OK... here's an immediate flash. I don't remember anything dealing with
Matrix recording in any of the SR texts/canon. However, with the ability
to record virtually everything else that occurs or corroborate it through
another character someway has to exist to deal with recounting Matrix runs.
Option A: Your deck has a microrecorder that visually stores everything
that happens to your persona while on a run. It can record up to 80 (??)
megapulses of footage and has to take up space in either headware memory or
the deck's storage. You can then transfer it to chip and play it for
all who you wish to see it (via simsense I would guess).
OR
Option B: Another decker character spotted you as you did the run and
followed out of curiosity... greed ... whatever. This spying decker then
relates the events as a matter of turning a profit, telling you to
be more careful, whatever whatever whatever. I've seen a version of this
in one of the SR Novels... can't remember which one (surprise.) .....
but there is precedent for it.
OR
Option C: The Corp you ran against has a matrix-recording program. For
security reasons. I'm hesitant about this one cuz it makes the world
of decking alot more dangerous when a corp can record your persona for
future reference (it fits well with my character, but ....) All they
have to do is some street level footwork to get your persona from
someone else and then they 'almost' have you. But it's a possibility for
recounting a Matrix run.
That's all I thought of off the top of my head. Maybe there is an SR
source that totally contradicts me, but whatever... I'm trying... :)
I also havent read any posts after this one so it's likely that I'm just
repeating other suggestions. Oh well, the results can't be much
worse than my initial character suggestion... right? ( i hope )
anyway
peace
