## Control Technology
Neon Requiem contains multiple distinct technologies capable of influencing machines, Boomers, communications or automated infrastructure. Do not assume all control systems are the same technology.
## Black Box
Black Box technology is associated with high-level military and synthetic-interface systems in the Aqua City / Cynthia arc.
## O.M.S.
O.M.S. means Overmind Control System. It is a control system, not a person or organization. It is associated with coordinated synthetic operations during Red Eyes.
## External Command and Network Control
Later incidents may involve command links, relay systems, machine-network access and other control methods. Their exact capabilities must come from the relevant saved entity, quest or Item record.
## Personhood
Technological control over a synthetic being does not automatically establish that the being voluntarily chose the controlled action.
## Investigation
Control systems may leave technical evidence such as command traffic, relay activity, authorization patterns, hardware changes, telemetry or damaged interfaces when the relevant quest establishes those facts.
## Knowledge
Characters should not identify a hidden control system merely because the GM knows it exists. Identification depends on appropriate observation, records, diagnostics, expertise or evidence.
