So the group I'm running SR4 for consists of a technomancer, an AI, and a mundane(technically) hacker. All of them are fairly inquisitive out-of-character and interested in the lore, and this is reflected in-character as an introspective streak among all of them, along with a historical/scientific smattering of Knowledges concerning AIs, Matrix phenomena, and so forth, and they've begun asking relatively reasonable questions as to how the technomancer functions in the hopes of better integrating his abilities with the others.
Unfortunately, I'm not terribly well versed in SR4 Matrix lore, particularly on the two topics above. Thus I have to ask: Insofar as has been revealed, how do TMs have a commlink in their head that lets them make/summon sprites and enter Matrix-type spaces that aren't the Matrix? |
