As wireless information can be stolen with enough skill, effort and technology, a great deal of sensitive information may not be available via the Matrix but instead is hosted in isolated or Closed Network within an on-sight Network. It’s for this reason that a Decker must often accompany a team to the physical location to get access to the really good info. | As wireless information can be stolen with enough skill, effort and technology, a great deal of sensitive information may not be available via the Matrix but instead is hosted in isolated or Closed Network within an on-sight Network.

First step is to seek out the data files. This requires a Browse or Search skill check (minus the Tier's Firewall) and 1d6 Actions times the Tier Firewall. I.e. a Orange Tier Host that is not on alert would imposse a -3 penalty to the Decker's Matrix skill or program and would take 3d6 rounds to located it (if the decker knows what he is looking for. Just random data search double the time required). | First step is to seek out the data files.
