Jacking in changes everything
The interface switches to a full terminal: green on black, its own verb
set, its own rules. You are somewhere else, and the room you left is still
around your body.

Hacking is a game, not a dice roll
Nodes present one of three challenges — ICE-layer bypass, cipher-lock
sequencing, or routing a path through a live network graph. Each uses a
different skill as its lever. Higher rank gives you more actions, not an
automatic win: preparation beats brute force.

Failure has teeth
A successful breach yields real intelligence — lore, faction dossiers,
research that feeds back into what you can build. A failed one fires
Black-Ice, and Black-Ice is not a metaphor.
