This host's foundation is of tremendous importance, as the Slave node allows any user to apply marks that persist despite reboots, which is very important for a major city's traffic control system. The archive contains traffic history, old operational documents, and old user data. The foundation's portal is checked weekly for anchors during routine maintenance to protect against sabotage. Because of the lives and money involved in this host's operation, intrusions will not be taken lightly if they are detected.

	The vast majority of vehicles on the road are not slaved to GridGuide, but they are usually triple-marked by it so that GridGuide can issue commands to autopilots when necessary. All vehicles with a gridlink will be accessible through this host as a result of their being connected to the host via induction cables in the road, even if their wireless function is disabled; the only vehicles that will not be accessible through this host are vehicles that have their electronics completely turned off, vehicles that lack a gridlink, and vehicles not on the road.

Many, many devices all across the Seattle 'Plex are slaved to this host, and many more are constantly connected to it. Getting a backdoor into Traffic Control is as easy as popping a panel on a traffic light open and clamping a data tap to the exposed wires. Because it's so easy to infiltrate Traffic Control, it runs industry host protocols, meaning you still have to contend with its firewall and intrusion countermeasures if you want to hack anything remotely. It's a tough enough host that it takes a serious hacker to make any real progress inside, and the threat of Mitsuhama deckers turning your brain to mush is very real. In short, its security against physical access is almost nonexistent, but its cybersecurity is formidable.

			Most people don't interact with GridGuide in that fashion, though. The typical use case is that a gridlinked car invites three marks to Traffic Control every time it starts up, and it stays connected via a series of induction cables in the roads that simultaneously power it. GridGuide then sends navigation data to the car's autopilot, which follows its instructions. In the event of an emergency, the host will take the Control Device action on the car with its three-mark authorization, such as to stop it short of a collision it knows is about to occur due to traffic conditions the autopilot can't see yet. Drivers are free to switch to manual control, which overrides the autopilot, but GridGuide always has the power to override manual control with remote control if necessary.

			Needless to say, this is a liability to shadowrunners and other criminal elements. As a result, gridlink overrides are a common upgrade to criminal vehicles. Overrides allow a vehicle to use GridGuide without granting marks to Traffic Control, preventing it from using Control Device. They also regularly switch the vehicle's identifiers to confuse the system so this illegal activity is not noticed and becomes much harder to track down even when looking for it intentionally.

	Patrol and Bloodhound will be running at all times. As a destination host		Patrol and Bloodhound will be running at all times, with others kept in reserve. In emergency response mode, the host will spawn the highest priority IC in its IC Tray (see table). As a destination host, it will spawn each IC type per attacking persona at the start of each combat turn, though IC will not interact with any persona other than the one to which they are assigned.

			IC will not attack unless a hacker succeeds in an Attack action or fails a Sleaze action. If a hacker does not fight the IC or attempt any further illegal activity, the host will not enter alert, and the IC will stand down. Continued attacks will cause the host to enter emergency response mode; for each attack after the first a host suffers in a combat turn, its Firewall increases by 1 for 2 combat turns. If a hacker's attacks persist longer than 1 combat turn or the host gains 2 marks on them, a spider will be alerted.

			Personas with only 1 mark are not subject to Patrol IC scanning.

There are no spiders on active patrol in this host, but if a spider is alerted, one will appear within a combat turn or two. The first spiders called in will be new acquisitions, deckers brought into the corporation via one of the numerous subsidiaries MCT has purchased in recent years, and so they will lack the experience and firepower of a Zero-Zone veteran. However, if you continue to cause trouble for long enough, a more veteran decker may be called in from corporate security duty for a bit, and they will immediately escalate to lethal force, having no sympathy for you.

Personas are free to fly above the city at blistering speeds, zipping from location to location in an instant. Solid surfaces can be touched to pull up a registry, allowing searches for gridlinked vehicle icons by Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), license plate number, or other identifying features.

Inside, users will find themselves in a lush, green landscape with a Salish art style emphasizing eco-friendliness. Device icons are laid out across the scaffolding such that it roughly corresponds with Seattle's map.

====IC Behavior====
Patrol and Bloodhound will be running at all times. If the host is alerted, it will deploy the highest IC in the load order (see IC Tray, leftmost is highest priority). Note that because this is an industry host, IC will be deployed at the ''ends'' of combat turns, not the beginnings. This represents the slower response times resulting from the host's protocol disallowing direct connections. IC will take the form of animals, such as a hawk for Patrol.

At the location corresponding with the Bellevue HQ in the Power node's landscape, there is a long, wooden shed. It will look plain from the outside, but someone knowledgeable about Salish culture will know that the Salish don't care for displaying status symbols on the outsides of their houses. This is the icon for the HQ node, which is nested inside the Power node. The inside is made to look like the inside of a Salish shed, which consists of multiple rooms and fire pits along with crests, carvings, and totemic paintings.

====IC Behavior====
Patrol will be running at all times. If the host is alerted, it will deploy the highest IC in the load order (see IC Tray, leftmost is highest priority). IC follow normal behavior patterns.

====Devices====
This node protects the security devices at the Gaeatronics Bellevue headquarters, including cameras and drones. Unlike the Power node, this host does allow direct connections to slaved devices for users inside the host. In addition, any merchant, employment, or operational records in use can be found here.

====Spiders====
A security decker and a security rigger will be here as well as any employees currently working.

==Physical Integration==
This host has prolific physical integration. Numerous devices all across Seattle are slaved to it - more than can be reasonably guarded. As a result, getting a direct connection is quite easy. Once inside, however, all devices are protected by the host's attributes, so it's not like some two-bit decker who climbs an electrical pole can cause a city-wide blackout. Furthermore, the devices in the Gaeatronics HQ are in a nested host, so getting a backdoor into that will require hacking a device at its physical location rather than any device in the city. Anyone who does will be rewarded, though, as the HQ's host is a standard data host.

==Foundation==
This host's foundation is of tremendous importance, as the Slave node allows any user to apply marks that persist despite reboots, and again, this host protects all public power infrastructure in Seattle and the Gaeatronics Seattle HQ. As a result, the foundation is checked weekly for anchors during routine maintenance. Lives are on the line, not to mention the power grid contract for the city-state, so expect opponents to guard the foundation vigorously.
