Alt Cunningham

 is a Netrunner. She invented the beta version of Soulkiller, a program that would make a digital emulation or copy of a netrunner's mind. Saburo Arasaka kidnapped her, extracted the information from her, and made a more deadly version that would simultaneously fry the netrunner's mind after backing it up, allowing a Sysop to interrogate it at will. They then used it on Alt since she was of no further use to them, but her digital "ghost" broke free into the Net.

Quotes
"I remember she told me she was born in Miami, about 2004 or so...She was pretty sure, because she could still remember what it'd been like when the Euros Rocked Washington and the near miss took out Tampa...

''She had these incredible blue eyes; clear through and through, like crystals of lace, and a smile from a magazine dream. Course the eyes were Tiknics 2350's, and the smile really was from a magazine-nice biosculpt job. It didn't matter how much was real in the end. I still fell hard for her. I'm that type"''
