In hot sim VR she receives a +2 modifier to all her Matrix tests; so she rolls Software 3 (Threading +2) + Resonance 5 with +2 modifiers for a total of 12 dice.
What's with the (Threading +2) there? Why does she get an additional +2? Is this the oft-recommended threading skill specialization?
Also, later when Ladybug resists fading:

She makes a Damage Resistance Test rolling Resonance 5 + Charisma 5 with +2 modifiers for a total of 12 dice.
Does she get that +2 because she's in hot sim? Also, why is she rolling Charisma to resist fading? Is this like a different technomancer "tradition"? 'Cause SR4A p.243 says it should be Willpower.
Thanks in advance!
