Search & Feed
Knowledge is a thought away. Static infodumps and immediate access to any and every live data feed. If you don’t know it, you’ll know it in moments. The live data keeps you in the know from nearby crime watch, semi-public closed-circuit camera feeds to any and every active news feed.
Passive: You have visual access to camera feeds in up to a 1 kilometer radius around you. You have access to The Feed, which updates you with real time live news.
You may be subject to ads.
Note: Search & Feed is a “Within Reason” ability. On the Storyteller’s side of the fence, it is an excellent way to push story hooks and provide outside information to the party through the player with a Cranial Implant. Discretion is advised.
Deep Dive: Temp Vid Feed Doc (DD:TVFD)
Finding specific data is akin to finding the needle in the stack, but finding a specific View Out/In Device and altering the data displayed in that one instance, or pull from database, is significantly more easy.

Tangled Web
From the outside the Data Mind seems to be one massive ant colony-like being, conspiracy suggests that the Data Mind is just a slapped on paint job covering up the Artificial Mind’s take over.
From the inside of the Data Mind, we see the powerless, disconnected, and programmed. Those who do not have the freedom to cook their own Feed are isolated to the realities of their available channels.
