- Digital Noise Generated: 2
- CODA Cost: 2
- Requirements: Network Connection

Effect: You erect an active firewall for the user for the next 20 Seconds(4 Rounds). While this firewall is active any Subroutines that target the user suffer a -2 Aim and Save DC penalty.
If this causes a subroutine to “miss” or fail to take effect, the attacker loses 1d4 CODA.
Overpower: Spend 1 additional CODA to:
- Increase the duration of this effect by 10 seconds(2 Rounds).
- Select another target within Range to gain the benefit of this subroutine.
You can overpower as many times and in as many ways as you can afford to do so.
