Faraday Cage mod?
Investigator turns on a holographic projector on a derelict ship (which already had an Uzumaki-exsurgent attack them in the Galley), the projector displays a Sensory Overload basilisk hack. How quickly does the suit seal him? Does that just make him straight up immune? Is he totally safe? Are basilisk hacks useless when the entire party puts that mod on their armor? I ruled that it would provide a bonus to the COG+INT+SAV roll, which didn't save him, so they had to decapitate the exsurgent infected brain and ego and hope they could save the body. But really, how effective is the faraday cage mod? Too effective and basilisk hacks aren't a credible threat or danger unless placed in dangerous places when being fully closed is a threat? Or what?

Gatecrashing page 158: +30 to
Gatecrashing page 158: +30 to tests to resist basilisk hacks Takes "1 action turn" to seal. Also, we didn't (I didn't, at least, maybe I misheard the other people) decapitate him, but took his entire body.

The Faraday Mod says it
The Faraday Mod says it counts as a Faraday Suit (or converts to), which is a +30 to Basilisk Hacks, so I assume it's the same modifier - same as using Analog Tools. If that's too good, that depends on how tough your Ego's psyche is. Combine it with someone in a Menton or Observer or something, and it's pretty good. EDIT: I'd also check that phrasing on "deploy", I think that's if you don't have the helmet up to allow normal mesh access. If the suit is on all the way, you're operating through the external feed period, which degrades the sensory input for the +30

Ah. So action turn to deploy
Ah. So action turn to deploy means he'd get hacked if it wasn't up when he got hit. But he could wear it a lot more and gain +30 to resist the hacks. You guys didnt specify decapitating but that would be how to scoop out brain and stack, find out that the stack is infected. And once that is determined, throw noninfected body into healing vat and sleeve the alpha fork (Molly, in the ship) into the healed body.
