  • Acquisition Cost: 5 XP | 30,000 Dollars | 300 Credits
  • Digital Noise Generated: 5
  • CODA Cost: 5
  • Requirements: Network Connection
  • Subroutine Traits: Implant Virus
  • Range: 100 Meters / Network
  • Target: An uninfected digital device, local network, cybernetically enhanced individual or robot. 
  • Turn Portion: Action

Effect: The Target must Roll an Intellect Saving Throw. The DC is equal to your Subroutine Save DC. 

Failure: If the Target Fails the Saving Throw they are infected with the “bloodhound” Virus, which has the following effects.

  • The infected device, individual or robot is tagged in the GPS or APS system used in your realm. Until they are no longer infected with this virus you can track their position using this system within 50 Meters of their exact location.

The Target cannot be tracked while deep underground(10 more meters underground) or completely within a faraday cage(any ferrous metal cage-like structure surrounding the target).

Success: If the Target Succeeds on the Saving Throw they are unaffected and uninfected. The user’s Turn Portion and CODA are still spent.

Overpower: Spend 1 additional CODA to: 

  • Add +2 to the Save DC for this instance of the Subroutine.
  • Add +25 Meters to this instance of the Subroutine’s Range.
  • Increase the Accuracy of the Positional Tracking of this subroutine by -10 Meters, so you can track the target's location within a smaller area(within 40 meters after first overpower).

You can overpower as many times and in as many ways as you can afford to do so.
