The Matrix is unknowable because it is infinite. There is always one more corner behind which things can hide, one more hole where secrets can be buried. Your job isn’t to know everything about the Matrix—it’s to know more than the people you are hunting. Or who are hunting you.

IN THE SHADOW OF DRAGONS
Shadowrunners know that the most dangerous position to have in the Sixth World is being perceived as a threat by the powerful.
