Auto Execute
Auto Execute runs in the deck and monitors events as the persona moves around in the Matrix. When Auto Execute decides one of the programs it is allowed to handle it loads that program directally to where it applies, bypassing the user's deck's active memory, thus removing the need for large amounts of active memory. Auto Execute can handle a number of programs equal to it's rating. Programs executed by Auto Execute have +1 to all their target numbers.
Bio-Feedback
A viral type program that infests an opponent's attack programs and causes the program to induce lethal biofeedback into the infected user's simsense interface, similur to an attack from a Black IC.
Buffer
The buffer program is downloaded to the node and then executed. Once successfully executed, the decker then copies other utility programs into the buffer and set timers on when to run these programs. The rating is both how well it blends into the node and how well it can run the programs. It will attempt to execute the program a total of three times if it doesn't succeed the first time.
Crucification IC
The crucificion IC is a particularly nasty form of the paralyze gray IC. The way the paralyze functions is similar to a Tar Baby. Only if the IC is not fooled or the decker fails to damage it in combat the IC attempts to run whatever utility that was used against it in a loop back to the deck, thus locking both the deck and the decker in a processing limbo. This processing limbo is similar to a unregulated positive feedback loop in the cyberdeck, and a comma reaction in the decker. The decker appears as normal physically, unless a biomoniter is hooked up, which would immediately notice the increasing heartrate, and constant decrease of brain activity. A vidscreen display, if active, whould alert anyone watching that something was wrong, by the overlapping images and static as the deck uses more proccessing power to continue the looped utility. If the deck is unplugged from the matrix, the effect stops but, depending on when, possible brain damage and chip frying could occur. If the IC is crashed the effect stops, but the deck crashes also, giving the decker dump shock.
Hitchhiker or Tag Along
A small little program that attaches the user to another decker's persona, appearing as a subprogram for that persona.
Mini Attack
A smaller version of the regular Attack Program, does less damage but takes up less space.
Node Feedback
A handy utility that increases the traffic within the node to the point that it crashes the node, possibly destroying the physical hardware. One drawback is that the persona running the program cannot leave the node without canceling the program.
Persona Tag
The persona tag program traces the tagged persona on its trip trough the Matrix. the tag also records all passcodes used and transmits them back to the deck who activated the program after a certain time has elapsed. The persona tag can tag a number of persona equal to its rating. If discovered the Persona Tag can also be used to track down the user. All tags are removed when the decker running the program leaves the matrix.
Quick Attack
An Attack program that triggers like normal, but copies and runs itself in the node as well, causing a faster attack on the opposing decker/IC the next round, this program deactivates when the user leaves the node, or the target is defeated.
Save
A complex frame that combines the buffer, download, erase, and smart search programs to remotely download and collect data.
Scramble
An Extracted Codex from a Scramble Ice, modified for decker use.
System Ping or WhereAmI?
This program sends a signal out to the system's LTG and requests its address from the LTG. The LTG, thinking the system wants to know its own address, returns the value to the decker using the program. A useful little toy to figure out what the address of the computer system you just tapped into from the coffee station of the Ambroid Building is.
System Map
The system map program generates a general map of the system the decker excutes the program in. The program only provides connections and node types, no security classifications or IC locations can be obtained.
Tar Baby IC
The generic IC, layout. Must be customized and downloaded to the node before execution.
White IC
A generic programable IC. Immobile, more of an observer then anything else. Will not attempt to report anything unless the the IC is accessed again. Must be downloaded to the node before executed. Another fine program where the security is turned against the system.
