I'm interested in some of the side things we're seeing especially in the U.K.
[ Spoiler ]
There's a lot of stuff going on with the Oversight Board, and some of their dirty laundry being hacked and aired early in the book. Later, on g 64 , it talks about Queen Caroline publicly crticizing the OB's handling of the situation and asking them to not "excacerbate the situation".
So now Princess Caroline is the Queen, and last we heard, she may or may not have been having Johnny Spinrad's love child. On top of that , the OB is catching more heat, and the monarchy is vocally opposing them on something at least. Interested on seeing more happenings in the UK, after this and the piece in Street Magic.
Also, the Seattle Governor's race is lookign interesting. Haven't finished the book yet, but Josephine has dropped out, so I'm expecting to see Brackhaven make Governor.

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?

Given all the UK players, yes. Time to update us, please.

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.
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...
