A1 There’s no escape from the City even with three ways out—air, sea and space. The Ports offer the illusion of escape from within a labyrinthine universe of steel, concrete and abandoned warehouses. A black market of imports from what’s left of the rest of the world, far from the prying cameras of the SecCorps (so long as the bribes keep flowing). Drugs and guns, clubs and fun; this is the entertainment district of Cy’s true citizens. Corps, mobs, VIP-celebs and street gangs vie for dominance, their gunfights drowned out only by the cacophonous hedonism on display.

This is where the rock fell, fell, where the bombs dropped. A post-apocalyptic quagmire kept in quarantine by a massive wall monitored by auto-turrets and armed drones.

One of the doors on the G0 bulwark is said to lead to the underground killclub/music venue called My My Wall. Secret societies like the Terpischore Sisters are said to frequent it, using it as a forward base for their enclave deep beneath Old Cy.

y’s industrial zones are nightmarish sectors; gargantuan in scale, overflowing with poison and peril. The steel isle of Mosscroft reigns foulest of them all—a toxic hellscape rivaling Central in size. A barbed wire labyrinth of fume-spewing factories and overtaxed power plants where the overworked and underpaid are herded like cattle to toil until they break. Industry must feed Cy’s eternal consumption.

ACCESS DENIED Locked safely behind gates upon gates, the hills and valleys away from the urban expanse of the Ports and Central crawl with fortress-like villas and mansions swallowed by private parks and frivolous splendor. The higher you climb, the greater the luxury, the tighter the security. Officially, there is no crime in the Hills, as any unfamiliar face is tracked and rendered in a panopticon of surveillance feeds, and the SecCorps are paid well for their discretion and their brutality when dealing with anyone without an invitation or home here. Galgbacken is an old-money neighborhood. Home to three of Cy’s most influential people: CEO of UCS–United Citadel Security Mr. O.B.P. Gunner, President of Alliansen Inc. Board Mrs. Lia, and Dr. Daevy, lead researcher of TG Labs. Several new buildings on Oak Isles are constructed in strangely ancient and occult architectural styles. No public records exist concerning ownership or purpose of these structures, which loom malevolently in the skyline. 20

The NET
With its roots in primitive games and military experimentation with cranial jacks, the Net is a consensual semihallucination continuously experienced by almost everyone. A fractal amalgamation of AR, VR, old internet and cyberspace. The Net is an omnipresent deity; it is everywhere, in everything, in everyone. Impossible to map or escape. Always trying to sell you something, keep you scared and hack your behaviour. With a Retinal Communication Device, anyone can access the top, shallow levels. Venturing deeper, beyond consumer access zones, requires a cyberdeck, and to affect your immediate meatspace surroundings, you also need the proper Apps.
Going deep requires mental resilience. To dive into unthinkable complexity, among lines of light in the dark of the mind. Getting black-iced is allegedly the worst way to die. But such warnings lack imagination. Hacker collectives whisper of strange anomalies and enigmatic, nightmarish manifestations
hiding in the deepest, darkest data chasms. They could only be born by one or multiple sentient entities
of terrible, science-defying power: 01100101 01100001 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110010 01101001 01100011 01101000
