There is a shared writing system in The Outlook, that the Tribes have roughly come together and agreed on. Whilst some people may have their own individual codes, it is usually possible to understand anything that is written. The exception to this is Citadel script, which is the language of the World Before, which is a reversed version of modern writing. We will provide mirrors next to any documents that are written in Citadel Script. You need to have skills to read and write Citadel script.

	You will have been likely to have met [[AI]] in your time- very few of them will have been highly competent, most repeating the same class of actions ad infinitum. They are instantly recognizable by a symbol or marking on their forehead- although they may additionally have symbols or markings elsewhere. A few of the more competent AIs have groups that they lead, or at least act as advisors to. More complex AIs are often worshipped, or at least treated with wary respect. It is your choice how to define the various AIs you have interacted with, but be aware that there will be groups that will brook little disrespect of their patrons. AIs can be summoned with relative ease if you have made contact with them before, and provide them a medium in which to manifest. This should be some form of technological device- though it can be stored in any sort of appropriate phys-rep (There will be some available for new players, if they want them).

	Some people house AIs in their ka, if they wish to draw on the skills of a particular AI. They may have some odd personality quirks related to the AI they are handling. This is regarded as entirely normal, a natural consequence of communion with a different class of intelligence.

	People are born either [[Strains#Dead Strain\|Dead Strain]] or [[Strains#Gene Strain\|Gene Strain]]. Gene Strains have mutations, and are able to shape those mutations in directions positive for their survival. Dead Strains look much more like those from the World Before, and can interface much better with AI. Two ~~dead strain~~ parents will invariably have a ~~dead strain~~ child; however, this is the only common way that ~~dead strains~~ are parented. If at least one parent is a Gene Strain, the child will almost always also be a Gene Strain. There is little outright rivalry between the groups, but each Tribe has a different mix of both strains, and different attitudes based on their composition.
