I have a question. What does gray and black ice look like when it is
dormant (non-sculpted systems of course). Does gray ice do anything if
it is the only ice in a node but is dormant? Will it act like white ice?
When it is imbeded in a laerys of ice and becombes active, does it take
precident over the white ice there?

Just some simple questions that have been nagging me. They may be
phrased badly so if anyone dose not understand just ask. I have been duing
homewok fot wayyy to loong now. :^)

I guess the way I've done it is...
-You only see gray, dormant ice if it's the only ice in the node. As soon
as you get into sensor range, it comes active to interrogate you.
-If embedded but made active, the barrier or access or whatever drops and
the gray or black ice takes over.

The same as when it is active except it has no power and doesn't move. Thus
the Samurai Killer IC would not shine and would not move.
