If you succeed, you may issue a single command to the system. This command must have a specific outcome or be a request for specific login credentials.

You cannot use this Power on Alien technology. Sapient targets can be hacked, but they can roll Mind to resist. Your hacking roll and their resistance roll are both Difficulty 6.
