Midgard Shield
Routine
Image | ![]() |
Type | Defensive System |
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. |
