Yeah, I was thinking about that also, but I wasn't sure how I could work it
without screwing the decker. There are two ways one could handle this.
First, to make a roll using the security rating of the node against twice
the decker's computer skill. This test would be performed every week, and
any sucesses mean that someone notices a problem. Whether they erase it, or
ignore it, or start trying to hack it is up to the GM. If the GM wants to
make it even more difficult to hack the harder systems, increase the
frequency of the test depending on the rating of the system. Blue: Every
month. Green: 2 weeks. Orange 1 week: Red 3 days. Sound better?
