think that an electrode net is going to be able to handle the data from a UV
host. If all the runners have jacks it could work very well, though.

I think it was Echo Mirage, and as I recall, those sensory depravation tanks
they used were VERY slow, and VERY dangerous, remember only a few survived
the basic training and while a decker shouldn't have much trouble with it I
doubt a mage can handle the heat.
