PROLOGUE
There was a time many cycles ago when the GRID did not exist.
One day the Architects came together and built the POINT. The Architects saw much potential in the POINT. They set out to duplicate the POINT again and again, connecting them all until they had created the LINE.
The Architects were very happy with the LINE, as it allowed them the ability to give access to the User. The Users created Programs that inhabited the LINE and operated from POINT to POINT along the LINE.
The Architects determined that they could again expand upon their successful creation. Assembling a multitude of LINES connected together in an alternating orientation they forged the GRID.
Now there was memory for even more Users. The Architects added so many LINES to the GRID and so many new Users ran their Programs that there came to be a division amongst the Users.
One group of Users became known as the Admins. This group was granted full access to take care of the GRID. Admins wrote programs that maintained the GRID's key functions and ensured that GRID resources were available to all.
The second group of Users came to be known as the End-Users. The End-Users did not create programs like the Admins did. End-Users took programs the Admins had written and installed them to the GRID. End-Users cleverly reconfigured these Programs as they saw fit, such as running Programs that decorated the GRID with colorful wallpaper as well as Programs that would perform music every mini-cycle of the day. End-Users and their programs ensured that all available storage was filled to capacity with extremely important data.
The End-Users were many in number and each one executed many Programs at the same time. This led to frequent overcrowding on the GRID.
The Admins would become aware of the GRID's overcrowding and order their Security Programs to descend from Server Mountain down to the public areas of the GRID and deal with the threat to GRID system stability. The Security Programs would mercilessly terminate any Programs the Admins had determined were "Unauthorized".
Countless Programs would fall by the purge, their unprocessed data bleeding out into the ether as they were de-rezzed. The screams of the End-Users at the loss of so many faithful Programs did not stop the Admins from completing their dark mission of tyranny.
And so the war between the Admins and the End-Users grew ever stronger.
The End-Users needed a hero.
