Governments around the world publicly established research programs involving technomancers or "revealed" formerly secret programs to the public (hiding deeper the more darker projects). Technomancers were persecuted all around the world for a time, a mini-version of what happened to orks and trolls decades earlier. at least until the activities of Sojourner and Pulsar, the first digital intelligences to "go public." This event painted technomancers in a harshly negative light and brought about a massive witch-hunt. Their combined powers were sufficient to massively disrupt the local Matrix, and the media pinned the blame for the explosion on them - exacerbated by the release of a security video showing one of the patients brutally murdering a doctor at the facility. Then in 2070, a Hong Kong research facility operated by Mitsuhama Computer Technologies exploded during the escape of a dozen "patients," actually forced experiment victims of a secret program of MCT's. These incidents might have been ignored as unrelated or frauds except for their strange similarity, albeit at greater intensity, to the powers of the otaku, "children of the Matrix" presumed killed or stripped of their powers during the Second Crash. Strange events throughout the 2064-2070 period caused independent investigators to search for connections children found operating hacked machines with no apparent commlink and no history of sufficient technical aptitude, 'techno-wizards' performing magic tricks on seedy night acts, and leaks of hacked data referring to test subjects with mysterious powers. Many were institutionalized due to the severity of the symptoms several corporations quietly took a special interest in this ailment, and some of the patients were moved into special corp-sponsored facilities and their datatrails altered or erased. This mysterious ailment manifested after the Second Crash sufferers reported schizophrenia-like symptoms caused, apparently, by the presence of wifi Matrix broadcasts.

They were unknown to the general public for many years, until a series of events forced them into the public eye.ĪIPS (Artificially Induced Psychotropic Schizophrenia) Technomancers first appeared shortly after the Second Matrix Crash of 2064 most seem to be reborn Otaku or people who were 'trapped' in the VR Matrix during the Crash, though some seem to have no connection to either of these groups. 1.1 AIPS (Artificially Induced Psychotropic Schizophrenia).
