Please bear with me as I am not certain that I have formulated the correct question and description.

As I ponder more and more work for the Technomancers at my table I have started to think about the presentation of the matrix more and more. For the past few days I have been stuck in a rut. Below is a description, likely inaccurate, of a event which occurs in the matrix and what I would imagine would be the ideal "perception". Where you see stars *** are where I am *not* trying to talk about rules but only what happens. The generic term "attacks the node" is meant to be abstract. Rules are another thread.

A Matrix gang has decided to attack and vandalize the public node of a corporate office in their geographical domain. The gang attacks/hacks* the node. Assume that the gang is close , that is to say that they are within signal. Now, there is a party member who is also nearby. When she looks around on the matrix, she can clearly see the public nodes.

Do the commlinks by the gang have icons?
Can on see the commlinks commanding persona?
Are the attacks visible?
Are the subscriptions to the node visible?

What can be seen? Is vision stuck inside a node?
