I'm interested in some of the side things we're seeing especially in the U.K.

Wonder if I should make a pitch for making London a primary location in Cities of Intrigue...

Also wondering about the capture of "Quicksilver" , who's code also traces back to Novatech. Just remembering that great old run Imago, and how the deck Quicksilver used went to Transys. Coincidence? Honestly wondering.
@Synner - if not, keep seeding little kernels throughout the books. Edit: Another interesting one I just noticed was the capture of the technomancer Michael Bishop by Renraku Security forces in Boston. If memory serves, isn't that Ronin's real name, from Technobabel and Brainscan? |

There are loads more like that. Heck, there's even a tip of the hat to Universal Brotherhood (brownie points to whoever picks up on it). |

I was making some funny asotiations while reading emergence Preview . The index says Swiss goverment has declared an "open season" on TM ( well , you wouldn't like that your favorite swiss bank account be washed up by some sprite just to feed TM). Now , for all i know , The Templars were the founding society behind sweeden. Could that mean that the Templars Society is interested in hunting TMs as well ? ( after all , wouldn't they think TM are "aberrations to the eyes of God" ?

Well, the Pope does welcome Tms later in the book.
I'm guessing the Realms Beyond group. Lone leader of a little cult. Every can hear the droning voice, buit only one person can communicate with it. Says the leader's a technomancer but it could be a hacker/shaman with a cybercomm. Personally I'm hoping the ARC organization is something like that. The ACHE would make agreat place for a wasp hive. :vegm: |

Nope, not that one...it's somewhat more 'personal', you could say...

It's the search agent called Wanderly, right? |

@raggedhalo: Yes it is. Sunshine's other searchbot, Davitt, was accidentally deleted during editing ;-)

Actually I thought the double reference would make it too obvious, so I dropped it in editing. The implict idea is that Wanderly was Sunshine's mentor back when he started out...
