Thanks Bull for your help.


O.k. since I'm the GM (heh heh heh heh). Here are my house rules on the
subject. I admit these are rather hastily drawn up, but anyway.

1) Jacking in directly into a brain. This can be done by any two characters
with *datajacks*, and *datasoft links*. Chipjacks, VCR's, Simsense, or
other just won't cut it.

2) The doing the jacking in MUST acquire a deck, or computer with memory
larger than the headware memory, AND special diagnostic programs designed
specifically to analyze headware memory. Other kinds of programs, like
Browse might have code that could damage the headware memory, or injure
the deckee. This special code has been designed to a "softer touch" once
inside. These programs can be acquired legally over the shelf or be
designed by anyone with a computer skill (TN=6) or the cybertechnology
skill (TN=4).

What the decker can access:

3) All the decker will be able to access will be the headware memory. He
will be able to perform all standard read/write options. Note:
implanting hypnotic suggestions can be done but the coding of the actual
suggestion requires BOTH the computer (or C-tech) AND psychology skills.
Apply the usual skill web modifiers as appropriate.

4) The decker will NOT be able to access the actual brain type memories.
He will be able to "hear" the surface thoughts and emotions.



Well that's my take on it, feel free to flame away.


Regards

Bill
