrets about Ship Hearts (both from this mission or by sharing previously gathered knowledge) that they are permitted to spend XP as usual to acquire the Expertise or Additional Expertise ability in 'Ship Hearts' if they are a Specialist, or likewise the 'Knowledgeable' General ability - something that is not usually permitted.
+    * Note that this is primarily for flavour if you want it, and does not confer any additional IC knowledge beyond what you have learnt in play. In this sense it is mechanically weaker than taking these abilities in a 'normal' field. This is mostly for bragging rights, or getting the refs to remind you of details you have learnt IC but forgotten or misunderstood OC.
+    * For example, you could use Expertise 'Ship Hearts' to empower the Experienced Tinkerer ability to let you restart a Tinkering on a Ship Heart. However, you could not use Expertise 'Ship Hearts' to get an answer to the question 'how do I make a new ship heart' (unless you had already learnt the answer IC).
