A Chipper, or sometimes casually Chiphead, has purchased a Mirrochip on the black market. While each person in Etheria is a node in the galactic ‘Net, their mind is blocked from accessing it directly by the thought barrier. Not the Chipper, they plug the Mirrochip into their port, and then can jack into the Matrix. This is a projection of the ‘Net as a virtual space a chipper can enter and exit. A serious Chipper also has a Sleeve, a device that wraps an arm, which can be loaded with caps containing single-use Matrix programs. Using these highly illegal tools, a Chipper can explore the ‘Net in ways no one else can. Hack away, my friend, hack away.
