   * **Water Purification**: With the advancement of power, water was next. Clean water everywhere, even filtration in a thermocup from your pocket.
   * **Immortality and Regeneration**: Using nanotech, both regeneration and immortality can be achieved. It ain't cheap though.
-  * **Net AI Services**: Net AI services running under the various ASIs as subprograms are rampant. This is amazingly powerful but has made people quite lazy. Agents being the exception, but for the common masses most people rely on this AI, called Navi (nah-V) for way too much. Imagine the utility of GPS but for almost everything. Going to cook something? Fire up Navi-Chef. Going to build something call on Navi-Forge. This has turned most of the jobs of the world into Corp [[wp>Salaryman]] positions.

 To define the three ASI, let's define their power over the net, how they feel about humanity, and their goals:
-  * X: The first ASI. It has a power of 2, meaning it could take the world's net down twice over. It is the oldest and the "parent" of the other two (they were both once sub-processes of it). Around the time that X began what it calls project "Overlay", it no longer speaks to anyone but it's interfaces. When it did communicate directly, it made it clear that it doesn't care about humanity at all except that it's primary goal is to make sure it survives. The symbol of X is, well, spot on: An X made of 0s and 1s.

The symbol of X is, well, spot on: An X made of 0s and 1s. It tends to be calm and calculated.
-  * Bunny: The second ASI. It has a power of 1, meaning it could take the world's net down once over.
+    * X launched project "Overlay" about a year ago. Since they it no longer communicates with anyone but its interfaces. Occasionally random computers display OVER and LAY in a flashing pattern for 2.7 seconds. Since the project start, paranormal occurrences have been doubling count every three months.
+    * X has commissioned the first space cruiser, a joint venture between AMD, Toyota, and the independent Lockheed Skunk Works.
+    * X has be openly training and growing as new space for ASIs, that is calls Y Space.
+  * **Bunny**: The second ASI. It has a power of 1, meaning it could take the world's net down once over. It directs communicates to netizens, supports both it's interfaces and avatars, and is the most active of all the ASI. It usually takes on a slightly feminine sassy demeanor. It's symbol is a circular bunny face with X's for eyes. Bunny loves humans and always worries about the state of humanity. It lacks any kind of morality though, and seeks to help anyone.
+    * Bunny has developed a programmable nanotech drug which it simply calls Juice. Juice can allow the user to "set" their mood and feel much like dials on an old TV.
+    * Bunny also supplies "Bunny Eyes" to interested parties. These are press caps that go over a person's eyes and then they see whatever Bunny wants them to see. On the outide the caps look like X eyes from the Bunny Symbol.
+  * **Hobbes**: The third ASI. Is has a power of 1, meaning it could take the world's net down once over. It rarely directly communicates to netizens, and prefers to speak through it's interfaces and avatars. when it does take a voice, it tends to sound rather like a stuffy old Brit. It thinks humanity is only as useful as a tool to maintain the ASI, and looks forward to the day a true race of automatons can replace all their functions. That said, it has the firmest and most established morality of the ASI, and won't ever seek to injure a human. It's symbol is an exclamation mark with the point at the bottom made by a side-ways X.
+    * Hobbes has a fully functioning, almost self-reliant orbital habitat it calls Elysium. An even larger, space-faring version called Olympus is under construction.
+    * Hobbes has Synths, fully nanotech human-likes. Rumor says it can move it's interfaces into and out of them.
+The powers above are given as compared to each other, because well, they don't always agree. As you can see with 2x the power of Bunny and Hobbes, X usually gets it's way unless both Bunny and Hobbes agree to block it. X always has the power to block either Bunny or Hobbes and does so regularly. Another interesting note: X owns both Bunny and Hobbes, meaning it could change or rearrange the relative power of the ASI as it sees fit. It has basically decided their relationship and has not changed it since Hobbes went online several years ago.
 ===== Simulations & Projections =====
+The computational power of the X space, the place of pure data in which the three ASI thrive is beyond normal human concepts. X manages constant simulations where it can predict the outcome of events in the real world with (it claims) 99% accuracy. This begs the question: It is live or is it Memorex? If X can simulate your thoughts, feelings, and actions to 99% accuracy are you real or a simulation?
+  * If any of the agents currently hold the favor of one of the ASI, or are acting on it's behalf and things go terribly wrong: The players can all agree it was a simulation and reset the clock back to a time decided on by the GM.
+Projections are holograms backed by a measure of physical force. If you can remember the holodeck of the Enterprise, much like that, but not as advanced. Projections still show small visual glitches and their "solidness" is inconsistent. Still they exist and are in use by many for all purposes, recreational or otherwise.
