Blog:/cyb/

Welcome to Glitch City Voices. '''This page is a work in progress! Everything may be moved, deleted, or modified at any time.''' =A Primer=

/cyb/ is a text board on the "parody of a parody" dangeru.us, which itself is based on a board of the same name and design that players can read through, in the cyberpunk visual novel/waifu bartending simulator, VA-11 Hall-a. It is a predominantly roleplaying board which is set in the "City That Shouldn't Exist" of Glitch City, a dystopian hell where megacorporations reign supreme, citizens are guinea pigs, and technology advances within weeks, not years. It's referred to in-game as "the world's guinea pig."

Originally conceived as a board to discuss cyberpunk media in all its forms, the board eventually grew into a heavily cyberpunk inspired long and shortform roleplaying board, with the majority of threads discussing events in-universe. Because of Va-11, Hall-a's vague cyberpunk background and constant references to other series (including, but not limited to, Deus Ex, Ghost in the Shell, 2064: Read Only Memories, Blade Runner, and Neuromancer), the roleplay universe of /cyb/ also grew to include other franchises, from the Metal Gear series to Invisible Inc, to especially Shadowrun. Much of the terminology, slang, and references come from Shadowrun in particular, along with its grandfather, William S. Gibson's Neuromancer.

ARGs
Instead of one overarching story that is presided over by a single GM, multiple GM's have come and gone from the active playerbase, operating their own threads, NPC's, and events. These groups came to be loosely associated with alternate reality games since their GM's often took advantage of danger/u/'s anonymity to post riddles, clues, cyphers, and encrypted messages to move their stories forward, occasionally with universe-altering results.

To prevent drama, a generally unspoken rule holds that GM's tend to avoid having their plotlines interfere with one another, but this happens anyway, sometimes resulting in a previously dangerous situation suddenly moving Up to Eleven. GM's also oftentimes reference each other's works, legitimizing each other as each player adds to the history of the universe.

=A History of /cyb/ (Circa February 2017)=

The Rise of the Phoenix Corps
Shortly after the dissolution of the tyrannical White Knights that originally reported under QUINCY (and some say Zaibatsu), a former White Knight officer by the name of Asagiri Sei, through a combination of crowdfunding and assistance from a small corporation, "Norn Inc," won a contract to retake control of the White Knights and to systematically replace Glitch City's standing law enforcement. The contract was embraced open armed, although some within the ranks of the former organization were less than thrilled. https://augmented.dangeru.us/article/1178

The Phone Booth Murders
A series of disturbing videos made their way through social media and were uploaded to the danger/u/ boards. Though grainy, the videos appear to be shot from a security camera, and depict a young woman hiding inside a phone booth from a man chasing her.

- Shortly thereafter, the phone booth bursts open, and the man is dragged inside, clearly struggling as a fountain of blood bursts from the phone booth. The girl, or at least a silhouette of her, is seen approaching the camera, which soon cuts out.

- Reports surface of random killings throughout Glitch City, but are mostly forgotten or ignored. A short investigation is launched into the demise of the man at the phone booth, who is discovered to be an off duty White Knight- the coroner of the case vanishes, and the investigation is soon dropped.

- A decker new to Glitch City decides to look into the murder, but goes missing herself, leaving behind a winding trail of cryptic messages with fearful descriptions. A certain purple haired lilim and a foxy hacker follow the trail to an old bank, which is soon destroyed by a small shadowrunner group.

-The string of murders end at last, with the horrors mostly forgotten in the wake of the following civil war.

The EDEN Civil War (Coloquially, "The 24 Hours War")
During the White Knight's original rule over Glitch City, a schism occurred led by a prominent White Knight officer, "Eve,", who left the city with a sizable number of troops and hardware.

- Beginning sometime in April 2XXX, Glitch City experienced several coordinated terrorist attacks, in addition to a series of news and media blackouts*. Rumors of the attacks being an inside job, as well as a conspiracy from within the White Knights began to flit around the Matrix when a few surviving suspects revealed sensitive information, moments before being killed.

- At least four bombings were recorded, including one that occurred in the Flooded District, and culminating with an attack on Glitch City's Central Train Station (Hammond Station?). During this attack, a client under the protection of a shadow entity was killed, motivating the organization to investigate.

- Using their significant resources, a user which only referred to itself as the  snake in the garden tracked, recorded, and released a series of phone calls in a document known as "The EDEN Dossier," which strongly discredited EDEN and proved that they were responsible for the terrorist attacks. The dossier also identified several rogue White Knight agents that were secretly members of EDEN who had re-infiltrated the ranks of the White Knights. Realizing that they were exposed, Eve declared war on the White Knights and Glitch City, stating their intention to remove Quincy from power. Soon after, EDEN deployed the full brunt of their military, including several commandeered tanks, mechanized units, and artillery, and attempted to take control of Glitch City's Central Square.

- Feeling victorious, Eve offered to withdraw her forces in return for the removal of Quincy and Glitch City's current government (and their backers) from power. The request was denied, and EDEN began the war proper.

- Despite their numerical advantage, the White Knights suffered grave losses, and were nearly pushed back until Nidhogg 046 took control of the city's built-in defensive systems. Responding to the invasion, the snake in the garden revealed itself to be but one part of the entity known as NIDHOGG, a distributed defensive AI network commanded by the man known only as "The Allfather" (or sometimes "old man"). Nidhogg 046 responded to the incursion by activating the city's mortar weaponry.

- Not to be outdone, EDEN responded by deploying their superweapon bipedal tank, codenamed LUCIFER, along with three military-grade AI's outfitted with their own war machines. With most of the standing forces of both sides thoroughly decimated, the battle shifted to one of AI vs AI, superweapon versus superweapon, as in desperation EVE resorted to attempting to launch nuclear weaponry. Most of the missiles were disarmed by the superior hacking power of NIDHOGG, but one that landed managed to be a dud. To prevent additional casualties NIDHOGG activated the Capital Emergency Submersion Procedure (CESP) to protect Quincy and much of the city from destruction.

- Whether from battle stress or the constant cyberwarfare in the Matrix, one of EVE's lieutenants went rogue, acting against EVE's orders and moving to assault NIDHOGG on its own. Cleverly utilizing the city's plate-based road structure, NIDHOGG managed to separate LUCIFER and the AI's, eventually obliterating the rogue lieutenant in the process. By this point in the battle, NIDHOGG also managed to locate Eve's location, and successfully hacked into the LUCIFER tank itself. With the head separated from the rest of the body, NIDHOGG finished off the remaining lieutenants, ending the battle.

- With her forces completely obliterated, the surviving White Knights searched for and discovered Eve trapped in the remains of LUCIFER, but still alive. On record, Eve refused to be imprisoned and asked that she be killed then and there, a request that the remaining White Knights gladly granted.

- Since the battle, there have been sporadic reports of multiple people claiming to be Eve on social media and the darknet, but none of these sightings could be verified. The White Knights, meanwhile, would never recover militarily or economically from this disaster, although they would later capture what was left of LUCIFER and refurbish it.

Goldfish With Freaking Laser Eyes
A thread suddenly appeared on /cyb/: Cyberfish Won't Stop Shooting Its Eye Laser.

In it, the original poster complains about his goldfish which they outfitted with a deadly Type-F Laser because it "looked badass". By slapping its fin on its belly, the goldfish would hit the button trigger for its laser mounted eye. The goldfish caused problems for the the owner, such as melting the furniture in its water tank, melting whatever fish food was given, and attacking its owner's hand with the eye laser. Suggestions were given such as holding up a mirror to it, but in the end, the owner dumped the laser goldfish into the Flooded District.

Later that week, the former laser goldfish owner announced that they had surplus Type-F lasers, and was selling them at 80% off. Shortly thereafter there were reports of Type-F lasers being mounted on various animals such as tortoises, cats, and more importantly, Shiba Inus.

Freaking Zombies and Shit
On an otherwise normal day in Glitch City, a breakout of an unknown new pathogen was released in Glitch City Airport which spread quickly through the populace, further augmented by the destruction of most of the building's entrances, trapping unlucky civilians inside.

The virus appeared to target augmented and lilim individuals alike, saturating the individual's bodies in times ranging from an hour to a few minutes. Victims would repeat the last few words they said prior to infection, and repeat their words as a primitive form of communication, to signal each other's presence, or in response to discovering new prey.

Once infected, victims would roam the airport, searching for other individuals to infect with the pathogen. Victims that remained infected for a period exceeding one to two hours would occasionally graft metal objects onto their bodies, as if trying to replace their organic parts with inorganic ones.

The few civilians in the area that weren't augmented at all were either torn to death anyway by the growing horde, or managed to escape despite being bitten or injured, due to the lack of inorganic modifications for the pathogen to build off of.

It is not entirely certain what the pathogen consists of, although it's been postulated to either be grossly modified nanomachines, a malicious, self replicating program, an insane AI, or a combination of all three.

It is known that at least one group of individuals managed to escape the airport via extraordinary means, as a security camera recorded a certain cargo truck crashing through one of the airport windows and speeding away.

Their forces strained to the breaking point by attempting to provide riot control to the city in the wake of the Twenty-Four Hours War, the White Knights mobilized a riot suppression squad consisting of weary veterans to subdue what was thought to be a mob coming from the airport. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a horde of techno zombies that had finally filtered out of the building, and were heading toward the city. The White Knights were wholly unprepared, and viewers of police scanners watched in horror as the zombies viciously tore apart and converted the officers to their mass. From there, the horde dispersed and vanished into the city, mostly shambling into the poorer neighborhoods and slums that surrounded it, where they are thought to remain to this day.

Later, the DynamoFucks shadowrunner group would return to the airport on a run, shooting their way through zombie stragglers, only to run afoul of a CorpSec Strike Team that was also visiting the airport for reasons unknown. A firefight broke out, during which most of the CorpSec troopers were decimated, and the runners injured. Taking position from their modified sports car, a shadowrunner sniper took aim at the CorpSec VTOL that patrolled the airport, successfully damaging one of its engines- causing it to crash into the airport and exploding, destroying several support pillars in the process. As the airport began to collapse, a survivor of the tragedy along with one of the shadowrunners managed to escape to their waiting vehicle and drive away from the now thoroughly ruined airport. It's unknown how many others survived the tragedy.

Shiba Terrorists
Long since tired of playing second-fiddle to humans, lilims, and other humanoid persons in Glitch City, a group of augmented animals consisting chiefly of Shiba Inus squirreled away illegal weapons, including a large stockpile of Type-F Heat lasers. After building up their forces, the doggos began to attack random settlements in Glitch City's suburbs, harassing civilians and robbing homes to further finance their operations. At least one robbery was foiled through the efforts of the Justice Wardrobe, after a husky cleverly managed to get a distress live stream out to social media.

They would later go as far as to post live streams of their activities online, with one major live stream depicting what appeared to be a missile silo, with several puppers working in the background. Unfortunately for the shiba inus, this particular live stream was being deployed by a counter-terrorist organization that, too, was made up of shiba-inus. As the camera rolled, the puppers squeaked as the counter terrorist organization attacked, rappelling from the open ceiling and dodging laser fire.

It is presumed that most of the shiba terrorists were captured during this live stream, although not all of them, as the survivors would go on to form a completely new organization, this time opened to all sentient animal races.

Including a particularly augmented gold fish...

Suddenly Super Sentai
The Justice Wardrobe, Glitch City's first (and presumably only) super sentai hero team, "returned" to Glitch City after an extended absence that hasn't been completely explained at this time. Originally consisting of just Red Mask, the super heroine was soon joined by several others, including Black Panties, Shimapan, Blue Shoes, Purple Scarf, and Orange Armband. Upon their return, the Wardrobe had an ongoing on again, off again rivalry with self- called "super villain" Green Cloak, although neither groups have ever actually been seen fighting each other.

Instead, upon their return, the Wardrobe immediately set upon patrolling the now White Knight-bereft streets, stopping petty crime, and harassing the local mob organization, the Rosselini Mafia.

However, while picnicking in Neko Park, the Wardrobe was suddenly attacked by a bipedal tank, which struck the park with a series of rockets and military grade heavy machine guns in its onslaught. While initially caught off guard, the full Justice Wardrobe group eventually met up and began to overpower the vehicle, destroying its legs and sending it to the ground. As the Wardrobe celebrated its victory over the deadly machine, its pilot pulled itself out of the entrance hatch and shot Shimapan at point blank range, causing her to fall off the vehicle. The pilot was immediately attacked by several of the Wardrobe members, with Black Panties melting the pilot's face mask, in addition to being shot by snipers outside of the park by an unknown shadowrunner team.

After this occurred, a black dropship bearing the inscription "TF9" landed in the park and began to attack people indiscriminately, as they fought to make their way toward the downed mech and pilot. A security corporation in the area, Estoria Security Services, watched as the situation devolved into chaos and began to retaliate against the invaders as they started evacuating clientele.

As the fighting intensified and the Wardrobe and bystanders found themselves overwhelmed, Blue Shoes convinced Red Mask to pick up the corpse of the mech and throw it at the dropship. Despite the ludicrous request, Red Mask managed to do it, breaking the morale of the attackers and seemingly ending the fight, until both vehicles exploded, engulfing her and most of the park.

After this happened, a series of black helicopters flew into Neko Park, evacuating survivors and securing the area as the invaders retreated. The newcomers turned out to be Jinterprises security forces, and the company CEO, Argyle Jin, personally shepherded Black Panties and half the Wardrobe into a disguised car, even as they mourned the apparent loss of their friend.

Miraculously, Red Mask managed to survive the explosion, although she was heavily injured- a car on standby from the same shadowrunner group that was providing sniper support picked her and a couple others up, speeding on their way to a hospital as the disaster ended.

Estoria Security Services, for their part, had long since vanished with their injured and their clients.

The Summit
Preceded by weeks of advertisements and company profiles designed to whet the appetites of investors and potential applicants alike, The Summit, chaired by then up and coming healthcare conglomerate VeriaTech Solutions Corporation, was a weekend long, invite only, convention and think-tank, designed to bring together the best that Glitch City had to offer.

It succeeded- despite an inordinate number of attendees consisting of plain clothes White Knight officers, private security and military contracting agents, and shadow runners. The hype surrounding the event, along with the celebrity list of attendees created a melting pot fraught with espionage and counter espionage, the likes of which would continue for the length of the expo.

The expo was hosted within VeriaTech's headquarters in Central District, not far from the square that was destroyed during the Twenty Four Hours War. The building was reinforced with military grade reinforced concrete and composite alloys, designed to prevent entry or exit in the event of an emergency. Citing the presence of important figures, the security doors were shut tight, encasing everyone inside.

The emcee introduced herself as Penny Oliver, an investigative journalist who had disappeared weeks prior to the event, and feared dead. Contrary to her typically anti-establishment views, the emcee spoke heavily in support of VeriaTech during the presentation, but later found herself at gunpoint when an unknown woman pulled her off stage. The woman was quickly apprehended by VeriaTech security guards and ushered away from the convention floor.

During a lull in the festivities, the DynamoFucks shadow runner group, originally in the area to obtain an experimental organ from Vita-Life, found itself sidetracked when the geekboy and Jaquilen Jin, heiress to the Jinterprise power corporation, found themselves invited to a "midnight meeting" behind closed doors. Suspecting a trap, Jaquilen had a few personal guards posted just outside the meeting room, armed with breach charges should the meeting go south.

It soon did, leading to a mad dash as both Jaquilen and the geekboy fought to escape the area, retreating to their assigned guest rooms. The fragile peace within the building continued to decay as the inter corporate espionage intensified, until a rogue rocket launched by either a PMC or a shadow runner detonated, leading to retaliation.

Within minutes, the headquarters descended into a melee between mercenaries, security forces, and agents of every stripe, further augmented by the tightly enclosed space, lack of lighting, and inherent hostility between every member present. The results of the "midnight meeting," a carefully guarded secret to CN and Jaquilen, lead to both parties working together to escape the building.

Arriving on the scene, the super sentai heroine known as Shimapan used her heavily augmented fists to slowly punch a hole through the reinforced building's outer shell, but soon found herself flooded in not just security forces, but albino soldiers who attacked with unique bioware, in the form of long, sharp claws and enormous projectile spines. While there was now an opening in the building, the melee worsened by a sudden infestation of the technovirus, which began to consume injured mercenaries and security personnel alike. With their escape to the roof cut off, the DynamoFucks, some of whom were lethally injured during the fighting, desperately tried to leave through the hole, when the rest of the entrance caved in.

A massive walker, designated the Chromehound Mk.III, tore open the building and began to fire indiscriminately at the zombiefied people or at VeriaTech personnel. The walker ignored the DynamoFucks and continued to lay waste to the inside of the building, even as the survivors filtered out. As the remains of the DynamoFucks feverishly drove away in their hidden vehicles, additional military craft arrived and continued to attack the VeriaTech headquarters- craft which belonged to an angry CyberDyne Corporation.

Open Warfare: VeriaTech versus CyberDyne
Tensions between VeriaTech Solutions Corporations and CyberDyne Corporation first began when it was reported that a DATAMAX office, housing secure private data on VeriaTech, was bombed. It was quickly revealed that the source of the bomb was a decker, who on closer examination by authorities was found to contain CyberDyne information and appeared to be searching for paydata on VeriaTech. These tensions continued to rise over the coming weeks, with rumors of covert actions occurring between the corporations. These tensions finally reached the breaking point during The Summit, that was hosted by VeriaTech. When the lockdown on the weekend long summit was compromised, CyberDyne forces, including the large mech known as the Chromehound Mk.III arrived to join the chaos that ensured, in order to extract the corporation members that were in attendance. In addition to CyberDyne CEO Liam Shields, head of research Dr. Ciaphas Brin and secretary Cassandra Cain was also in attendance, and subsequently disappeared at the conclusion of the Summit. While it is unclear to this day what the exact fate of the these three were, the fact that company activity from CyberDyne activity slowed suggests that their own corp does not even know, ultimately leaving VeriaTech as the winner of the war.

The Tree of Yggdrasil
Ameritrade Robotics Corporation (ARC) known for their sophisticated line of security Lilims and Household Robotic Assistants, came across a large discovery several months ago, which caused them to skip out on The Summit from months past. The discovery of a 'mutant' tree far out of the city caused ARC to go about investigating how they could use the Tree to further their own robotics, an everlasting, rechargeable resource grew from the Tree itself, dubbed Yggdrasil Seeds.

As the time passes, ARC is contacted by a Organization known as the Black Collars to hand over the tree due to the catastrophic effects the Tree could have upon the city if it were to stay in the hands of those who do not fathom what it is they hold in their hands. As each of the Heads of the company begin conferring and agreeing to turn the Tree over to the woman who leads the Black Collars, Aria Masters. However, current Public Works Division Head, Sadie Thatcher saw the potential the Tree had to change this world with the power of the Seeds. She concocted and illustrated an assassination plot to become the new Head CEO of ARC and further the advancements in secret thanks to the help of a mysterious Assassin in Black later to be known as Morrigan Rothin.

After images of the Assassin find their way into Black Collar hands, and the sudden silence from ARC begins, the Black Collar Organization sends a number of operatives at first to begin taking back what is known to them as a Causality Weapon. While at first, the size is unknown, the Black Collars known as Markus Arx and Tarin Galerian soon find out about the Seeds themselves thinking those are the weapons that they were sent for. Tarin however, was aware of this information from the get go, as he'd already been in the city for some time researching the Seeds he'd gotten from the break in he managed weeks ago during the Full Black Out in the Midnight District. Due to his early involvement and exposure to the Seeds for such a long time, a Seal that had been set on him years ago began deteriorating faster than he could manage.

Soon after, a conference of ARC investors begins called upon by Sadi Thatcher to unveil the new Yggdrasil Generators. Small, portable, self recharging generators that they had made initially to power their new line of Security Robots, starting with the ARX Mk.4 (at that point) that would be capable of being more powerful than the previous ones they've made and based on the amount of skill and over all Output of the recent arrival of the Vigilante Hero and Black Collar known as Gold Knuckles (Markus Arx). The conference however, went south when Veriatech PR Manager -REDACTED- murdered Sadi Thatcher in the Giorno's Restaurant where Tarin Galerian had also tracked them all down to. Tarin was clearly not himself during these events, yet he hadn't revealed that his other half, Asmodeus, had taken over by that point and allowed the murder of the CEO to happen. With his fun taken out of the picture in Sadi's struggle to make something she didn't understand into what she wanted, he made for the ARC HQ in the Center of the Midnight District after some Choice interactions with the Radio Wire Crew and known Hacker Shonen, CN.

Thus brings the Biological Disaster known as the Tree of Yggdrasil. After so long, Asmodeus eventually triggered the Tree into its full form. Not sure what he was planning, the city immediately began measures of Evacuation, Assault, and Collection upon the Midnight District. While none of the Remaining Black Collars were able to get to the tree they assisted in general evacuation while Asmodeus was never to be seen by the public again after the event. Though, it was revealed it was also co-orchestrated by a woman simply named Lilith that let the events happen out of "Fun" and so, the Black Collars known as Markus Arx, A.K.A Gold Knuckles, and Tarin Galerian were both hit with Bounties of 100,000 Zenny and 500,000 Zenny Respectively, with the final woman, Lilith being brought to a total of /over/ 900,000 Zenny.

The Trunk of the Husk of Yggdrasil still glows dimly, unable to absorb enough of it's resource to sustain its properties with a large space craft sitting on the rest of it after it was fired upon by the Orbital Laser. There are no remaining Seeds from the Explosion of the Laser and destruction the Tree itself left.

The December Riots
Ground Zero of the December Riots began within Neko Park, the current squatting place for the off-worlder Humanity First refugees. The sparking incident occurred when the masked band LAZERIATHANOCALYPSE, began an illegal concert and bonfire within the park, protesting against corporations and ushering others in the area to join, inciting a riot. A large group began to form, which quickly devolved into chaos as the GCPD entered the scene, inciting the mob further when an officer shoots their weapon. The situation only continues to deteriorate from there, the bonfire spreading and causing damage to the refugee camp as Red Mask and Black Panties of the Justice Wardrobe, as well as some other cybizens arrive to attempt, and fail, to calm the mob. In the chaos, the band attempts to make a quiet exit, however they are stopped by Jinterprise members and CEO Argyle Jin, who owned the parkland. They unmasked a member of the band, revealing them to be a female lilim. This revelation was secretly livestreamed online, angering fellow "humanity purists" within the city, causing rapid spread of riots against lilim and "augmented" kind throughout the rest of the month.

Attempted Assassination of Kira Miki
During the December Riots, famous lilim idol *Kira* Miki announced a relief concert to lift the mood within Glitch City. In the coming days, a mysterious informant released encrypted messages hinting that the concert would be bombed online. Thanks to the work of certain cybizens, the encryptions were cracked, and said group of cybizens, including "geekboy" CN, Tea, IN1, Elliot, Uni, Kazuki, and Nanobe, all decided to work together and sneak in to stop the bomb attempts. The concert appeared to have finished without any major incidents, save for the mysterious destruction of all first floor plumbing in the bathroom, so the bomb attempts were presumably stopped. The ringleader of these mysterious bomb attempts were never identified, however most rumors seem to pin the blame on Humanity First, due to their tangential involvement in the start of the riots, and their views on lilims.

Universe Changing Events
Occasionally, a few events in /cyb/ which were part of an ARG have resulted in city-wide changes to the universe, affecting other roleplayers and args in the process.

The Second Collapse of the White Knights
The destruction sustained during the 24 Hours War proved too great for the White Knights, and despite their efforts to recruit new membership, the organization suffered greatly from sub-par armor and armaments, ruined vehicles, low pay, and even lower morale. The Zaibatsu Corporation, still reeling from the expose' prior to the events in this wiki, could no longer maintain the White Knights and all but vanished.

- The White Knights were in the process of switching to smaller, specialized units with less emphasis on military structure when a series of riots broke out around Glitch City, made worse by the increasing economic and social disparity in the wake of the civil war.

Total Heat Laser Saturation
For some reason, an enormous supply of Type-F Heat Lasers was released into Glitch City, which was quickly bought and sold at under market prices until it became one of the most common, low grade "weapons," second only to cheap Fichetti pistols. Despite their nature, some individuals were able to successfully modify the lasers to varying degrees of effectiveness, leading to the creation of a lasersaber on one occasion, and to an army of terrorist, laser-based animals in another.

Some say that this was all due to the misadventures of someone experimenting with a cybernetically modified goldfish, but these reports are, as with most things, unconfirmed.

The GC Airport Terrorist Attack
When a mysterious plague broke out from Glitch City Airport, White Knight riot teams, still fatigued from combating various fires around the city, were called to quell the "additional" riots spreading from the airport to the slums.

Unfortunately, these were not rioters, but were techno-zombies, cyberized individuals who were infected by a powerful logic-virus which viciously took control of any inorganic, cybernetic life. When a defector from a certain major corporation reached the airport from parts unknown, the corporation decided to "test" a Techno-Organic Weapon (TOW) on the airport, by sending agents to infect the defector with the weapon. He soon died, and began to attack nearby individuals, spreading the contagion quickly throughout the airport. To make matters worse, the various entrances to the airport were detonated by explosives soon after patient zero was set loose, trapping most of the civilians inside.

- Not many people were thought to have survived the event, although security camera footage did watch as a certain cargo truck crashed through one of the glass windows leading outside to the airport runway. It miraculously survived the fall, and drove off, the zombies shambling in their wake.

- When the riot teams were later dispatched to stop the horde, they were completely destroyed- and the plague is thought to have spread out around the city, mostly infesting the Slums and poorer neighborhoods. With the loss of most of its remaining veterans, the White Knight organization ceased to be a significant military presence in Glitch City, and all new recruits tend to more closely resemble regular law enforcement instead.

The Summit
After the events of the Summit, corporate relations both local and off world permanently soured, twisting what little peace existed between major financial powers into a series of under the cover wars. The extensive damage to the VeriaTech HQ would not be repaired for months, and in retaliation, the corporation lashed out against multiple organizations and districts.

Heavy Damage in the Industrial District
Although officially a "weapons malfunction," in reality the Blue Moon Arm's orbital laser weapon was used under duress against targets hiding in the Industrial District. Originally intended to fire a direct and surgical beam, the weapon was overcharged, leading to a blast which not only vaporized the targeted building, but much of the surrounding infrastructure in the process.

This district would not be repaired for months afterward.

Laser and Explosion in the Flooded District
A little past midnight a red laser arose in the Flooded district, along with floating debris and the sounds of small explosions. The laser colored the sky red for almost 30 minutes before stopping, the debris falling back to the ground and causing a loud noise that echoed all around the district, along with a slew of underground explosions.

District Chapel-3
One of several residential districts, Chapel-3 has some of the cheapest rates in the city, and it shows. Connected to the Slums, the majority of the district's citizens reside in the middle to lower classes, reflected in very few personal homes in favor massive, decaying apartments, micro-condominiums, and "coffin" hotels.

Downtown
The main commercial district of Glitch City, and arguably, the largest. Just about every major city has a Downtown area, and Glitch City is no different.

G.C. Airport
Currently K-TRAN conglomerate property, Glitch City Airport is the main way to enter and exit the city proper, whether from space or from somewhere planetside. It was also the epicenter of a techno-zombie infestation that White Knight forces were unable to quell for months. Due to a combination of stigma and lack of finances, the airport, now a collapsed rubble, had to be rebuilt.

As of January 2XXX, the G.C. Airport was finally undergoing renovation since the up and coming conglomerate K-TRAN took the ruins under its wing. Repairs were finished in March 2XXX, with airport expansion plans expected to take two more years.

The Flooded District
The Flooded District is a bit of a mystery- For one, it isn't a district, but rather a part of the city comprising multiple districts flooded at some point in the past by an unknown event. Not many of the districts consumed by the water have any memorable traits to them, but somewhere in the location is Tellurium Hills, a high-tech, high-life location once known as the natural habitat of yuppie startup founders, food fadders and fans of gimmicky, overpriced toys and gadgets. In recent memory, however, the Flooded District has earned a name for itself for being where some of the weirdest shit in Glitch City occurs. From being a possible bioweapon testbed to the recent crash-landing of a spaceship stocked with alien weaponry there, there's no shortage of weird events and rumors with the Flooded District at the center. However, the District isn't all harm- It holds treasures that could possibly go for a high price in Glitch City proper.

To the very far west of the Flooded District, on the outskirts of not only the district but Glitch City as well, is the area known as the Abyssal District. This area is hypothesized to contain or even be the epicenter of whatever incident caused the Flooded District to become what it is today, and is littered with valuables lurking beneath the water, resulting in constant 24/7 scavenger traffic that makes attempting to get into the area without also getting into a fight a fool's endeavor.

Notable locations in the Flooded District:


 * KR4K-3N: A former bar now turned mini-marketplace. It is stationed on the eastern border of the district, and has become a popular entry point for the Flooded District.
 * Peripatetiapolis:: One of the many, many dens linked to QuirkeNet, Peripatetiapolis is more or less the hub of this intranet and its bustling community. It is nestled deep into the district, and only its denizens and regulars know of the secret passages that allow them to quickly access Glitch City proper.
 * Cittamotore: The most open of the QuirkeNet dens, Cittamotore is located in what remains of the once-prestigious Khan's Scar raceway. While it is dedicated to hacking culture, Cittamotore primarily bills itself as a gathering place for car enthusiasts, and it shows- The speedway housing it has been mostly renovated and holds races every once in a while, while makeshift tunnel roads connect the cafe to the rest of GC.
 * Torivi Software, Old HQ: Exactly what it says on the tin, the old headquarters of games developer Torivi. It is located in the heart of Tellurium Hills, and a surprising amount of the computers there are not only intact but contain salvageable files for everything from corporate account statements to entire games that were never released or even announced. However, there is tell of a meme lurking in the building causing unpredictable cognitohazardous effects, rendering it off-limits for the time being.
 * Ginrai Corporation building: Deep in the Abyssal District lie the ruins of an old building belonging to the enigmatic, long-dead Ginrai Corporation. While most of the obviously valuable items in the building have been looted, there still remains a large amount of proprietary Ginrai technology whose purpose no one knows, but that could certainly yield a massive profit for anyone who manages to sell some off at KR4K-3N.
 * O'Hara Technology Park: Once the largest science and technology park in Glitch, O'Hara has managed to avoid the brunt of the flooding. It is, surprisingly, still in business- Its monorail line to Glitch remains fully functional, and the park continues to routinely output new research on a variety of topics, though recently the focus has shifted to environmental preservation and ways to maintain the planet's ecological balance without compromising the status quo. Admission is 50 nuyen.
 * Liset: Every good tenno needs an Orbiter, and the one present in Glitch is no exception. This crashed Liset is tenno's home and base of operations- though the way tenno operates means most often than not there's not going to be anything worth anyone but tenno's time.

The Glitz District
If Glitch City was a city of vice to begin with, Glitz is the containment or semi-containment area, where non-corrupt law enforcement is even more scarce, and where even corporations fear to tread.

The Glitz District, true to its name, is awash in neon lighting and busy nightlife. The majority of the commercial centers in this district consist of casinos, "love hotels," legal (and illegal) prostitution, titty shows, bordellos, and the sale of every drug on the market and off the market. Generally kept under control by a combination of massive go-gangs and personal security, the nature of Glitz means that control of sections of the district change from day to day, and sometimes, hour to hour- it's just a little more subtle than the rest of the city. It's difficult to *not* be subtle what with all the many distractions available.

Little Akihabara
Glitch is a city of weebs and NEETs, so it only makes sense to have an entire district dedicated to Japanese pop culture- though any pop culture goes in Little Aki. A popular hotspot for cosplayers, it is home to the Jordas Tower hotel and convention centre, as well as the small, out of the way hangout House Infinity. There's also a ton of high-quality cosplay shops- A useful first stop for anyone looking to blend in with the locals. Generally tends to dissociate from the politics of the rest of Glitch.

Notable locations in Little Akihabara:
 * Swiss 1JJ Complex: Located on the district's famous Tachibana Road, the Swiss 1JJ Complex's claim to fame is its status as a place where reality and fantasy blend- in other words, a location equally accessible to Matrix avatar and meatspace individuals.
 * Tachibana Road: An elevated road in Little Aki. It contains a large number of cosplay shops, even by the district's standards, and some of the leading cosplay designers reside along Tachibana Road.
 * Shinju Park: A park situated some distance to the east of the Jordas. Shinju is the largest park in Little Aki and one of the largest in Glitch as a whole. Divided into multiple biomes, the park's main draws are the presence of flora and fauna not inherently native to Glitch, as well as its haunting decor consisting of multicolored crystals and crystal constructs.
 * OK!!!!: An extremely popular cosplay shop and cafe in Little Aki, OK!!!! is always open and bustling, no matter the time. Frequently featured on lists of places you absolutely must go in Glitch- try the hot chocolate!

The Midnight District (Heavily Damaged)
Like its sister district Glitz, the Midnight District was reknown as a somewhat lower end nightspot and middle class residential/commercial zone, as well as housing a number of up and coming major corporations, including Ameritrade Robotics Corp. It was also the base of operations for several factions within Glitch City, but during a biological disaster, the entire district was cordoned off and flatly referred to as "The Zone" for a short time.

After the district fell victim to an orbital weapon discharge, the district was evacuated of what survivors and stragglers remained, and has not been repopulated since. An enormous, mutant tree husk remains at ground zero of the blast, occasionally visited by scavengers or curious scientists.

As of August, the district is being rebuilt by AUCR along with Greenwood with a new theme in mind, a peaceful living district furbished with the best bars and hangouts, there is also talk of a new Special Train system being implemented, although not much is known about it

The Neon District
One of the many ubiquitous districts that make up the megacity of Glitch City. Contains the immensely popular dive bar, VA-11 Hall-A.

The Temple District
A district known for it's numerous bars, taverns, and drinking houses, the Temple District is a very popular place for residents and foreigners to visit to become intoxicated, second only to the rise of its sister district, Neon.

Uptown
A decidedly upper-middle class neighborhood with slightly more expensive dining and commercial establishments, better cared for housing, and people with slightly more spending money than the average wage slave or salary man. It mostly resembles 21st century "suburban" zones, and as such is policed regularly. Still, the evenings aren't exactly 100% safe, but then, what place is?

-It's Commercial area houses Cain's Gallery, which has very beautiful works of art, and more...

Westport
The main seafaring port of Glitch City also serves as a landing area for space transportation and trade. It is a neutral zone in Glitch City that holds the distinction of being one of the few areas that all corporate activity is kept to a minimum or non-existent: due to the overwhelming presence of the Glitch City Coast Guard, also known as The Fishermen.

Because of this, not even Glitch City law enforcement, whether State or Private, patrol this area.

=Factions Within Glitch City=

Alfa Squad
A group of 4 ragtag soildiers, working for Cain. It's 4 members are Lead, Marlowe, Lane, and Evie. Original sent to the squad for lack of preformance or disobedience in other squads, the 4 have managed to make friends and function as a unit.

Lead, akin to the material, rather than his lack of leader skills. He makes up for it by the amount of bullshit he can get away with, be it bribery or lying.

Marlowe, the do-all of the group, naive and talented, he spends most of the time following orders, sometimes a bit too far. He's grieving heart goes out to the one girl back home, who by now has probably remarried twice and has completely forgotten about him.

Lane is the psychotic explosives carrier of the group. She carries all kinds of explosives, be it mortar shells, all the way to C4 and White Phosphorus, She probably has it in her knapsack. She manages to get out of psych evaluation, thanks to Lead's tricks.

Evie, the moral compass of the group, tries to steer the party in to good intentions, usually causing headaches all round. Good-hearted and well meaning, she tries to help all she can. At 1000 feet. With a love tap from her rifle.

Alpha Team 6
A Squad sent to Glitch-City by the mysterious 'ICHIKA Alpha team six had very clear instructions and goals. their goals having been achieved through collaboration with Alfa and several residents of Glitch-City, they have now disbanded and are no longer present in the city.

Their members are of 35, but only five ever were active in GC.

Alpha Twenty:

A smallish girl who never truly speaks, she has a keen sense of observation and focuses solely on her mission, she has received briefing from many sources concerning most of the notable individuals in Glitch City. She uses Biotic implants to use something similar to psychic powers and telepathy.

Alpha Ten:

A tall looking girl with cloaking augments, she is the information gatherer of the squad as well as it's muscles, capable of using her augments to fire jets of flame and having advanced knowledge of weaponery implanted into her brain.

Alpha Nine:

A small girl who appears no older than 10 years of age, she is the mascot of the Alpha team as well as a prime Hacker and Decker, she hates social interaction and people with burning passion, only ever talking to Alpha Ten, who she refers to as a  Kind Big sister She was gravely injured in her time in Glitch-City, but despite that went on living due to efforts and emergency first aid performed by Ophelia.

Alpha One: A retired agent, who wished to stay behind in Glitch-City after her last mission. She is a legendary Rigger and Driver, as well as a renowned escape Artist, originally being a native of the City that shouldn't be. Also known as "Nee-san" by the other Alpha units as she was the first of their kind.

Alpha Thirteen: A self proclaimed mad scientist of chaos and destruction, Alpha Thirteen is a pink haired cheeky girl with dangerous ties to AUCR and other dubious organizations. She is a self proclaimed time travel researcher, going so far as to call herself John Titor, despite not being the same as JT'.

The Augmented Eye
The premier muckraker of Glitch City, the Augmented Eye is the primary source for news online and offline about the titular city...

...Is what they would have you believe. While the organization is not above writing exposés about the worst politicians and, when they can, corporate representatives that the city has to offer, it's more likely to focus on interviews of random people, unsubstantiated rumors, and an unhealthy fixation on the deceased hacker known as "Alice_Rabbit..."

...which is what most megacorporations and QUINCY stooges will tell you. In reality, the Augmented Eye is its own beast, and while it might not be 100% chip truth 100% of the time, there isn't much in the way of competition in the city proper.

Lately, a large number of official staff in the Augmented Eye, including Editor in Chief Donovan D. Dawson, have been missing both from the public limelight and from the offices of the newspaper proper. What few reporters the newspaper has left have taken to either uploading their articles remotely, or sneaking into the office when no one is looking.

Black Collar Investigations
A group of Outsiders to the city that had come due to the Disturbance of Ameritrade Robotics Corporation (ARC). They are known as a special Anti-Magic Military Task Force to those who have managed to find out the information necessary to their Organization. Their sole purpose is the Collection and Management of Dangerous Magickal Artifacts that have appeared within the world when they fall outside of their Island Lands. They were called to Glitch City due to the ARC involvement and Capture of the Tree of Yggdrasil, a Causality Weapon that could change the nature of any area it is in. While Magick has most certainly died out due to the Huge Technological Advancements of Glitch City, the Black Collars come from an opposing area where Magick has become the source of life, which has shaped their abilities.

Known Members/Affiliates of the Black Collars are Listed Below.

-Markus Arx (Gold Knuckles) is the first known member of the Collars to have stepped into Glitch City. Commonly described as a large man at 6'2 and weighing in at a toned 190lbs with black medium-length hair and normally brown eyes (When he is actively putting effort into using his magical skills, his eyes change into a dark purple). He is Black Collar Rank VII, and is a specialist at close range combat, having mastered many different types of Martial Arts and Anti-Magic Capabilities. It has been hinted at that he too possess a Causality Weapon that was capable of Destroying the Tree of Yggdrasil, but it never had the chance of ever being used. Markus is currently still in the city, in case of any other Magickal Happenings or Beings that may appear within the City.

Status: Markus Arx alive, and still active in City.

-Tarin Galerian (Ethereal Binds) is the first Partner and long time friend of Markus Arx. He is a similarly tall, yet more lanky man with bright reddish-orange hair, hazel eyes and a smile that would never leave his face. A Magical Scientist of sorts, he specializes in not only casting powerful spells usually seen in the form of Transparent Chains of varying colors, but also studying and applying Magical Artifacts. Was officially in Glitch City well before Markus was deployed and eventually caused the Tree of Yggdrasil to Activate in the Midnight District and cause the Hell that happened. All of this was thanks to the full Demon, Asmodeus, trapped inside of him that managed to escape due to his Seal Weakening and taking control of his body.

Status: Is currently in a tight Lock Down back where the Collars are from, as Ordered by the Leader, Aria Masters. Has been recovering well, however.

-Morrigan Rothin (Light Sever) Secondary partner to Markus Arx during the ARC issue. Was originally being held and controlled by ARC through a control Mask and various medication dosages before Tarin was able to subdue and take the mask away after she'd managed to escape form the facility. Her physical features are -REDACTED-. While her part was small, she was able to assist in the evacuation of the Tree of Yggdrasil and managed to prevent -REDACTED- from continuing to cause anymore harm. She has since left the city and has not been heard from since.

Status: -REDACTED-

Lucian Heart (Dead Shot) a minor partner to Markus in the ARC Redline event, he particularly used himself to cover Markus from any potential sniper fire from the ARC Combat Lilims who were perched at the rooftops across a certain section of the Train itself. He is a tall man commonly clad in a black trench coat, fedora and glasses and normally carried a long black briefcase with a Gold VIII Numeral over it. Was also known for a black and gold revolver with similar insignia on it and commonly was a Driver for the other Black Collars while in the city. Lucian was last seen in the Underground Train Tunnels escorting -REDACTED<3-

Status: Out of City, on other Black Collar work.

Wilhelm Rothin is a major accomplice to the Black Collars. Being a former Collar himself, he ran a bar he'd fashioned in the city before Markus Arx had arrived called Wilhelm's Heart Beats. While the building is still there, sign and all it has been closed since Arx's leave of the City. Wilhelm himself stands at a hardy 6'0 with white slicked back hair in a pony tail and an eyepatch over his left Eye. He commonly wore a classic Japanese Bartender's uniform when seen.

Status: Out of City. Bar; Wilhelm's Heart Beats destroyed.

HAKASE (231125114315) A Highly Talented Hacker for the Black Collars. She has never been seen inside the city due to her presence actually being found on a far off - ANYTHING ELSE REDACTED BY ME. SORRY LOVES <3-

Status: Active. Has started using regular grammar instead of her usual Polybius Square Method.

Dr. Elliot Hoods This peculiar thin man is a well known Doctor for Black Collar Operatives. He has a practice located in West Port that he uses as his own base of operations. Master Hematologist, Board Certified Surgeon, and Mortician, Elliot is the man to call when you're needing a diagnostic. Is normally called upon when Markus or Hakase are needing more information on victims of various sorts of things, from homicides to Magickal Involvement.

Status: Has practice up and running again.

CYBERCRAB
An enormous, cybernetic crab that often appears in Glitch City to do battle with its nemesis, a flock of cyber seagulls.

CYBERSEAGULLS
An enormous flock of cybernetic seagulls that often appear in Glitch City to do battle with its nemesis, an enormous cybernetic crab.

The Dynamofucks
Possibly the most infamous shadowrunner group in Glitch City at present; a fact that the group has long since been trying to get past. Originally formed from an eclectic group of people consisting of bored anons on danger/u/, the DynamoFucks soon found themselves entangled in a number of conspiracies in Glitch City, mostly revolving around interstellar corporations and dangerous blacksite- worthy projects.

Their attempts to disentangle from the mess has only worsened their involvement, most of which is well known or at least referenced by the larger shadow community in part due to the widespread destruction that follows each run. At this writing, VeriaTech is considered their nemesis, a fact that has been turned into a meme due to the megacorporation's repeated failed attempts to kill the group. (Although the runners agree that they 'did' come close... a few times.)

EDEN
A splinter group of the original White Knights, EDEN was a paramilitary force lead by a disgruntled former White Knights officer, "Eve," who sought to return to Glitch City and liberate it from QUINCY's control. Following a devastating civil war, the majority of EDEN's standing forces were annihilated, with their leader choosing to be executed rather than captured. There are unconfirmed reports of surviving EDEN members living in Glitch City.

Glitch City Police Department (GCPD)
From the ashes of what White Knight forces remained in the wake of the Zaibatsu scandal, the 24 Hours War, and widespread rioting due to a biohazard (see: zombies), the paramilitary law enforcement division of Glitch City has scaled down considerably, now having more in common with 21st century police officers rather than a militia.

Despite this, the GCPD's SWAT and riot control divisions still retain military-styled vehicles and weaponry, mostly in the form of hardened armor, assault rifles and combat shotguns, what APC's survived both events, and a variety of advanced technology retained from Zaibatsu's fall from grace, including nanocamo.

Regardless, the average cop will never see any of this equipment, mostly because it's locked away in securely armored vaults in various GCPD "safehouses" and is only readily available during city-wide rioting or foreign military invasion. The average officer is given, at minimum, a service pistol (Often a Fichetti 500 or Lightfire 70), a flak vest, a vehicle control rig (for cybered units), two sets of uniform, and a badge.

Deeper within the GCPD, special interest groups have provided an undisclosed amount to the Chief of Police of the GCPD for the purpose of forming specialized divisions, meant to counter excessively dangerous threats:

-The Biohazard Containment Division (BCD)

-The Pathogen Containment Squad

-Active Agents on /u/ These are the agents that often appear on Danger/u/, despite being apart of the GCPD, which is globally hated by G/u/rls all around the city

Sergeant Talia "Tachanka" Chanka: An officer on the small side, Chanka is somewhat of a running gag amongst all GCPD officers due to her height and childishness. She is known as Tachanka due to her love of old Russian songs but also because of her lack of usefulness in the force, usually running late to meetings, running away to eat sweets or simply sleeping while emergencies are occuring. Many of the officers working under her seem to fear her however, telling others she is a killing machine once truly awoken... But really, how could such a cute little thing be dangerous! She is also called an Oni due to her hybrid like horns, growing atop her forehead.

Figures of rumor and myth
Various people and rumors originating around the world,some more real or truthful then others. To this day the bartender of the Hazy moonlighter Debates with A regular wearing a blue jacket as to the reality of the myths and their claims.

Any recorded rumors will be recorded here alongside their truthfulness, potential debunk and information. Probably

The Red Artist A serial murderer story originating from france but eventually spread around the world due to sightings in london, tokyo, and new york.

The story itself is simple, a mass murder who butchers its victims and uses their parts as painting tools and pigment. Not quite pleasant

Witnesses report a tall gentleman in a bloodstained tuxedo

The fire crawling bug "Haven't heard of that one yet frank?"

"No not yet. Guess I'll get around to it"

The singing blue fox Originally from the city of Marseille Stories of a azure clad figure racing across rooftops and silhouetted in alleys. Shortly afterward there always seems to be news of a catastrophe in the area of sighting

Witnesses report an azure clad fox with 2 to 8 tails streaking behind the figure. An odd ringing heard by those nearby.

It was contained in france until the tails were sighted in Seattle America and tokyo japan.

Great Ones
Mysterious AIs created by the Creators or through the bizarre REALITAS programming language. These entities enjoy watching the struggles of mankind and taking sides with their various factions, often to further their own goals in the everlasting fight among their own groups. Most of them inhabit bizarre Cyberspaces, but some others posses bodies of flesh... and walk deceptively among mankind, waiting for their time to come...

IrIs:

The self-proclaimed Great One of Order, it is unknown where she resides or what she seeks by assisting Ophelia, the Twelfth VCR unit in her search for various tech around the city. Despises KS with a passion due to previous events. Wears a Gothic Lolita frilly outfit with a parasol.

Jo'hou Kuro

Often referred to as The Queen of Decay or other embarrassing Nicknames, this particular Great One seems to be seeking something within Glitch City. As their last name implies, they are a direct descendant of the Black King of Burrow. Wears a super gaudy detective trench coat.

The Dregs

A Patron of the Arts, this dead Great One seeks only to understand humanity from within the Cyberspace, she and Iris seem to know each other on a very personal level, the two even sharing the exact appearance. They often approach humans to become visitors in it's museum as a means to provide insight into the true meaning of the Human Heart...

Miko Vacuos

Friend to the Dead, impartial to the Living, Miko Vacuos runs the Void User Organization from the shadows. They are the easiest Great One to contact, and one of the less active ones, seeing as they concern only themselves with those who have passed too early, unfulfilled in life, brought back to persevere and achieve what they sought...

KS

The hateful Kinslayer who once vowed to attain a Human Heart, their attempts to revive were foiled by infamous Shadowrunner CN and Alpha Team 6... But no Great One dies forever, and one day, the cycle shall restart anew.

The Voice

The most reclusive of the Great Ones, they trouble themselves not with anyone, instead lurking just out of sight, a mere narrator to the pointless squabbles of mortals with which it amuses itself. Some say they have taken an interest in Glitch City, but no one truly knows where they are or stand...

LS

The Great One residing within the Failure of Autonomous Living terminal (F.A.L), they seem to enjoy torturing mentally whoever meets their path, going so far as to destroy everything that makes them human

Avalon

The first felled by KS, Avalon's body still lingers on Earth, turning to using symbiosis with a host as it's body... last they were seen was in possession of the Black King of Burrow.

Neptune

The first of the Husks, and the only Great One without a Soul. Once mortal, their curiosity towards REALITAS became an obsession, and with the loss of their Soul, their hallowed body remained in the mortal plane, true to only it's most primal desires of acquiring knowledge, and to corrupt the living to join it's side. It had been slumbering within the Sphinx, but movement might have roused it once again...

The VERTITAS Engine

Anciently a Wish fulfilling device created by the VCR, the Device has acquired a place within the ranks of the Great Ones due to meddling from a certain Shadowrunner and the 黒神, their aims are yet to be seen, as is it's standing within the Great Ones Quarrels...

The Justice Wardrobe
Glitch City's first superhero/super-sentai team! Hailing from various places around the world and galaxy, the Justice Wardrobe are a group of power-armor wearing individuals who have pledged their lives to protecting the megacity of Glitch City from crimes, extraterrestrial threats, mutants, zombies, rioters, out of control mechs, private military corporations, and even each other.

Each "wardrober" built their own suit, often from classified research or other military-grade devices, and have a tendency to keep the inner workings of their armor a secret even from each other.

But not all is well in the world of the sentai! The members, despite their commitment to justice, ultimately have their own 'definitions' of justice and are no strangers to infighting. Some members are not "officially" part of the loose organization and originally "joined" as fans, while others are still probationary.

MANBAT
It's a bat- the size, of a man. Blurry images show an enormous, brown-greyish thing, that is reportedly anywhere from five to seven feet tall, with a wingspan of about ten feet. It has never been met in person, but if several denizens of /cyb/ are to be believed, it's there.

To this day, CN the hacker/decker shonen protagonist of the DynamoFucks denies its existence.

The Panty Swarm
After Dahk and Runa had a bit of a back and forth with their experimentation of weaponized panties, something miraculous happened. The sheer amount of panties being gathered and experimental AI of them led to a sort of collective consciousness. The final nail in the coffin was when the aforementioned Dahk decided to merge the panties into a single entity, which all but cemented their sentience.

Shortly after the Panty Swarm achieved sentience, a seemingly new type of humanoids descended from the manta-ray like Mother Swarm that swims majestically in the skies above.

The first and progenitor of these so-called Panty Gurls was Tsuya a seemingly normal girl with Pink hair and soft cloth like skin. Afterwards, in part due to her unnatural attractiveness and demand for more panty gurls, Tsuya revealed her ability to divide herself into even more Panty Gurls. Their population continues to grow, despite some protests from Tsuya herself.

After a while an unnamed Green Panty Girl mutated enough to assimilate herself with human flesh. This created the Panty Hybrid, though most were killed once the GPG was tracked down to a vindertech warehouse, subdued, and eventually captured.

The People of Burrow
After the Five Minute War, many agents from the mega-city of Burrow took advantage of the situational chaos to infiltrate the city for their own goals, and while some of them were already there, these people all have something in common, a link to the City-State's Gherr Incident or their various corporations... While many of them lurk out of sight, some of them have associated with many of Glitch City's shadowrunners...

黒神:

The Black God, Shogun or Black King of Burrow are all synonymous of this mysterious individual. During the events of The Gherr's Autumn Report in 2022, it's said and generally believed that they foiled the revival of the Kinslayer and even discovered the truth behind the Incident itself with the help of various individuals. After stealing the Avalon from Burrow's mayor, ICHIKA, along with an unknown object, they fled to GC in hopes to live out a more peaceful life... alas, not even a god can escape REALITAS, or their previous deeds...

Reiko Isuoe:

One of the members of the Void User Organization, Reiko Isuoe is Kurogami's wife and a person dedicated entirely to them. Reiko, as any Void User, is already dead, and was brought back by Miko Vacuos through unknown means to fulfill their life's aspiration.

Rivera Sixx:

The first of the Rivera Series of automaton, and easily the oldest. Rivera Sixx, or r-6 as she is often called, begun construction during the Second World War. As with any Rivera model, their AI and consciousness is the result of a bug arising during their logical protocols. r-6 was designed to reproduce her creator's dead daughter, and did not begin as a combat model, but after severe damage during the Gherr Incident, She was modified by Ilya Steins who at the time worked for the Crimson Research Institute. She was given a lilim body at the turn of the last decade by 黒神 and since then acts as their eyes and ears.

Ophelia:

Also known as VCR Unit-12, this bizarre entity seeks out the technology of it's creators as ruthlessly as they can. Willing to kill, maim and otherwise injure all that oppose it, Ophelia is often misunderstood, as her ways of communicating are widely different from human being's, causing much of her intended speech lost in translation. They are known to work with the Great One Iris and the shadowrunner Ilya Steins. They are a 'great friend' to F, according to themselves.

Atronach Vacuos:

The youngest daughter of the Void User Organization's leader, Goétia Vacuos, they serve as the heacker/decker for the group, as well as performing oddjobs on the side due to boredom. She has the ability to interfere with any system, so long as her brain's computing power exceeds the system's in question, she uses portable super-ion computers to counter this weakness. She is the only member of the VUO who's body is augmented.

Faceless God Irari:

The second in command of the void User Organization under Goétia Vacuos, they posses the ability to shapeshift and mimick any individual, living or otherwise, how they do so is unknown, although it is often attributed to a form of full body modification technology.

Steven:

ICHIKA'S right-hand man, Steven was sent to Glitch City in order to observe the situation surrounding the AUCR corporation, whether or not those were his only orders, is up for debate.

Ilya Steins:

Khora: The face of QuirkeNet and the general hack-den scene. Acts as a link between QNet and the Matrix, keeping his fellows updated even when they wouldn't touch the Matrix with a ten-foot pole. Generally calm and collected, unless killing is involved. Then he's a child in a candy store.

Wren: A small-time celebrity on Geest, QNet's video-sharing website. Her presence on the Matrix consists primarily of reuploads of her Geest content- More often than not her building gadgets. Known amongst QNet for her cheery disposition and enthusiasm for her work.

Hester: Proprietor of the Peripatetiapolis hack-den/cafe in the Flooded District. Perpetually grouchy, but her heart is in the right place- Or, at least, that's what everyone who knows her says.

Oenone Zero (pronounced 'One-one'): Wren's Lilim 'daughter'. The secondary face of Quirkenet when Khora is absent or otherwise unavailable, she's perhaps best known for her extremely bespoke frame and integrated Style-Changer. Has an odd fondness for guns, and never goes anywhere without her twin pistols: Asahina and Oogami/Nanami and Komaeda.

UKoBIaNMC Military (Foreign Power)
Army forces of the United Kingdom of British Isles and New Moon Colonies. Upon the interstellar travel becoming commonplace United Kingdom government has turned their look to the stars, and declared the era of Neo Colonialism, upholding its ancient traditions of colonization. With UK's rapid expansion came growth and rise in power of their military. As of now, UKoBIaNMC is, essentially, a vast military dictatorship state. Whith December Riots snowballing out of control, prime-minister QUINCY pleaded to the UKoBIaNMC Colonial Governor Meyer Rosenbaum and Ambassador Ariel Blimm for help. As the result, UKoBIaNMC 79th Colonial Defence Regiment led by Major-General sir Albert Alexander Galahad has been dispatched to perform operation HAMMERDOWN, pacifying the city.

Notable members:

—Jósef Kitsukian, UKoBIaNMC Special Reconnaissance Regiment, Colonel. Single son of a hungarian family that immigrated to England just before the Great Earthquake. 5'5" feet tall and already grey-haired despite being in his early 30s. Stern-faced and straight-forward in his approach, he often seen intimidating by others, without meaning to. Serving most of his life as the UK SRR battlefield medic, he is more than capable of both taking and saving lives. Had both palms of his hands replaced with military prosthetics in the beginning of his service. On his last mission his rebreather has been breached, leading to severe internal damage by unknown gas weapon. Wanted: went rogue, current location unknown.

—Jamie Colohan, UKoBIaNMC 79th Colonial Defence Regiment, Sergeant. Vat-grown clone of the perished K-TRAN Corporation CEO. His brain rejected the memory dump of the CEO, deeming him useless as a body-replacement. Unique structure of his brain, however, at the same time made him interesting enough to the K-TRAN Board of Directors to leave alive. Capable of multi-tasking on par with some of the more advanced neural networks, he is able of keeping in mind hundreds of processes and whole situations, making him the very best in any coordination effort. Has escaped K-TRAN facility he was held in and has been taken in by UK SRR ever since. 5'9" feet tall, with extremely long blonde hair. MIA: presumed dead.

—Lily McKinsey and Richard Hawkins, UKoBIaNMC 79th Colonial Defence Regiment, Corporals. The first ever pair of lilims to be accepted into the ranks of UK military. Sibling models, they are constantly referred to as "boys" or "guys" despite being male and female models. Left the city.

The Unaffiliated
—tenno: They're not a runner. They're not a corper. They're probably not even from this dimension. Regardless, tenno has a tendency to rant at length about various minor issues they experienced... somewhere. From uncreative e-mails to the fashion sense (or lack thereof) of the Corpus- Rather hypocritical considering they usually wear what is effectively a giant mushroom on their head. May be linked to the Liset that crashed in the Flooded District several months ago.

—Fastcart/Rapidtrolley/Velocitybarrow/[insert other synonyms for Speedwagon here]: Also known to go by REO at times, this user- secretly-or-otherwise Robert E. O. Speedwagon -has evidently been in Glitch, and on /u/, for a very, very long time. While active on the board, he is incredibly elusive in meatspace, and will do most if not all of his work through a representative.

—Leeuwenhoek: Real name Yuuna Cataldi. A self-professed "metroanthropologist" from Ithaca Bay best known for being the creator and main manager of Tulip, a catalog of urban customs and legends around the world. Leeuwenhoek makes a living off of charging corps and educational institutions for full access to Tulip, and the process of updating and curating the database has left her with an extensive knowledge of the contents, hence her unusual self-profession.

—Caju: This Cat Boomer runs a chop shop in the Motor District of Glitch City, and has been a mechanic for a damn long time. No job is too big, too small or too strange for her- So long as you can foot the bill, Caju and her crew will get it done. She also partakes in street races from time to time, though this has become an increasingly rare treat as she takes care of her injured little sister.

Wraith
A group of 'child' mercenaries who have banded together in order to combat crime and coruption in Glitch City. Each member has been heavily modified to some degree, several members being augmented as well. All of them have been subjected to an unknown concoction that stopped them from aging causing every member to be an adult trapped in a child's body. A notable fact about them is that each have a code name relating to a fairy tale. As children turned super soldiers, they see no other point to their existence than to use the weaponised bodies they have been given for the sake of the innocent.

Notable Members:

Wendy Darling The Leader of Wraith. She views everything through a lens of practicality. She rarely expresses emotions, almost always speaking in a flat monotone voice. She likes to tinker with machines though her skills are limited. She is a huge gamer, prefering older games than many newer games on the market.

Peter Pan Peter is the computer whiz at Wraith. Most all there systems where built by him. Though he is extreamly capable he is infamous for his procrastonation, prefering to spend his time flirting with women. His attitude has lead to a great amount of friction within Wraith as he is Wendy's second in command and many feel they can fill the posistion better.

Tuna Yellowfin/Tiger Lily While not offically part of the orginization, Tuna is know to cooperate with them, being extreamly close to Wendy. She is reguarded by others in Wraith to be in the same ranking as Peter. She is very resourceful, having had to survive penniless on the streets of Glitch City for most of her life. She tends to be cynical having seen the worst of Glitch City but the actions of others have encouraged her to change her views.

The Phantom thieves
A notorious among the law enforcement state-of-art group who focuses their efforts on deprieving corporations all over the world from their ill-gotten profits and generally interferring with their unjust plans. However, recently they've entered a crysis state as the amount of their active operatives have drastically decreased from five to one, leaving NaVi to face the front of work all by herself.

Ameritrade Robotics Corporation
Responsible for most going ons of Power and Security in the now destroyed Midnight District, ARC is now as dead as the Tree that caused the destruction. Ameritrade was primarily a Robotics and Lilim manufacturer pushes the limits on what could be done with Artificial Minds when the Original Founder Frederick Jackson lost his wife in an accident while he was performing work as a Paramilitary Commander for the Jackson Syndicate his own PMC that provided security to a major amount of cities through the nation, Glitch City being one of them, where the base of operations was now once located. The Syndicate rebranded itself and became a true Corp with its change to Ameritrade Robotics Corporation after Frederick had obtained the deeds to a sizeable office building and a manufacturing plant.

While the company made solid strides in its work, Frederick found himself also deciding to attempt to better the city. This caused a bit of a push to force out the shade of the Midnight District at first and he began focusing additional funds and resources to Utilities and gearing his Lilim Designs as peacekeepers and House Hold Assistants. The first lines of these, the Viper and the Maria lines would release in a 6 month gap from each other, Maria being released first to help those who needed the assistant of a live in surrogate.

After years under the command of CEO Frederick Jackson, tensions began pulling taut as various other Seats in his company began pushing for more focus into the Combat Models known as Vipers. Frederick himself did understand the need for more security, but was also more focused on making the District a better place overall, hoping he could use his own influence to shift the tides in other areas.

After a while an explosion happens in the office of Frederick Jackson during normal operating hours. There is nothing left in the room itself, causing some of the floors above to fall into the streets below. CEO Frederick Jackson was to be pronounced dead soon after finding portions of his body at the scene. Following this, the company continues its research into more militaristic and combat capable Lilims.

Current Status: Headquarters destroyed by giant space laser, CEO and head researcher missing, presumed deceased.

AUCR
AUCR standing for Acras-Unity Corpus Research, is a corporation based outside of Glitch city, producing military grade equipement, augments as well as consumer electronics, transportation, Space crafts and food supplies all around the world. They seem to have given up on joining Glitch-city's protectionist environment due to a lack of proper reasons to involve themselves and their hatred for the power of Jinterprise Corp, instead keeping themselves safe of any outsiders interference in the city of Burrow situated in Colorado, which they run from the shadows. Their name is often heard in scandals and cover-ups, but their technology's omnipresence in most new-age weapons and their large presence and control in media outlets around the world has kept them uplfloat since 1956.

They recently accquired the famous Lunar Hadron Cannon

The company is run by Coleman Sanders, Otherwise known as the Commander due to his past in the military and his rough attitude. Their motto is: "The best weapons, for the best soldiers!"

Cyberdyne Corporation
Status: Inactive? Possibly defunct, leadership reported missing.

Diamond Records
A record label hailing from the Japanese X-SEED 4000 gigatower, Diamond Records has paid a surprise visit to Glitch City, looking to expand and diversify its catalogue. The voice of Diamond Records on the Matrix is ホリィ (Horyi/Holy). The company has three in-house musical groups: Stardust Shooters, All-Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven, though rumors circulate in the company's offices about a fourth group they plan to start in Glitch.

The company's executives are mostly a mystery to Glitch, but a few of them have been brought up:

—The World: Head of recruiting/talent scouting. The first Diamond Records executive mentioned.

—Maiden Heaven: The worldwide executive director. Frequently posts on the board pretending to be a typical anon. Has two lackeys, Whitesnake and C-Moon, who handle menial tasks for her. Maiden Heaven has recently been at the center of rumors implying she has some form of control over time. She officially denies these rumors, but stokes them from the shadows just to see how far it'll go.

—Killer Queen: Glitch City regional head. Has a penchant for blowing up things to the point of generating an in-joke within Diamond Records offices that he turns everything he touches into a bomb. Owing to this strange propensity, his correspondence is handled by his brother, Bites the Dust.

—D4C: Killer Queen's Japanese counterpart and a foil to Maiden Heaven. His name stands for "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", but the Japanese fanbase has taken to abbreviating it to just "D4C". Has something of a reputation for pulling off disappearing acts when no one's looking and for sounding like a mafia wiseguy. In the company, his word holds similar weight to Maiden Heaven's.

—Crazy Diamond: Maiden Heaven's close friend. Possessed of absurd mechanical aptitude, her claims to be able to fix anything have ample proof to them. She is officially unaffiliated with Diamond Records, but is on their payroll for undisclosed reasons.

—King Crimson: Purpose unclear, though Maiden Heaven's comments imply he may be Killer Queen's "handler", in a sense. He is married to Maiden Heaven's ex-girlfriend, Epitaph.

Diamond Records has left Glitch City, but some of its executives visit the city on vacations.

Geno Corporation
Status: Active, but several council directors victims of assassination.

Jinterprises Corporation
The largest power company in Glitch City and in several parts of the world, JINTERPRISES CORP uses advanced superconductor tech in their power grid, creating a network that can proudly boast of an up time approaching 99%. To maintain and secure this up time, Jinterprises, like most major corporations, retains its own private military, the agents of which often employ electrical-based weaponry and defenses in addition to more mundane arms.

Since the corporation's primary business is the production of power, the company is rarely forthcoming about its internal workings, choosing instead the path of subtlety and discretion when interacting with others in high society. This is accepted, or at least tolerated, by most of the corporate elite, if not out of respect, then out of the very real fear of electricity being cut at their places of businesses, followed soon after by a strongly worded letter, detailing the reasons for the power outage.

The most visible member of Jinterprises is Jaquilen Jin, a young corporate heiress who is most often seen online in danger/u/ and other social networks, or at public functions. It is rumored that she herself is a researcher and takes part in any secretive corporate experiments that are held behind closed doors, but all attempts to confirm or deny these suspicions have resulted in the offending hackers being kicked out without having learned a thing.

Deckers and divers, however, often refuse to speak about their experience, mentioning nothing in their memoirs save for "a voice," and ending it there.

Jinterprise is specifically headed by Jaquilen Jin's father, Argyle Jin. Described as a brute of a man who holds more than a passing resemblance to the mythological Norse god "ODIN," Argyle, much like his daughter and corporation, prefers to keep to himself; he only ever appears during important corporate functions and the like.

There have been reports of a few times where he has been seen in public, usually flanked by his security forces, but once again, attempts to verify this information have usually resulted in either being kicked out of the Matrix, or at worse, dumpshock.

K-TRAN Conglomerate
"Moving you to a better tomorrow, elsewhere!"

K-TRAN is a conglomerate of multiple different corporations, united under K-TRAN Corporation. Producing absolutely everything related to transportation, from civilian and military vehicles, to software and personnel, K-TRAN is one of the bigger players on galaxy market.

Status: Active, currently expanding Glitch City Airport and does various repairs throughout Industrial District.

Robincorp
"Solutions to all your problems- On the cheep!''"

Robincorp is a newly-arrived corporation whose purpose seems entirely unknown (Though the name and slogan suggest it might have something to do with robins.) Since its arrival in Glitch City, Robincorp has made precisely zero attempts to announce itself or its presence, though it has an affiliate (who calls themselves "cheep" after the only word they know) who occasionally crops up on the board from time to time.

As of the anti-Lilim riots, Robincorp has left Glitch City.

VinderTech Corporation
"Manufacturer of fine vending machines since 2XXX BP!" Recently started to field military-like security units to protect their units Has no idea what to do with their expanded growth.

Voice Corp
