Open source p.32Skill: Remote Control (IQ/Hard).
You can order around a computer (or computer-controlled
machine). Make a skill roll with a penalty equal to the
Complexity of the computer. If successful, it will obey your
mental commands for as long as you concentrate, and then for
minutes equal to your margin of success after you stop concen-
trating. If you fail, the system automatically locks you out; you
must wait 24 hours before trying to Remote Control it again.
Range is as for Data Retrieval (p. 30).
You are at -1 to use this ability for every computer already
under your control, cumulative with the normal penalties for
multiple feats (p. 6).

sis, -10%; Melee Attack, C, -30%) [10]. Further levels replace
