History
Linked together, they form a psychic antenna that tracks legends through the network; it found the trail of the Head Hunter. But the hardhold’s coordinates leaked from the office of their leader, Madman, and the missile that followed killed a quarter of the population; Madman died under the rubble. Members also included Tóxica, the always-connected former leader, and the punk band Aloof Media.
Afterward the circle, also called the programodes (“the programmers”), shut itself in the lower floors, buying up all the farafa and dragging Willy Vision into an ecstasy of drugs and programming. When Taito went down to find them, he found Willy Vision’s head still alive, hanging from cables and kept like a relic, prophesying deaths before falling asleep. One of the women gave him a Windows 95-style CD with the secret of keeping a head alive.
