Watchdog 610eb
Class: Detection/Alarm
Strength: 4 MU: 5
Watchdog is designed to alert its owners to
illegal entries into the system. It can do this by
activating an external alarm or by sending a message to
an occupied workstation. Netrunners can use Watchdogs to
patrol another part of the Net, such as a rival's
computer system, then key the Watchdog to run to their
cybermodem or workstation if security is breached. This
technique allows you to guard your secret files and
pathways in other people's computers.
ICON: A large, black, metal dog. It has
glowing red eyes and a spiked metal collar adorns its
neck.
Bloodhound 700eb
Class: Detection/Alarm
Strength: 3
MU: 5
Like Watchdog, Bloodhound is designed to detect
illegal system entries. However, it also tracks the entry
to its source and alerts its masters to the location of
intruder. Like Watchdog, Bloodhounds can be set up to
watch a part or the Net and report back to you at another
workstation or modem.
ICON: A large, gun-metal gray hound
robot. It has glowing blue eyes and wears a thick circlet
of blue neon as a collar.
Pit Bull 780eb
Class: Detection/Alarm
Strength: 2
MU: 6
The most advanced form or the Watchdog series,
Pit Bull not only tracks the intruder to its source, but
also cuts the line after acquiring the location. It will
continue to cut the line every time the intruder logs on
from that point of entry, requiring him to move to
another phone line or cybermodem. Like Watchdog, Pit Bull
can be set up to watch a part of the Net and report back
to you at another workstation or modem.
ICON: A short, heavily built, steel dog
robot. It has glowing red eyes and wears a thick circlet
of red neon as a collar.
SeeYa 280eb
Class: Detection/Alarm
Strength: 3
MU: 1
SeeYa is designed to detect invisible ICONS
within the range of one Subgrid. This includes programs,
hidden Netrunners and things hidden by Invisibility in a
virtual reality.
ICON: A shimmering silver screen.
Hidden Virtue 280eb
Class: Detection/Alarm
Strength: 3
MU: 1
Hidden virtue is a Rache Bartmoss design used to tell
"real" ICONs from other objects in a virtual
reality. For example. HV could tell the difference
between a real person and a virtual one or which book in
a virtual library is really a data file.
ICON: A glowing green ring which the
Netrunner looks through.
Speedtrap 600eb
Class: Detection/Alarm
Strength: 4
MU: 4
Speedtrap is an early warning program that detects the
presence of an offensive program within 10 squares of the
Netrunner's position (within the same subgrid). It cannot
tell you where the program is, only that it exists.
ICON: A flat, glowing plate or glass, in
which images appear. If a program is present, the plate
fills with the image of a robotic monster. If there is no
program present, the plate remains blank.
