So, with that Matrix perception, you see the host rating of the Host you are looking at is 4. With 'bought' successes on a Matrix Security Roll, you know that typical Hosts prioritize Firewall and put little emphasis on Sleaze... and have the same array as a cyberdeck. So you assume you are looking at Firewall 7, Sleaze 4. Attack and Data Processing are generally interchangeable based on the function of the Host. Of course, continued Matrix Perception tests can verify your assumptions.
That said, you are looking at probably an 11 Dice Pool for the Host to oppose your Hack on the Fly. I haven't rolled it yet. Do you want to edge that roll or are you satisfied with the 2?
@ Mercy Merchant
Anti-Tamper devics have a rating and you have 1 action to disable it before it goes off. You don't have time to check the rating. However, your knowledge of Security Procedures lets you know that it isn't better than the rating of the lock itself. Though it is probably at least 4. The rating of the Anti-Tamper device is the threshold of a single Locksmith Test, which you auto-picker cannot assist you with. So I think that's going to be your Locksmith (5) and Agility (5) with no other modifiers. If you don't cut the right wire in one go, the alarm will sound. You are in a Neighborhood between Double and Triple A. Security (Knight Errant) will arrive, if alerted, in 1d6+2 minutes. That's not a LOT of time, but it also doesn't necessarily mean you'll need to run away if you fail. I believe you have 1 in your Edge Pool remaining, however.

I assumed your spirits manifest as bird-like, birds of prey, etc. But if not, let me know what they tend to manifest as and I'l alter the text in the IC post.

Mother is invisible. You can add half of the Spirit's force to your Physical Attributes, up to 4, so long as the Attribute is naturally lower than the Force (of course, they are, for a Force 9). Of course, you are a shining light of shininess on the astral plane.

Hi! Things are tense... if everything goes well, Requiem should have little to do.
