Scan should appear in assess

[Lotion]

Currently when someone who was not scanning starts scanning by typing "scan on" or "scan" when they were not previously scanning it will echo to the room that they start scanning and put them in a nontrivial delay. This implies it should be noticeable when someone is scanning. Amos can turn on scan before getting into a situation where it is necessary and there is no way to tell.
If someone is watching you and you assess them you can tell if they are watching you, the same should apply to scan.

I have to go the other direction, Scan should not echo.

And no, you should not be able to tell if somebody has scan up with assess or any other method.

And how does watch apply? Watch is literally I AM STARING AT YOU. There is a reason you can see if watch is directed at you. And it is nice that it does not echo, It should not.

Kind of agree with this poster.

Agreed, scan should be more of a passive thing.

+3 on being a passive thing

I am both fine with
1: Scan becoming something you notice by assessing someone
Or
2: Scan not being something you can notice at all.
Either polar option I'm fine with
