New World Network (Artifact)

By Anders Sandberg

This is the New World Order main computer network. It contains not only technomantic computers, but also government, military and commercial computers infiltrated by the New World Order. Using this network the technomancers can quickly access almost all information about someone or something.

It is a deeply paranoid network, filled with security checks and expert systems constantly on their guard for intruders. All information is encrypted. The whole network is slow and cumbersome, but very secure. Still, many technomancers suspect that there may be trapdoors or security holes left by Virtual Adepts.

Inside the Network the user can search for information about anything, but every access is logged. Expert systems scan for users who display unusual interests, especially in areas outside their normal work. If the New World Order find an intruder, they immediately send the Men In Black to the intruders location, send net-spiders into his computer and reorganise the areas accessed. If the intruder have found names or addresses for agents, they are immediately moved or eliminated ("No security is better than compromised security". Old New World Order saying).
