Lets say I have a node with the following attributes:
Firewall: 5 Response: 4 Signal: 4 System: 5 It's persona limit is 5 and it's processor limit is 5, right? Now let's say it's running an MCT Bloodhound rating 4 with Analyze and Track at all times. Does that count as three programs against the processor limit or can the Analyze and Track be run on the Bloodhound itself, since IC is sorta-kinda an agent? (or am I way off the beaten track with that idea)? Now what happens when an alert triggers and the node launches an MCT Shinobi rating 4 (Black Out, Attack, & Armor). When it appears in a puff of smoke, do all of its programs apply against the processor rating as well, causing Response to drop to 3? Thanks! |
