 This can happen if the agency runs out of [[:PWR]] with no way to generate more, such as when using [[:programs:Fusion]], or [[:programs:Seed]] with a [[:programs:breaker]] which costs at least 5\ [[:PWR]] to use. Alternatively, it can happen if the agency sells its breaker program(s). In either case, to be a true softlock the agency must have no alternative such as hacking using [[:items:Buster Chips]] or generating PWR from [[:augments]]. This can happen if the agency runs out of [[:PWR]] with no way to generate more, such as when using [[:programs:Fusion]], or [[:programs:Seed]] with a [[:programs:breaker]] which costs at least 5\ [[:PWR]] to use.

-In the [[:missions:OMNI Mainframe]] mission, [[:agents:Central]]'s [[:augments:Antiviral Proxy]] augment can usually be used to generate PWR by triggering a [[:daemon]], either by walking through the [[:mainframe devices:Infrared Emitter]] or firing the [[:weapons:Overclocked Neural DART]]. However, the softlock can still occur if the Infrared Emitter's [[:mainframe devices:Power Supply]] is controlled by the agency and the Overclocked Neural DART becomes irretrievably lost.+In the [[:missions:OMNI Mainframe]] mission, [[:agents:Central]]'s [[:augments:Antiviral Proxy]] augment can usually be used to generate PWR by triggering a [[:daemon]], either by walking through the [[:mainframe devices:Infrared Emitter]] or firing the [[:weapons:Overclocked Neural DART]]. However, the softlock can still occur if Central gets KO'd (preventing her augment from granting power), the Infrared Emitter's [[:mainframe devices:Power Supply]] is controlled by the agency and the Overclocked Neural DART becomes irretrievably lost.
