Title: Decompiling an Agent and stopping a bomb through the matrix
Post by: PiXeL01 on <06-22-14/1849:23>

My runners encountered a RCC being run by an Agent program with some pretty advanced orders (through a small local host emulation - yes, I know rcc can't run hosts programs).
Now once the "host" is accessed the agent will request a password if it isn't given a 60 second countdown beings.

My questions are:
What steps are needed to gain ownership of the agent and decompile to gain access to its memory?

How do you stop a bomb from the matrix? Nuke the countdown program?

You're pretty much into GM fiat territory here mate.
As soon as you're running a host on an RCC you're way off the rulebook.

-I'd say cybercombatting the Agent would be fine, or a TM could decompile it at a stretch

-realistically why would a bomb be on the matrix? by RAW, you could just brick the bomb with data spike. destroy the electronics and you stop the ignition process. say on a crit glitch the attack code sets the bomb off? :-)
