When you draw a State, it appears in the Network. (Characters can perform tasks on cards in the Network from any location.)

States in the Network can affect characters at any location.

States can appear at a location if this is specified in their revealed effect. States at a location affect all characters at that location.

When all hacking cube slots of a State are covered, it is defeated and discarded. (This counts as completing.)

Effects can place Secrets on a State. Each Secret increases all difficulties, threat values, and retreat values of that State by 1.
