I have a feeling that I'm wrong about this one, but I think it would actually end the
combat (much like a GAQ). If a rigger is using a drone and you Whoops! his piloting, he
replaces the drone in combat because he can no longer operate the drone. I would think
that the same would apply to the decker. Since he no longer has a decking skill, he can't
use the Black Hammer program anymore, and without the Black Hammer, there is no combat.
