Novos System Updates
Item
| Image |  |
| Description | Even the best system administrators rarely install updates as fast as they come out. And the poor administrators may never install updates at all, which makes having access to a bunch of updates potentially useful for looking for holes in their systems. It's also, of course, handy if you want to protect yourself from Novos systems' attacks. So, it's a bit of a double-edged sword. |
| Type | Data |
| Use | You apply the update, hoping it'll keep you on top of things for at least a little while. Frankly, they usually send out several updates a day, so it might not be long before the other side catches up. Or, if you have a different Patching Effect active: You're already up-to-date in theory. Applying another patch on top of it will probably just make a mess of things. (not consumed, no effect) |
| Multi-use | You let the updates start applying. It'll take a while for them all to churn through, but hopefully they'll keep you secure for the time being. Or, if you have a different Patching Effect active: You're already up-to-date in theory. Applying another patch on top of it will probably just make a mess of things. (not consumed, no effect) |
| Result | You've gained 20 duration of Security Patched. |
