Well, meine Kamaraden, I suppose that I have been provided a fairly good
estimation of the magnitude of the mail gateways betwixt myself and
HEARN are...
Here is the final section of the previous posting:
BUSH LEAGUE
A corporate decker working on a cyberterminal starts hunting around the
system, beginning in the node where the alert was triggered. Use the
Corporate Decker Archetype with a cyberterminal version of an
Allegiance Alpha deck with Attack 6.
MINOR LEAGUE
A Corporate Decker Archetype is sent into the system using a Fuchi-4
deck with Attack 4 and Shield 2. Persona programs are all Rating 3.
MAJOR LEAGUE
Use the Corporate Decker Archetype equipped with a Fuchi-6 deck with
Level 1 response increase. The decker also carries Attack 6, Shield 2,
and Mirrors 2. Persona programs are all Rating 5.
HEAVY HITTER
This Corporate Decker Archetype has the same experience as a Major
Leaguer, but his persona programs are all Rating 6, and his deck has a
Level 2 response increase.
E. AVOIDING COMBAT
A decker may attempt to avoid combat or disengage from current combat.
Combat can be avoided by simply staying clear of it, moving into
another node before it is too late, and so on.
Gray and Black IC, as well as opposing deckers, will probably pursue a
fleeing opponent. As long as the fleeing decker remains within one
node of the pursuer (observation range), the pursuer can easily follow.
If the decker is able to move two or more nodes away, the deck's
programs and abilities can be used to make good his escape. When the
IC or hostile decker pursues the character decker, make a test using a
number of dice equal to the IC's Rating, or the hostile decker/
persona's Sensor Attribute (no Hacking Pool), and using the fleeing
Persona's Masking Attribute as the target number. If the IC or
pursuing decker gets at least 1 success, they know exactly where the
decker went and will attempt to move there. If the test fails, they
have lost the trail, and will probably begin a node-by-node search.
If the decker shakes the pursuing IC, and the IC re-discovers him, the
decker may use a sleaze or deceive program against the IC as normal.

For those of you without the pertinent tomes, I can only hope that this
has assisted you in shedding light upon the peculiarities of the Matrix.
