-===== Siphon =====
+====== Siphon ======
+[{{ siphon.png|Siphon icon}}]
-This article is a stub.
+**Siphon** is a [[:daemons:|daemon]] which, when triggered, reduces the agency's [[:PWR]] by 2--5. The amount of PWR drained is random. If Siphon would drain more PWR than the agency currently has, then it is drained to 0.
+===== Strategy =====
+Siphon is usually a relatively weak daemon; the cost of hacking a device with Siphon installed is usually equivalent to using your [[:programs:#breakers|breaker program]] one or two extra times.
+Siphon is most harmful when you are low on PWR but not at 0. To mitigate its effect, you can use up the PWR you have before hacking a device with Siphon installed, so that there is no PWR left for Siphon to drain. You will still be at 0 PWR afterwards, but at least you can get some use out of the PWR instead of just losing it.
+When playing with [[:agents:Central]], Siphon is strictly beneficial to the player, because it causes her [[:augments:Antiviral Proxy]] augment to generate at least as much [[:PWR]] as Siphon drains.
