 Here quite a few basic terms that need defining and that occur in the rest of the document. Here quite a few basic terms that need defining and that occur in the rest of the document.
-  * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:Lace]]: A crystal technology grafted onto living cells. It is generally used to enhance the performance of human beings, and occasionally other life-forms. When activated, Lace glows fainting with a color, this color is an indicator of its type. The type of lace is encoded by the creator to denote its purpose.+  * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:Lace]]: A crystal technology grafted onto living cells.

   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:Nano]]: The short term for micromachines, or nanobots. Nano technology is prevalent in the world of 2212.   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:Nano]]: The short term for micromachines, or nanobots. Nano technology is prevalent in the world of 2212.
   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:LightWire]]: This was an amazing breakthrough in Lace, giving it more power at the sake of endurance. LightWire uses itself up and must be regenerated often. LightWire is more powerful than Lace, but costly to maintain.   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:LightWire]]: This was an amazing breakthrough in Lace, giving it more power at the sake of endurance.

   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:ShadowLink]]: The Uplink is designed for linking to one point, the ShadowLink is meant to scatter data to many local sources that are keyed to its encryption. This is often used by agents to link shadow puppets (drones and the like) to them, letting them control them remotely.   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:ShadowLink]]: The Uplink is designed for linking to one point, the ShadowLink is meant to scatter data to many local sources that are keyed to its encryption.

   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:Rooted Omni]]: The omni is the common powerful computing device carried by almost everyone. Its the price of living in such an advanced world. Many root their omni to access restricted features and write their own programs. The rooted omni is a minor illegality (a fine) but the damage it can do is often severe in the wrong hands.   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:Rooted Omni]]: The omni is the common powerful computing device carried by almost everyone.

-  * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:Blank Sig]]: Everyone has a sig in the modern world, an encrypted idea and password that identifies them. Blank sigs have been stolen from the central sig bank, and are valid but unconfigured. A blank sig allows someone to literally be whoever they want, though its hard to make the sig copy a valid real identity. Such theft is the work of super-class-a hackers.+  * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:Blank Sig]]: Everyone has a sig in the modern world, an encrypted id and password that identifies them.

   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:T1 Drone]]: The program has developed these so far unknown drones (to the public). They use cloak technology to remain invisible, but have powerful hover and sometimes other features. Originally designed for nearly undetectable surveillance, they have been bent to new purposes by creative agents. An agent can use a net of T1 drones to walk on air for instance, or seem too at any rate.   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:T1 Drone]]: The program has developed these so far unknown drones (to the public).

   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:Diamond Steel]]: This is a kind of enhancement that both disfigures (though perhaps not horribly) and grants awesome power. Its the cybernetics of 2212, a kind of diamond steel composite that is weaved into and on top of bone.   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:Diamond Steel]]: This is a kind of enhancement that both disfigures (though perhaps not horribly) and grants awesome power.

   * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:Black Nano]]: These are Nano that has been configured for stealth using enhancements discovered when the T1 drone was created. They have the normal nano features, but are almost undetectable using common sensory technology. Only ShadowLink echolocation has been proven possible to detect them, and then only with time and persistence.    * [[Karbon:Terminology Database:Black Nano]]: These are Nano that has been configured for stealth using enhancements discovered when the T1 drone was created.
