I was watching Alias again last night, and a classic gimmick caught my eye. Alias isn't the only show to use it, of course, it just happens to be where I saw it.
It's the kind of situation where you need information off an isolated system. Sydney Bristow (superspy mundane or close physad, you choose :) ) doesn't have the skills to hack the system; Marshall Flinckman (hacker extraordinaire and all around genius) doesn't have the skills to sneak in past the security.. So Sydney does the B&E, hooks up a little gadget to the computer, bingo, Marshall has remote access. I'm guessing it's via satellite or some such. Now, i don't have the Matrix book (and with SR4 on the horizon I admit I won't be getting it) so this may be covered in there, but is this stunt replicable in SR? |
