From Jackpoint

I like these a lot! Couple questions:

  1. What's the interval on the extended test for finding candidates?
  2. Once you have a candidate, how do you keep it? Does it decay? Can you log off without losing it?
  3. Same question but for purified nodes

The Candidates are lost or float away if you leave them alone, so no jacking out. There's some verbiage at the beginning of the section. Time has no meaning in the foundation, sorry. I should figure out purified nodes, but probably kept. --MaltaTalk 00:56, 4 February 2022 (EST)

Oh, right, the "interval" is the Risk roll. That's actually pretty cool. Followup question: If you find a candidate can you purify it before finding the other candidates? I would assume so, but the wording "Once all 7 nodes have been found" throws me off. — Jynx(Talk) 01:03, 4 February 2022 (EST)

Also, are any of these rolls Matrix Actions? Matters for things like Hot-Sim, Running Silent, Noise, Booster Chips and Primed Charge. — Jynx(Talk) 01:06, 4 February 2022 (EST)

Little rework to answer some questions, and a term change to avoid a Pure Candidate being an unpurified node. This is as much a Matrix Action as any other Foundation. --MaltaTalk 08:31, 4 February 2022 (EST)
