I corrected myself to say System but thinking back on it, unloading the OS would probably require the device to crash or reboot. What I should have done is loaded a rating 6 agent or IC directly on the node with 5 programs carried on it so the response would be penalized to 1.

As to perceptions, it WAS an ambush. The GM said I detected someone trying to breach my firewall to which I responded "I let them in". I then spent an edge to go first before the intruding Agent could wreak havoc and spoofed a command to the agent to have it go into its originating node and wreak havoc. Mental note: Combat Passes are a handy thing for keeping this stuff sorted. Another lesson learned.

Regardless of confusion on both our parts it seriously rocked to see a counter to a TM that wasn't antiwireless paint and for that KUDOS! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Would bullets get kudos also?

Smartassery aside I thought it clever.

Thanks. Network-inhibiting paint and network jammers are fun and all, but Black IC/Snowman is NUTS. Multiple datajacks trunked into the base nexus like something out of the Matrix movies, he's convinced that he (and/or Belladonna, the Agent you beat, or Jenny Noquar, the [entirely illegal] physical adept/proto-technomancer) could whoop just about anything trying to hack him. So, he kept a strong Signal rating and relays all over the base, so he could dual-overlap even a Signal 1 if it got near the outer walls, much less within. He -wants- you to come in, so he can get a stranglehold on your icon and pump a bunch of rabid snowmen into your brainpan.

Since Belladonna was programmed to follow Snowman around sometimes, and take orders, spoofing a command to go home and do something was a entirely viable move. Just wish I'd have been able to make it more dramatic, with some cybercombat, or at least a challenging dice-roll or two...
