The bonus grant by the R.F. is only because it is always
the seam iconography for the matrix and then it is easiest
for the Decker character to understand it.
The black Ice do physical damage only on Hot mode because
on this mode it is the deck component who is regulating the
all the life support brain functions ( heart pulsation ,
respiration etc…) The Black Ice try to kill the Decker by
corrupting this functionality of the deck.
