> It is 95 years after the first
Syndicates fought for control. An oppressive peace has reigned, but the
controlling Syndicate, EuroCorp, hasn't been idle. As well as upgrading
the computer control Chips embedded in peoples' brains, they set up a
research team to find out how the Syndicate can utilize more of the
brains they control. Based in Reykjavik, Iceland, for the purposes of
secrecy, C3 (the Cybernetic Cognition Conference) was a group of ten top
scientists carrying out experiments into mind-expansion. If anything,
they were too successful. By trying out their newly-acquired mental
enchancement technology, nine of the ten C3 members drove themselves
insane. Nevertheless, they saw the repression of the Syndicate and
decided to counter it by setting up the Church of the New Epoch,
dedicated to breaking the shackles of their erstwhile employers, the
EuroCorp Syndicate. Only one member
of C3 resisted the madness of total understanding, and broke out of the
group to head off on his own. He is called Ko-Paull Vissick.
