Entry
Artificial intelligence began as simple algorithms meant to simplify our lives. With time, some became convincingly capable of simulating humans, with programmed personalities one could even grow to like. There were also weaponized AIs, essentially military technology used to break through enemy security in the Net. But then netrunner Rache Bartmoss arrived on the scene, and with him the infamous DataKrash.
Bartmoss' target was the corporate data fortresses, his goal to steal the data held within and unleash it into the Net. What he achieved was a full-blown war that would transform cyberspace for good. As a direct result, AIs began to mutate, becoming deadly dangerous. Thus, rogue AIs were born.
At that point, NetWatch runners were forced to design the Blackwall, a powerful artificial intelligence with only one job: keep the rogue AIs out of the remnants of the Net that survived the Krash.
Officially, nobody ever ventures beyond the Blackwall. Unofficially... well, believe what you like.
