Been two years since I ran an SR4 game and I can't remember what the Response or Signal for an Agent program is if a hacker uploads it independently onto a node.

If it were on the hackers commlink, said commlink's attributes would be use. While Unwired offers some sample nodes for various hubs, there is no listing for say a warehouse security system.

I anyone can point to where in the rules this is listed that'd be a big help.

I *think* that Agents use the Matrix attributes of the device they run on, and their rating (up to 6) for attributes. But I haven't played 4e in a looong time, and I don't have my books here, so I may be completely off target here.

Ok, SR4 is my game, so I'll look this up.

Agents are covered in SR4A, pp. 234 - 235 and SR4 Unwired, pp. 87, 100, 111 - 113.

From what I'm reading, it would use that node's Response and Signal ratings.

Thanks for the reply! I kinda figured that, but I'm also wondering what would be a good default rating to the (Warehouse) Node in question?

Any recommendations for this would be appreciated--just go with a gut rule calling, I'm easy to live with (or so I tell people ).

Thanks to everyone who replied!

PS--

SR4 is my jam as well

Where's the warehouse? That's going to vary a lot - a warehouse on the edge of the Barrens and a warehouse inside an MCT Zero Zone are going to have very different ratings.

It'd be an artificial island in the Puget Sound--Seattle 2072 says several were built there along with the five naturally occurring ones. I figured Ares (the company the runners were going against) created it to have a shipping hub that they could load cargo onto and then off of with greater ease than going onto land with a shipping container.

I won't go into the backstory of the adventure but that's a decent summary.

At least Rating 5 then.

That sounds fair then.

Thank you for all the help.
