Plot: Web of Horrors/Summary
A spate of strange illness has spread throughout the city of Prospect with several people ending up in the hospital, braindead. While local papers have mentioned the occurrences, there doesn't seem to be any realization on the mundane's part that this is anything other than unusual accidents, linked only by the strange circumstances of their affliction. Those in the know would recognize the symptoms: these poor souls seem to have gone Linkdead, their minds trapped in the Digital Web while their meatspace bodies linger.
But surely this is impossible, right? One needs a very specialized VR rig (not to mention Sphere Magick) to be able to go in so deep into the Digital Web that such a thing would happen. Sleepers and Sleeper technology simply could not do it. What is going on?
Meanwhile in the Digital Web, someone has been corrupting unformatted Sectors, turning them into twisted nightmare hellscapes at a breakneck pace. It won't be long before the entirety of the local subnet is filled with these areas of malfeasance and the crawling corruption shows no sign of stopping.
Could these two events be related? If so, how? And what can be done to stop the ever creeping chaos invading the local webspace and save the poor souls trapped there?
