Scenario: The Travellers have found their way onto an ancient Sindalian war ship. They successfully managed to manually open the air lock system and enter the ship. The reactor is still active and had enough power to keep the ship in a sleep mode. The Travellers are now on the bridge and discussing how to wake it up and test it's systems.
I'm looking for an explanation on how these items are integrated to provide a complete process/challenge to Travellers:
Security System Software (TCB pg. 152)
Anti-Hijack Software (HG pg. 64)
What I am thinking so far:
Security System Software is the difficulty to even gain access to the computer. Normally a Hard (+12) if accessing by outside port. Average (+8) if inside, like on the bridge.
Once they crack that, they will still have a challenge accessing certain functions within, like finding files, gaining authentications access to functions and authorizations to perform such tasks. These will range in difficulties hinted at on page 152 of the TCB.
As far as the Anti-Hijack software:
If I understand the verbiage it is applying an additional negative DM to any of the attempts described above when hacking a computer?
As I am typing this out I think I just answered the question. Security Software designates the skill check difficulty with Anti-Hijack software applying a negative DM to checks.
Just need confirmation.
