In the year 4000, I3+, the world's highest form of technology, has been hacked by the notorious criminal D.A.. In an attempt to eliminate him and prevent the damage he may cause, the previously incarcerated Syn is employed to find and destroy him. Upon being given the opportunity, Syn escapes, causing unimaginable damage to the network around him and releasing the information necessary for accessing GRID to the general public. At least, the public that is smart enough to see an opportunity and exploit it.
Seeing as you have already entered, you are one of these few.
While reasonably complex, gaining access to GRID is the easiest part of utilizing it. Given powers unimaginable in the human world, GRID is a new beginning, and a means to your own end--no matter what your motives are. Will you be able to shape it to your will, or be eliminated?
While they have not entirely given up their efforts, the JPNF have momentarily backed off their security of GRID in order to create new strategies regarding it's regulation, making it possible for new users to enter almost entirely unnoticed. The flux of incoming data has resulted in an electrical storm in Corruption Chasm, causing some short circuiting and outrages capable of destroying unknowing Bots. It is best to avoid the area if possible.
