Scavenge

Scavenging is like dumpster diving, only better. Scavenging takes 3 forms. The first is hacking up the corpses you might come across in your travels. With a blade type weapon you can hack <part> from <corpse> to obtain body or other parts. For instance

hack skin from crackhead

The second use for scavenging is looking for items or secret passages in your surroundings. The higher your scavenge skill, the better you will be at finding hidden paths and objects. To do a search of your surroundings, simply type

search

The third use for scavenging is to break down items into their core components. It will help greatly to have a schematic to work from. The higher your skill at scavenge, the better chance you will have at not destroying the item utterly, and the more of its raw materials you can retrieve.
