In the 21th Century all transactions are handled by agents, expert programs that interact on the NET. These Artificial Intelligences act as brokers, salesmen, researchers, and middlemen of all kind working for their wealthy human masters. Some of them are smart, very smart, but none are sentient... yet.

Your role is to select a computer system (or avatar) and with a set of basic programs to start the game. Once on the NET, you will need to explore and find information that you can sell on the black market so that you may increase the power of your computer or acquire more advanced software. You can have more than one goal to achieve to win the game and none will be set for you, except survival. Via NET play, you will be able to form alliances with other hackers or rogues on the NET or attack them if you wish. But beware,there are ghosts in the system. Some say that the military lost control over some artificial intelligence programs years ago and those personalities are roaming the NET freely. Some may be helpful while others will fry your brain. Use your masking and chameleon skills to blend in and defend yourself. When you are ready, you can attack with stealth or with brute force. Only your intelligence and cunning will protect you here.
