In our game last night the Hacker (a non computer person) found it hard to grasp how things should work when getting into the ship’s computer system. This morning I did a couple of diagrams that I think will help him out next week.
They don’t translate well to pictures but I have them as .ODG, and PDF files if anyone want’s them in my GDrive.

Has the Hacker read the Matrix chapter? Was there anything in particular that was unclear to them?
I suspect this goes back to his other post, that much of the group he plays with because of the club he is with wont read the book, because its a ‘story game’ and they shouldnt have to.
It’s really not a question of reading the chapter (he’d read the playbook but not I think the Matrix chapter) more the terminology was outside his experience at 18 and a theatre major. I had to explain a manifest to some of the players who had no idea what one was and why we would be updating it to include an extra item in game. The MC and I are in our sixties and both from a computer background, some of the players are in their forties and with office experience but others are barely out of school – late teens, through early twenties, and have little experience to base their knowledge of office/business procedures on
Interesting!
