Encryption I probably will get a Data sprite to do on our connection traffic. I cannot encrypt my bionode, and it's not feasible to use sprites to encrypt the nodes of the other runners, nor is it feasible for me to thread up Encrypt to do so. Slaving would mean that to hack them they would need a physical connection, and be hacking at a +2 difficulty. I have enough subscription slots to slave everyone and encrypt lines to everyone.
I could also data bomb myself but that might not be the best idea in the world.
I run a stealth CF at 8. (Remember that matrix perception on technos is at a +1 threshold to non-technos under the optional Rule "The Resonance Difference [Unwired p. 137-138]). Sometimes that number will be higher when I'm hacking due to Threading. I also run Analyze at 8.
Any data that I personally have is stored on a datachip that I carry with me at all times. Data sent by one member of the network to me will be routed to all other members of the network as long as they remain a part of it. My decoy commlink is only used for... Being a decoy. Also for non-personal, non-mission calls.
Courtesy of the Multiprocessing echo, I can "keep an eye on" a number of nodes up to my submersion grade in addition to the node I currently am active in (being 2).
I don't have as much in the way of active countermeasures given that technomancers and matrix combat tend to lead to nosebleeds and premature death. My main countermeasure is being unhackable to non-technos. Also undetectable and astonishingly vague about being traced. The only other thing I do is constantly check for matrix nodes in the area.
Tacnet wise, if I recall we currently are a team of six. So the highest bonus we can get is +4, and a rating 4 tacnet requires eight sensor channels. However, I can only provide seven channels, so a Tacnet 3 would be better, especially since I won't be receiving data from some of my channels due to slaving and encryption, requiring only six sensor channels for a benefit. It depends, how many channels can each runner provide?
Fang (Seven channels):
Via Simrig: Sight, sound, smell
Via glasses: low-light, smartlink, vision magnification
Via headphones: Spatial recogniser

Anything I missed out on?
And yes that is exactly what I did for data search. I didn't actually know anything about ACHE so I actually Googled it OOC before responding.
