Summary

The gang goes into the Resonance Realms to achieve objectives for AIs worldwide and get their aid on a prime run. As for why they want to aid with the prime run, motives differ. They succeed, but several emerge from the Realms changed.

Background

Iron got in touch with an agent of Garmonbozia. They offered to aid him in the Matrix Conference Prime run, but the catch is that they require being Erased from GOD's Wanted databases thoroughly. Since Iron is relatively aware he won't be able to just break into GOD's headquarters Rating 12 host, he opts to search the Resonance Realms instead and erase the data remotely from there. To this end, Geodesic, Fennec and Pulse are all teaming up to find the files and get things going. Oh, and Caliban's there too. Fennec and Geodesic have their own motivations for entering the Realms, Caliban doesn't want Pax's efforts to succeed and Pulse is coming at it from the protest's angle, wanting to help them and this seems as good of an experience as any.

The Meet

The meet occurs in a motel room Fennec's rented. Iron almost attacks the Dissonants as a pre-emptive measure against contamination, but reluctantly keeps his fury at bay due to having more important, large scale goals. The search for access to the Resonance Realms begins and the team splits into two halves. Fennec, Geodesic and Caliban begin to take a trip to Manhattan to find a Resonance Well while Pulse and Iron head to a park in New York, looking for an urban legend that may just be a Resonance Rift. Both discover their goals, although Pulse and Iron discover Dissonant Technomancers entering the Resonance Rift. The trio of technomancers in Manhattan undergo harrowing experiences against the Great Firewall, entering the Realms in a proper manner unlike the cheating duet in NY proper.

  3. Iron uploads his Erased protocols into the data streams at the behest of Harold/Herald of Garmonbozia in order to help various AIs who are Wanted by GOD to hide from their pursuers; he also discovers a portal to the Null Node formed by LZW into Tombstone, taking measures to seal the breach before being pulled into the depths after taunting Jormungand, presumed lost.
