Stuffer Shack 15496 Host
Description
This modest host serves the employees of Stuffer Shack #15496, now with drone delivery service! It's not much to look at, and its cybersecurity is on par with the building's physical security.
Scaffolding
This host's icon floats above the physical building's virtual representation on the Emerald City Grid. It looks like a 3D image of the Stuffer Shack logo, and it's always facing your direction no matter which angle you look at it from. The interior is sculpted to look like an actual Stuffer Shack location, except everything is in perfect, working order and clean as a whistle. Employee personas are expected to be in uniform while they're on the job.

This is the only location in the host. Though there is not a dedicated spider for this specific host, there are spiders working for Stuffer Shack who respond to alerts. That said, they have many hosts to protect, so it might be a few combat turns before they respond to an alert. Don't expect them to be well equipped or trained - if you're a novahot decker, you're not working for Stuffer Shack. Files on the host include work schedules, inventory, memos, and any other daily operational data that might be of use to the staff. Old stuff gets archived. A few devices are slaved to this host, including a couple security cameras that watch the building and a small fleet of drones that carry orders to customers in the delivery area.
Physical Integration
The devices slaved to this host are difficult to access discreetly. The security cameras are attached to the ceiling and in good view of any location in the store, and the drones are aerial, programmed to fly well above easy shooting range when they're deployed. Notably, the electronic locks on the building's doors are not slaved to the host, as the IT department considered it more important to prevent a direct connection hack than to protect the lock itself; it is indeed relatively easy to break in without hacking the door locks.
Foundation
If for some reason you wanted to enter the foundation of this lowly host, you would find that its logic map is laid out in an easily navigated fashion - probably to help out the poor deckers who have to do maintenance on this thing and countless other Stuffer Shack hosts to meet their quotas. It's not kept anchored though, as that would violate corporate procedure, and what good employee would hope no one notices them slack off at work other people in the office don't understand? The foundation gate is unimaginatively behind a door labeled "Maintenance."
