Spider 6.0 / SurfStream 3.0a (NET Software)

These two work together:

    Spider discovers the sections/nodes of the CURRENT system.
    SurfStream rides a datastream to a section you have discovered.

Spider, no target needed:

    run Spider 6.0

Lists every section of the host you are currently inside, marking
which ones are already known from earlier this session. Discovery is
SESSION-SCOPED -- it clears when you jack out.

SurfStream, once you know a section's name:

    run SurfStream 3.0a <section>

Moves your NET avatar directly to that section -- your meatspace body
never moves. You can only ride to a section Spider has already
discovered THIS session, in the SAME system you are currently inside;
an unknown section, another host, or an external NET coordinate all
refuse cleanly. A quiet/hacked variant exists that performs the ride
without drawing attention.
