Something occurred to me about these two powers that could possibly make them usable together in a complementary way. Machine Ghost allows for reading of data from a computer but no control or reprogramming. Electrokinesis can manipulate up to 12 controls on an electronic device per melee. So my question is would a single key on a computer count as a single control function? This would allow a psi with Machine Ghost and Electrokinesis to enter data onto a computer--albeit at an extremely slow rate. Same thing for opening keypad controlled electronic locks and such, 1 keystroke per control function.
Does this sound legitimate?

Per NMI's Index:
Every aspect of the "hacking" section beginning in the 2nd Rifter's 27th page (including the new classes, like Coalition Digital Reaper, or Cybermancer, and some new spells) are all CANON.
Powers like Electrokinesis and Machine Ghost are dealt with along with many other abilities, in regard to how they pertain to manipulating machine's computer systems.
You also get the stats of AIs and how you can combat them using pretty much a standard combat system.

Re: Electrokinesis and Machine Ghost
There is text concerning hacking in both Rifter 2 and the AU:GG book.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
