SCAN

Usage: SCAN
        or
       SCAN <direction>

SCAN is used to look through open exits into adjacent rooms for mobs or players. It is possible to
not see one due to poor lighting, someone being sneaky, or invisibility.

Scanning is the most useful utility for Ranged Combat, as it allows you to find mobs to shoot
without risking being in the same room. All races can only natively scan one room away from 
themselves, but CYBERWARE or equipment can change that.

Test: SPECIAL
Utility: SCANNER
Usage: SCAN <decker>

This command reveals more information about a decker than just using the analyze icon command. The
TN for this test is the opposing decker's masking plus sleaze minus your scanner utility rating. 
This does not add to your security tally. 

It can reveal details about the opposing decker's MPCP, Persona Programs, Condition and Response
Increases, based on success.
