Echo Mirage was a clandestine group of “cyber-commandos” hired and trained by the United States government in the late 2020s, on the budgets of most of the federal intelligence agencies. They used the prototype cyberterminals developed by Sony Cybersystems, Fuchi Industrial Electronics, and RCA-Unisys and were among the first “deckers.”

  • Echo Mirage was a clandestine group of "cyber-commandos" hired and trained by the United States government in the late 2020s, on the budgets of most of the federal intelligence agencies. They used the prototype cyberterminals developed by Sony Cybersystems, Fuchi Industrial Electronics, and RCA-Unisys and were among the first "deckers". Echo Mirage became most famous in combating the Crash Virus of 2029. The first assault against the virus was a failure, as the straight-arrow agents could not handle the psychological demands of cybercombat. An executive order recruited and drafted the most brilliant hackers from the industry and several universities, and thirty-two men and women survived the brutal boot camp training program. In August of 2029, the team, armed with the latest technology, launched a coordinated attack against the Crash Virus, and soon afterwards, four members of the team were dead, flatlined by the lethal biofeedback induced by the viral code. Many more casualties followed, either by going insane or victims to the biofeedback of the virus. Armed with new combat programs, beefed-up state-of-the-art cyberterminals (now the size of a small desktop computer), and a combat AI psych program known as Mirage, Echo Mirage purged the last of the Crash Virus code, cleaning up the last remnants late in 2031. Shortly thereafter, four of the seven surviving members went to the private sector, taking with them the secrets of cyberterminal construction and the first decking utilities.
