1. ↑ Cascading Triggers Rulings, Question 2
   Corp has a Sentinel Defense Program scored. Runner has Spinal Modem installed. He runs on a server, which has ChiLo City Grid installed and rezzed. He encounters an ICE with trace (say, Caduceus). The trace is successful. What's the exact order of things triggering?

   Two interpretations:

   1

   • (simultaneous) Spinal Modem (brain damage) from trace
   • (simultaneous) ChiLo City Grid (tag)
   • Sentinel Defense Program tiggering from brain damage from Spinal Modem (net damage)

   2

   • Spinal Modem (brain damage) from trace
   • Sentinel Defense Program tiggering from brain damage from Spinal Modem (net damage)
   • ChiLo City Grid (tag)
     Scenario #2 is correct.
