My thinking is the Consensus is something more akin to a hive mind like in the book Technognesis by Sine Mitchell.    Think an AI made up of the shared processing of human brains, it only uses something like less than 1% of a human brain but get enough brains together and that is a lot of power.

Sunshine said it best in a recent shadowchat from one of the books. Horizon employees tend to want to do what's best for the world. That's part of the corporate culture. However, every Horizon employee believes that the world is better off if Horizon is in it, which means they'd be willing to go to extreme lengths to make sure that happens.
Still better than most Megas.
Yea, but Serenity's Operative worked on the same principle. They make you like Horizon until you realize you have competing views over "better place"

On one hand, I'm glad I don't have an NDA.

On the other hand, though, I'm going to pretend I do.

And on the other hand, I'm going to say that I've already told you what was going on...

I was thinking something along the lines of insect sprites, not magic, but similar to bugs.

"So above, as below.", that makes sense.

We have "Toxic" Sprites (Dissonant Sprites), so "Insect" Sprites (Bug Sprites) makes sense too.

BTW:  The term comes from one of the first computers, where a moth flew into one of the connections and always had it set as "On".  They have the error report still, with the moth scotch taped onto the memo card because they didn't think anyone would believe them.

How would that work, exactly? I mean, Insect spirits have to take a host to exist on the material. Are you suggesting sprites that can basically use people as metahuman biodrones?

I was thinking healthy sprites, actually.  You call up your old buddy V1kt0rz the Free Sprite...  And he ain't home no more...

Queens would invade AIs.

I was thinking coming through a comlink, similar to the way some of the dissonant viruses work.

E-insects (roach swarm) + Animal Control (Roach) power of a Roach Spirit.


Or something similar.


Ants seem even more appropriate, especially the ones drawn to electricity.
