Legacy Power: Lotus III Augment - Cyber Space
The sysop runs to his desk, to find all files gone - only a rotating Lotus image remains as a background to the otherwise empty screen.
A 5 Gift Hack Power used by Amarjeet Inderpal, created by Strazhari.
Description
The Lotus III implant has been upgraded. Sophisticated decryption & code-breaking software is pre-loaded into the implant, optimized to synchronize with the end-user's conscious attempts to crack security systems. Capable of defeating the most sophisticated systems in moments, use of this feature causes the user's eyes to display the familiar Lotus Logo as a revolving pattern on the iris. Additionally, in what we consider to be a win for our marketing team, any device compromised by our software will display our Lotus Logo in system - all the better to alert potential clients of system vulnerabilities.
System
Exert your Mind and spend 2 Rounds hacking a target Computer. Roll [[Intellect + Security]], the Difficulty of which is determined by the GM based on the security of the system you are hacking. A bar's point-of-sales system would be Difficulty 5, a major social media site Difficulty 7, and a nuclear reactor is Difficulty 9.
If you succeed, you may issue a single command to the system. This command must have a specific outcome or be a request for specific login credentials. The command you issue must be within the machine's current capabilities. For example, you cannot order a standard security camera to grow legs and walk around.
You cannot use this Power on Alien technology. Sapient targets can be hacked, but they can roll Mind to resist. Your hacking roll and their resistance roll are both Difficulty 6.

Calling Card
(Every hack you make leaves a personal "calling card" that informs anyone who uses the system that the hack occurred. This calling card is the same for all Hacks you make.)
