He-Man can hack a commlink and then unsubscribe the poor sap carrying it and then subscribe himself. His own commlink and the target commlink must both be within each other's signal range.
Once the target commlink is hacked He-Man uploads his hacking programs and uses the target commlink to hack into building security which is within the target commlink's range but not his own personal commlink's signal range. He-Man now has 1 global PAN (so he can be hacked and traced normally) but his range is now based on the signal rating of *either* commlink. This seems valid to me, am I missing anything? The only thing I can think of is that a commlink subscribing a second commlink would violate the only-one-firewall rule, which possibly would require unloading the firewall on the target commlink (its a program, after all) and then hacking in using his personal commlink's firewall as the PAN firewall. Legit or not? |
