Well, she doesn't show up directly, in Corporate Intrigue, but in the mission where Puck leads everyone to Geneva,
[spoiler]they find that Pax has developed a technomantic dissonance 'ritual' that drives AIs insane, and that some of her followers are behind the trouble there, creating dissonance wells all over the place.[/spoiler]

On the topic of bug sprites, i find myself envisioning Agent Smith. Both in the trix and, a certain trick he pulled when he seemed to have piggy backed back to reality. Psychotropically writing a sprite onto the mind of a person, anyone?
Disagree. Agent Smith would be an AI, one of the ones that spawns 'zombies' of itself.
AI, free sprite, not sure i see the diff ;)

As for the Three Big AIs still roaming around... Especially Deus the Evil...

Anyone notice one of the Technomancer Paragons is the World Tree?
Different tree, I think. Deus was modeled after the Tree of Knowledge, I think.

Tree of the Fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil?  Yeah, I don't see Deus making himself that.  No, I'm pretty certain he was going after the World Tree tie-in.

Depending on the translator/Bible Version/Sunday school teacher it's "Knowledge of all Things Between/That Are Good and Evil". Meh, I was just thinking it fit with him being called "Deus" and not "Aesir" or "Asura".

Or whatever the word for God is in the old Norse language.

Well Yggdrasill is quite a different kind of tree. But the idea of three different roots reaching three different realms fits good into the Resonance concept as we know it. Only, there is another worm hidden in this roots, Jötnar. Having the last worm with norse mythology name, Jormungandr,  in the fresh memory, Id advice be walking quietly around this caves.

Several times, actually.  As did dozens of other deckers.  The issue wasn't killing it once, it was discovering that it HAD a code-core, then keeping Jormungand from cascading while you killed it at the root.

Fastjack was in an isolated system, though, so ... it made for a great story.  ;)

Yes, as redwolf mentioned, it's in the SR4A book.
