Here is another one, Probably easier, Use a Control Thoughts spell and get a
faithfull employee of the corp to take in a small transmitter/reciever and
plug it into a data plug, and hey presto long range matrix conection.
Or for the nearly all virtual way you could write a small progamm to make a
back door into a system, find an employee with headware memory + datatjack.
implant the prog into the memory and next time the poor git accesses the
appropiate system, hey presto a free back door! ( I am not sure what kind of
spec this prog would be coz I lent a friend VR2)
