eople, yet, they are not of the normal kind. Marcus recruited every single genius with and I.Q of over 150, and 1,000 human hybrids. Human hybrids were still a pretty new concept even though the first one was augmented over a hundred years ago. There were many different variations of hybrids. Some were used strictly for storing data in themselves. Others were used for personal bodyguards. Some were strictly made for pleasure purposes, although those were kept very confidential. Some were made for specific jobs, and then disregarded, and last some were made for a little bit of everything.

The theory was that someone with implanted chips in their mind could jack in to a computer somewhere and live in a sort of virtual world where all the same rules apply as here. Only about 300 million people on Earth out of 17 billion were capable of doing this so you could imagine the controversy. As you can imagine Marcus made sure every person in his city was either a hybrid or capable to jack in. Now jacking in was a bit trickier than people thought at first. It was originally experimented using the back of the head to jack in but soon aborted due to the fact that 9 in 10 people were suffering chronic amnesia and memory lapse. Later it was found that if they jacked up through the nerves in the spinal cord that it was a lot safer. Easier said than done. How to get the nerves connected to a terminal proved to be very difficult. So what had to be done was in order to jack a person up, they would have to go to a doctor and have them connect all of the nerves and nerve endings and make one central nerve that protruded out of the back. Sort of like having a tail but in the middle of your back. That in itself proved to be very painful, having a nerve stick out of your back. That lead to doctors inventing a process to de...
