This standard "weapon" comes in two flavors: the "soft

boot," and the "hardcore dump," A.K.A. Joshua's Goodbye

(often credited to a legendary Thig spinner). Both versions

de-rez a rival's icon and knock said rival out of the area. Many

spinners favor the non-lethal version, but HIT Marks, assassins

and Webbers who mean business go hardcore as a rule.

[Often focused through guns, blades, or even fists, the

Disruption dumps the target if its user scores a hit. Although

a normal Arete roll is still required to boot the target out, the

attacker must first hit that target normally. The "soft boot"

activates a soft de-rez, while the "hardcore" inflicts a hard

one. This procedure does not work outside the Net.]
