Matrix rules

I’ve been running rpg for many years and still have a copy of 1st and 2nd edition shadowrun. Back then I just used npc for decking as I thought it just seemed too separate to rest of characters. just about to start 6th edition campaign and think matrix use a lot more integrated but rules still bit of a head scratcher. does this sound about right?

target is a security host behind the public host.

  1. Decker access public host, no roll required.

  2. He makes a matrix perception test to locate the security host (as host lacks willpower it just resists with sleaze?)

  3. decker probes security host (rating 3)

  4. decker back doors security host Gaining admin access to security host

  5. decker makes a matrix perception roll to say find a security camera in main hall

  6. the active patrol IC makes a matrix perception roll (dice pool?), it succeeds and host launches blaster

  7. decker makes a control device roll to loop the feed on the security camera

  8. the blaster attacks the decker attack rating 3, dice pool 6

  9. decker attacks blaster using data spike. Decker wins

  10. Meanwhile rest of party in firefight

  11. decker makes control device roll against heavy machine gun being used by one of guards. Defence is security host firewall plus ?

  12. decker ejects ammo belt from gun
