Let's just not get too carried away with it, it's more fun to screw up quickly than it is to endlessly agonize. We don't need to pre-plan every action. I'm not too worried, but worth mentioning!It's listed as rounds. So you'll get all your passes and when initiative is next rolled it'll get another chance to spot you. And yes, IC rolls for initiative and participates in combat - there's just no point listing its initiative until it actually spots you. Keep in mind that Matrix Perception is a complex action so it'll effectively spend its entire first turn spotting you. But once it's aware of you the host is aware of you. And once the host is aware of you all of its other IC will be aware of you.I'll give you the spec bonus to marking devices within the host, sure.You have it backwards: Placing a mark on a slaved device puts a mark on the host. But the slaved device gets to use the host's attributes for resisting the mark unless you're directly connected to it. Being in the host means you're directly connected to everything.Absolutely. Only a couple things to keep in mind: The duration is sustain. My ruling on that (based on both interpretation and balance concerns) is that when you stop maintaining the power the device reverts behavior (so - turning a camera off with Resonance Veil will only keep that camera off for as long as you're sustaining the power). Next up is that you can only target devices. See how some of the icons have both "system" and "individual" variants (like the track selection system)? The control systems are kind of like programming hubs that network all the devices together and are not devices in and of themselves - and thus can't be targeted with Resonance Veil. If no individual devices are listed (like with the speed control system) then you can target the system itself as it's one big device. Hopefully that isn't too convoluted.</blockquote>
