Why bother with stealing their deck? Get your local fixer to get
you a stealth Radio Shack, find a wannabe write the graphics code to look
exactly like the icon (remember, any decent deck has no authorization codes
for the computers to log into, that's why their illegal), then proceed to
deck. If your good enough, you'll piss off the Shadowrunners, and if not,
then the aforementioned decker whose icon you "borrowed" will be labeled a
wannabe. Which is worse????
