ALERTS There are two different types of Alert in all Matrix systems: Passive and Active. PASSIVE - This is triggered when the system detects a Decker attempting anything illegal. This is usually when the security tally rises above a certain level. On a passive alert, all IC in the system have \%50 added to their ratings, but remain invisible and peaceful. The length of any alert depends on how much extra activity has happened after it was triggered and the security rating of the host. ACTIVE - An active alert can only be triggered if a Passive Alert has been already triggered. In an Active alert, all IC become visible and aggressive. See Also: IC, CYBERCOMBAT, SECURITY TALLY
