So, this is coming up and this largely my fault. But assumptions are being made of the setting due to LHG’s long-running IRC continuity. But let me be clear here— this is [i]NOT[/i] that. In many ways this continuity we have here is an alternate variation and lore should not be presumed. I should’ve worked harder on the infodump (which I will rectify) but this is me nipping this in the bud.

The correct term for the internet of the 27th century that I will be using is the Hypernet. 

Pilots on the tram unless they have long-standing histories or information do [i]NOT[/i] have elaborate dossiers of their to-be comrades. It is like going to a business interview blind; the only thing they know about the New Anchorage cab is that it has pilots who are going for the job as well as other individuals going to New Anchorage on their own business (like Ingram). 

If I have not elaborated enough on the adapted setting please let me know.
