CyberSpace

## Basic Information

CyberSpace, one of the several branching sources of power that the Database had established. CyberSpace, unlike that of the Mainframe or The Garden, doesn’t have any significant purpose upfront, however, once learning what exactly CyberSpace does for the Manicverse itself, one might argue that it has one of the most important jobs. CyberSpace itself serves as a data storage for everything within the Manicverse, even for things that might not be exactly tangible, they’ll have some form of physical representation within CyberSpace so that it can be handled accordingly. However, despite how these concepts have tangible states within CyberSpace, they still cannot be interacted with unless someone has any form of conceptual authority, in fact, these tangible strands of code are the most vulnerable and effective way to extract concepts from the Manicverse, even if that still means they’re incredibly difficult, essentially nigh-impossible to grab hold of. As to what exactly CyberSpace is or appears like, it’s essentially a large, black void, however, this black void appears to have a grid-like appearance, the lines being a neon green. Once entering CyberSpace, the only noticeable stands of code will be the strands zipping by, all of which are gathering around the CyberSpace’s Core. Similar to the Database as well as the Mainframe, CyberSpace has a core that allows the Database to power it, as without this Core, CyberSpace would cease to function, only to then inevitably collapse on itself. After traveling in the direction of the moving code for an extended amount of time, excluding instantaneous transportation, the Core of CyberSpace appears to be almost resemble that of a city, as towering, void-black buildings seemingly stretch indefinitely into the void above, each building having a neon-green outline to it.

In comparison to The Database and the Mainframe, there isn’t nearly as much radiation littering CyberSpace, as unlike the Mainframe, which has 593.02W/kg of radiation, CyberSpace only has 359.058W/kg of Radiation, which is still a substantial amount, being lethal to those who aren’t naturally able to adapt to such conditions, though in comparison to The Garden, CyberSpace is still littered with Radiation. Something also to note about CyberSpace is the fact that CyberSpace is much colder than either the Mainframe, though slightly warmer than that of the Database. CyberSpace’s temperatures lay at a solid -150℃, which is six times colder than the Mainframe. Due to these harsh conditions, it mostly deters most from staying within CyberSpace longer than necessary. Like the other branches of power, CyberSpace has a large amount of influence and authority. Both of these derive directly from the Database, because CyberSpace was formerly the internal structuring of the Database when all of the branches of power didn’t exist, and it was solely the Database. Furthermore, because of all the code which is present and how quickly said code needs to travel, there are immense levels of energy present. In CyberSpace, like the Mainframe, there’s presumably an infinite amount of energy present, though this is nothing in comparison to the immeasurable amount of energy the Database has. This energy is used to essentially fuel all forms of movement and the inner workings of CyberSpace.

CyberSpace, because of it being a branch of the Database, its authority is as extensive as reaching feats in comparison to the Outerverse. Without the level of authority that CyberSpace has been granted, it wouldn’t be able to fulfill any of its functions, especially due to the amount of conceptual and dimensional authority that must be achieved and surpassed. In terms of stability, CyberSpace isn’t as stable as the Database, yet is slightly more stable than the Mainframe. Overall, their stabilities all reside within the Neutral Zone for stability scoring for the most part. However, unlike the Database and the Mainframe, CyberSpace is inhabited by coded entities which were constructed specifically by CyberSpace to carry out specific functions.

CyberSpace is operated by a group of coded entities, these entities go by the name of Archivists, though while most of them simply handle the code that travels through CyberSpace, some are more specialized, allowing for a class system of sorts amongst the inhabitants. There are the general Archivists, who simply handle the existing code. This code is typically what’s traveling to and from CyberSpace as these Archivists ensure the code and data being processed is stable enough to be accepted into CyberSpace, but also to ensure it can be safely, and effectively transported out. In comparison to the typical Archivists, there are Neo-Archivists, this sub-rank to Archivists strictly handle new code or files, typically these files or code have never been seen by the Database, which is why it’s sent to CyberSpace to be processed. Technicians are a group of Archivists that solely exist to ensure that CyberSpace, along with the other branches of power are functioning as intended. While they can’t do much to the Database, due to its overwhelming authority, they can however help maintain the other branches of power. Following the Technicians are the Curators, which oversee everything that the Archivists do, along with the entirety of CyberSpace itself. The head Curator would be the Core of CyberSpace, as everything that changes or is modified within CyberSpace or any code within its storage must be verified through the Core. Finally, there are the Guardians, a group of Archivists which venture throughout the branches of power and ensure that nothing attempts to infiltrate them. Each branch typically has some form of Firewall or defense to protect itself from any invaders, though these Archivists are simply an extra layer of security. With the exception of these Archivists, there are no other known inhabitants within CyberSpace.
