That's right boys and girls, its that time of the week!

1)Can a Technomancer's Sprite perform multiple tasks at once? For example, could a Sprite perform both the Assist Operation task and the Sustain Complex Form task at the same time? If so, could a Sprite perform multiple Assist Operation tasks at once?

2)Can multiple different Assist Operation tasks (either from the same Sprite, depending on Question 1, or from different Sprites) be used on a single Complex Form? For example, could a Technomancer with Rating 6 Stealth thread it to Rating 12, have a Rating 6 Sprite push it further to 18, and then have another Rating 6 Sprite push it to 24?

3)Dependent on a Yes for Question 2. What about when Linking is involved? Can I Link multiple different Sprites to use Assist Operation on a single Complex Form?

4)Multiple Icons, and Sprites “must remain with the technomancer�. As any Matrix user can I can have multiple Icons in different nodes. Does this mean that an unregistered Sprite must remain with one of these icons, or my currently active icon (i.e the one I am perceiving through)? A quick example. I have a Drone I want one of my unregistered Sprites to babysit in case of enemy hackers. Can I have an icon active in that Drone (using one of my subscriptions) and then throw icons about elsewhere (doing my hacking thing) without the Sprite having to resort to using a Remote Task? Or would the Sprite follow my active Icon about the nodes I travel in?

5)This one is a bit of a GM decision but I am wondering on Dump-shocks opinion. My Technomancer is quite quickly building up a backlog of Nuyen, and so I have been thinking of things to spend it on other than more Agents and Drones. First, I have managed to get myself access to a supplier of Neocortical and Limbic Neural Amps (Pg. 110 Augmentation). I also have access to the Focus Reality Amp (Pg. 189 Unwired). Can I combine the two of these and gain the benefit of Neocortical and Limbic even when under stress? The Focus Reality Amp should keep me calm, so I cannot see why not. (I am aware that this is an expensive way to get some extra dice, if I had a Nanohive it would be even better, but I don't. I am also aware I open myself up to Addiction with this. Hoping my high Willpower will let me fight off the worse of it.) My game is not playing with the Nanotech + Technomancer optional rules.
