Quote: "Someone let SHODAN out again,
didn't they? Really, what's the point of putting 'warning: dangerously
insane AI' labels on the boxes if no-one reads them? Get out the
magpulses, and let's hope this version is more stable than her
namesake."
ToxicFrog is atypical in that he had contact with
the Board before arriving in the Boardiverse proper; while traversing
the local cyberscape, he ended up connecting to a simulated Warthread
being held on the Funky Horror. How this occured is still unknown, and
while no-one's asked Maritza, her response would likely be the
Enigmatic Smile in any case. Shortly afterwards, a vane failure during
a routine jump for his small fleet of starships that should have left
them as a random scattering of exotic particles instead dropped them
neatly into Board space.
After a brief period of asking everyone questions about everything, he
settled into Board life, diving into anything to do with cyberspace,
programming, or other suitably cyberpunkish pursuits eagerly. Shortly
afterwards he was tapped by FLEET for a ground operation to see his
skills in action. After recovering from the experience, he swiftly
transferred as a fighter operations officer and was promptly grabbed
for a high-ranking post due to his experience.
Despite his present rank, he still prefers to be out in the field, and
can frequently be found either piloting his fighter or up to his eyes
in some of the source code for the myriad programs and AIs that keep the Funky Horror running. He also has
a sideline in complex, experimental equipment...although it's more in
running it (or coding the AIs to run it) rather than building it, a
task he is very happy indeed to leave to the nuts in Weird Science.
