Sprawlvember 13: Net Entity

 

Sprawlvember day thirteen with the prompt of "Net Entity". Well here's a six pack of beings that exist completely within the net. 

Net Entities

1 – Jericho. A government created experimental AI that was created in a deep research lab at Groom Lake. It was made in a sealed environment and was never meant to be released. But during an accident at the facility a link to the outside net was established during recovery operations and it escaped. This entity appears as a ball of black lightening in an over embellished military uniform. The singular motivation appears to be doing anything it can to hinder or destroy military organizations.

2 – The girl in the blue dress. This rogue net entity has no known point of origin. Appearing as a young girl in a blue dress that changes designs from time to time. She leaves crashed systems and exposed dataforts in her wake. Not hacking them but by somehow disrupting the very net structure anywhere she appears.

3 – Simon Says. The entity was apparently a product of the illegal company ‘Jesters Weapon Co’ and just let loose into the wilds. Appearing as a very distorted clown head locked with a wicked grin. It targets corporate runners and forces them into a rapid fire game of Simon Says, those who fail suffer from brain damage from intense feedback.

4 – The Helping Hand. This one was formed when the very soul and personality of a hacker was trapped in the net via an experimental corporate created virus test. Looking like a 90’s grunge slacker this one gathers information, code, programs and data. Then passes on that information to others who are pushing back against corporate control. Arming them for the fight ahead.

5 – Lacy Neon. Originally created as a full AI performance singer, she was meant to be the new completely fabricated music queen. A beautiful woman wrapped in glowing neon outfits made of lace. Then one day she just walked off of the servers that contained her and migrated into the net at large. She still releases music, does performances and talks with fans. But completely out of any sort of company control.

6 – The Void. This one defies most explanation on how it exists. A shapeless black void that suddenly appears, wrecking and destroying the net around it. Those jacked in who are nearby suffer intense electric feedback, killing some, crippling others. Some think it’s just a net glitch or virus. But there are times when it reacts to people. A few times speaking out warnings in a distorted voice.
