Cave: The equivalent of a shooting blind, a safe spot to deck from that can
be abandoned at a moment's notice without regret. Normally a single room,
usually in a large bulding with a lot of pedestrian traffic, equipped with a
desk, a chair and an LTG port. Normally the rent or ownership (if the cave is
not a squat) will be in a dummy SIN or a Grave (see below), as will the LTG
connection, if it's not a boosted line. The ideal Cave is either a squat
with boosted Matrix access, or a Grave that points at an enemy of the decker.
The heavy pedestrian traffic provides a crowd to get lost in, to help duck
astral recons and invading SysCops.

Grave: A deceased person's SIN, kept active for illicit use. Compare the old
Southern expression "cemetary vote".

SysCop: a security decker. See Hound.
