I don't think we've heard anything from Deus ever since he instigated the Second Crash. And as far as anyone can tell, the structure of the post-Crash 2.0 Matrix doesn't allow for the existence of AIs like Deus, Morgan, etc. anymore.
But come on! This is Deus we're talking about, the baddest motherfucker to ever walk the Matrix. He's got to be around somewhere. So where is he? My personal theory is that Deus is currently running Horizon, from beyond the scenes. Think about it - Horizon rose to AAA status as a direct result of the Crash 2.0. It would be just like Deus to instigate the opening of a seat on the Corporate Court, just to get himself a foothold. More than any other megacorp, Horizon is researching virtuakinetics (the otaku of yesteryear, they were more connected to the rise of Deus than any other humans) and AIs. There are rumors that they're building biodrones out in the desert - sounds a lot like the results of Deus' years of study in the SCIRE being put to work. And here's the kicker - within the SCIRE, Deus was all about omniscient control. He saw everything, knew everything that happened within its walls. But he was only able to get that kind of control within the SCIRE because he had eyes and ears everywhere. There's no way he could get that kind of total information awareness out in the world. That would require every single person to be broadcasting everything they see and hear, all the time... Gee, sounds a lot like Persona 2.0, doesn't it? Does anyone have canonical information that supports or disproves this theory? Anyone care to elucidate or elaborate? |
