Responses to Functions

Function Message U Result
Offense = 1 You batter the shield, but don't have the power to punch through. 3
Offense ≥ 2 You batter the shield with data until it collapses under the weight of your attack. 2 Gain 2 XP
(removes routine)
View ≥ 1 then Command ≥ 2 You find the shield's software database and insert a line so it recognizes you as an approved vendor. It shouldn't bother you until the next update. 0 Gain 2 XP
(removes routine)
Command ≥ 1 You issue some commands to the shield, but it just keeps flashing "UNAPPROVED." 3
View ≥ 1 There isn't much publicly facing information on this routine. It's probably intended for Midgard use only.

Checking over it, however, it seems to combine a basic system along the lines of a Password Lock with a constantly changing database of approved software. Any function not on the list runs the risk of being shut down while the shield is running.
