Alice recognized what this was: a Victorian server farm. The V-Net was as decentralized as the old internet—it belonged to no single controlling entity. However, if a clan maintained key pieces of infrastructure, they were allowed to overwrite the greeting protocols with their own flavor.

Some towers were bleeding-edge high tech, others looked to the past for morals and rules to separate them from the filth of the streets.
