The Hardpans public access node is a neon adorned room with several icons Squaw serving programs (basic processing agents) and a single Sioux Warrior (IC) guarding the entrance to the back rooms (access for priviliged users).

Among the nodes you easily spot the passive node of Sandy's commlink - cheap set with decent OS (Sony Emperor w/Iris Orb: Response 2, Signal 3, System 3, Firewall 3). You stored her AccessID

Hacking on the fly you managed to brak into the node going for admin priviliges. Disabled the alarm and searched for paydata. It seems that she is not storing anything on the commlink. You found however traces of frequent accesses to the HardPan node. One of them literally from several seconds ago.

You cleared the traces of your presence and unsubscribed for the commlink node.

You scanned the HardPan node more carefully. It seems that nexus is set upon Renraku Retailer Hub system with basic stats of Response 2, Signal 2, System 3, Firewall 4. The door is a scultpure of analyzing program blocking access to the parts of the node restricted to the users while the Warrior is a version of Rumpelstiltskin IC designed to actively harrass any failed attempt to break in.
The procedure to enter now would be to spoof the door program with Sandy's AccessID or to hack in the fly the node system to create yourself a back door. For any rolls assume that the system is on alert.
