You attempt to access a local network, known as an infosphere, to come up with information on a topic. This typically takes 10 minutes of research to find information, with results like Recalling Knowledge on a topic. Larger investigations or topics could require several hours, while single-word answers of information common to that settlement's infosphere may only take a minute, based on the GM's discretion. Significant and longer investigations should use the research subsystem (GM Core). The GM determines the DC based on the topic you're researching. This can be further influenced by the quality of the local infosphere and what information it might possess on the topic, and how well organized it is.

You perform a basic task using a digital device, such as operating a basic program or playing a vidgame. You might also use this if the device you're using has a physical component, such as 3D-tracking or requiring specific motions to activate features. The GM determines the DC based on the action you're taking.

This action allows you to disarm a trap or another complex device. Often, a device requires numerous successes before becoming disabled, depending on its construction and complexity. An infiltrator's toolkit is helpful and sometimes even required to Disable a Device, as determined by the GM, and sometimes a device requires a higher proficiency rank in Thievery to disable it.
Your Thievery check result determines your progress.

You try to access, control, or change an active secured system. In most cases, this attempt is made against a local computer system that you access directly or indirectly through use of a hacking toolkit. Attempt a Computers check to determine if you can access the targeted system. Computers with improved systems might require multiple successes to access.
