Ndisks

Ndisks are disks that can slide into an NCPU.

If you wish to do the opposite of a below disk. (exa. encrypt rather than decrypt) you can do so. You'll need a Ndisk of similar type that will cost more and it's action will cost the same as the main action of the disk.

#### List of Ndisks

Processor Level 1 tasks can be done without an Ndisk, but you have a -5 to the roll

#### Viruses

These are subsection of Ndisks meant to target NCPU's or cybernetic enhancements, uploaded through a network. For these to succeed, the uploader will make a hacking roll contested by the defender who will make a computers roll.

#### Quick script

* These are acts you can do that don't require Ndisks
* If you are in the same CPU as another user, you can instigate an intelligence contest to boot them back one terminal.

#### Hacking rules

* As a rule of thumb, actions are used to do this to other terminals, Security, and other ncpus. And bonus actions are for doing things to the terminal you're currently in.
* Networks are built like roads and buildings, you must leave a building (terminal) and travel along a road (connection) to get to the next building, and roads might go to multiple buildings and vice versa.
* Terminals are computers within a network
* Nodes are things connected to a terminal eg. a camera, or turret etc.
* If you are in a node and somebody locks you out of it. You are put back to the terminal the node is connected to.
* Custom Skills: “Hacking” (uploading viruses, attacking firewalls etc.) against “Computers” (setting up firewalls, proxy’s etc.)
* To plug oneself into a network uses a bonus action
* To bypass a security system you have to have a “bypass” of equivalent type and equal or higher level than the system you are trying to circumnavigate; these are listed in the Security Ndisk section, additionally, you must make a Hacking roll, against a DC created by a computer roll by the opposing party. (But a program will have a set DC, not a competing roll.)
* NDisks, programs a NCPU can use, you can use a bonus action to plug one into a slot.
* Hacktions, (hack-actions), additional actions only used for hacking
* A Network Scan will show the player all terminals/computers within a network. (Note: you can only see terminals along your path, this is not blocked by passwords, but it is blocked by firewalls and encrypters until broken through.) It also shows other NCPU's and, their general relation to each other in the real world if the player has a tracer disk.
* A player can do a Network Scan to remotely access other computers on a network from the one they are using, they must have an NCPU to do this. After a player has chosen to Scan a Network they are moved to a new map with the Network map on it, they will lose their sense of sight as they will now see the network. this is part of the bonus action, of plugging into a network.
* Pulling out of a system without moving back to the terminal you’re connecting from is dangerous, if the player does this, they must beat a DC equal to 6 plus the number of terminals they are away from their connecting terminal, or fall unconscious.
* When failing a hacking roll against a firewall/password etc. the dc lowers by 2 subsequent attempts (this stacks).

#### Security

*Note: All Security actions require the appropriate Ndisk*

* Encryption/Decrypter (used to make disks inaccessible)
* Cypher/Decypher (used to make “scramble” files)
* Password/Password Cracker (used to protect accounts/disks)
* Firewall/Firewall Bypass, (used to lock people out of entire networks)
* Proxy/Proxy Disable (used to hide a NCPU from the network)
* Bomb, intelligence check DC equal to 10 plus the number of terminals in a system. If successful will shut down all computers in a network, including the player’s NCPU *(See “pulling out of a system” in hacking)*
* Admin, Players must access the “Network Admin CPU” and authorise their IP to become an Admin.
* Logs/Logdeleter A player’s IP and actions will be stored on a computer unless they delete the logs manually, however in a pinch they can use a logdeleter.
* IPTracer, when a proxy has been disabled, an IPTracer can be used to know which CPU a NCPU is currently accessing
