<title>Introduction</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The world has blown itself up twice now, once human on human, and a second time human on computer. Today, cyborgs and humans jointly work to rebuild a world maddly gone wrong.</p>

<p>Agroanthropolis is a gloomy post WWIV devistated urban sprall. The once common metropolis has obsorbed and reinvented the suburbia so many times people lost count. Buildings of an ornate style lay half erect in the post redevelopment giving the city s broken saw tooth like skyline. Kendero is redeveloped and home to the elite few, and the cyborg contingents. Just outside of Kendero live the multitude which is rarely recognized and never visited.</p>

<p>The setting is a is a black door bar, kleethy, where the highs and lows meet to become a norm.</p>

<p>Arial is a paramilitary trained programmer, before the war her duty was to infiltrate the computer networks and evaluate moves which were being planned by the computers. Raygun Carson, foundly know as Ray, is her great love which she works with now, creating infomation paths for elite users. If there are ever any elite this side of Kendero they would surely only be coming to meet Arial.</p>

<p>Buchet3 is a local cyborg warrior who has never really seen the light day. He spends most of his time in Kleethy unless there is some abrstraction which hits on one of the other reaches of the city.</p>

<p>Futura is an exotic entertainment droid, in love with Buchet3 though her love goes silent between the two yet the world hears it loudly.</p>

<p>Raygun is a slick mess!. Whatever looks like it is going well for him, boom he stumbles and bumbles... He is a great dreamer and his love is pure romantic. Just that close and it is always so far. His focus is information paths and his passion Arial.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://dimitri.negroponte.com/blog/ger/images/story1.jpg"><img alt="story1.jpg" src="http://dimitri.negroponte.com/blog/ger/images/story1-thumb.jpg" width="98" height="150" align="left" /></a></p>

<p>Information Paths are a product that at about the turn of the millennia sub divided into two directions one business and the obvious entertainment. A design took the idea and build a entertainment drug. Highly adictive and effectively mind bending, therefore extremely requested by the young and afluent.</p>

<p>Paths in the business world are software enviroments which help people understand there work or evaluate designs or medical research. Big business use paths to understand product outcome before products come go to market. Recently the WC world Commune set a mandate that all companies had to evaluate using paths so as to not wrongly effect users. Paths are one of the primary tools for medical research which has help to aradicate all virii and diseases we have ever had to afront.</p>

<p>Ray and Arial build these paths for large businesses by day and by night the work the rich and needy.</p>

<p>Paths were built from a biomechanical DNA Memory Transcoder(BDMT). The nano machine would enter the brain and replicate the brain pulse during and event. Then would return to the point of entery and then could be replicated or viewed. The Medical companies would test and evaluate new treatments in computers after a return of a few samplesfrom the BDMT. Where as Ray unofficial customers would have a person Pathed and the user would take the Path directly into their system from the extracted Path.</p>]]></description>

<title>Jack</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Jack is what history books would define as a Player. He was always coming up with new women under his arms and stories to tell. He had once fallen deeply for a girl he would come to blows with people for, just to learn later after loosing a long time friend over an argument about her, that she was a seriously mental case, homicidal. That was the past now he was a girl-crazed man running the style side of the Paths industry.</p>

<p>Ray always went to him when he had a high paying elitist who wanted a great night. For example one night on his birthday he dosed himself and hit three clubs and enjoyed three different women over the night.</p>

<p>Ray and Buchet3 met up with Jack a grungy café. After a few juices they went to the back and patched Jack up. The three would re convene the next day to download the Path recorded the night before.</p>
