==Fallout== The impact of the crash was enormous, reaching nearly every part of the globe. While much of the greatest damage was contained (barely), the wired Matrix was left as a smoking ruin in many portions of the world. This paved the way for the Wireless Matrix, developed by [[Erika]] and [[Transys Neuronet]], to take over and become the standard. Several systems that depended on the Matrix for support had failed, causing many deaths as trains derailed, planes crashed, and power plants shutdown. This is in addition to the devastation created by the [[Winternight]] terrorist attacks and bioweapons. While each government and corporation struggled with damage control, several governments and corporations fell, while others absorbed their crippled neighbors: * [[Cross Applied Technologies]] was decimated, with the death of its leader [[Lucien Cross]] and hostile takeovers by [[Ares]] * [[Wuxing]] and [[Yamatetsu]] absorbed many of the failed companies among the [[Pacific Prosperity Group]] in the wake of the crash * [[Horizon]], an up-and-coming media firm, took over [[Hisato Turner Broadcasting|Hisato-Turner]] and Newsnet. * The [[Grid Overwatch Division]] of the [[CCMA|Corporate Court Matrix Authority]], in their efforts to combat the Crash, apparently suffered a number of casualties and injuries. * Reeling under previous economic failure, [[Ute Nation]] eventually was absorbed by the [[Pueblo Corporate Council]] Amazingly enough, some corporations came out of the conflict unscathed, or even strengthened: * [[Novatech]], with the great influx of money, was able to stabilize itself, buy many more subsidiaries, and eventually merge with [[Transys Neuronet]] and [[Erika]] to form [[NeoNET]] * [[Saeder-Krupp]] had a secret Matrix killswitch which allowed its grids to survive almost completely intact. * [[Wuxing]], while faced with a few setbacks during the crash, was able to gobble up several less-fortunate companies and strengthen its position on the Pacific.
