[FXcalibur]

The description of the jack itch flaw in the SRC indicates that a person will jack out after a number of minutes past his willpower, and does so screaming. I infer this to be a voluntary action of sorts; after all, I'd drop a bowl if it was scalding hot too.

But what if you can't jack out? What if your enemy find outs, kidnaps you and ties you up, then jacks you into something. You get the itch and horrendous pain, but you can't pull out. What happens? You pass out from the pain? Seems like a pretty horrible torture method.

What if you're using simsense? Would you still feel the itch if you were, say, decking or rigging? What if you have jack itch and you're awakened, and the Star catches you, puts you in a straight jacket, installs a datajack in you and do that simsense thing. Same as above?
