PRiSM

ABOUT

PRiSM has made a name for itself both as one of the top research organisations investigating the dataflow phenomenon and as one of the most powerful factions operating in London. Founded by recent Imperial College London graduates Nisha Sahni, Kate Summers and Weiss Rosenberg to fill the sudden control vacuum after the Third Magical Cataclysm of 2086, PRiSM rapidly became well known both in mage circles and out. With the aim to develop a greater understanding of the DATAFiELD and technomancy itself, they were able to gain a license to practice technomancy - a rare feat after recent government crackdowns. The group operates almost like a corporation (though this may be neccessary to maintain it's front as a software company), treating its members as employees. PRiSM is also noted for it's stylish dress code developed by a prominent London designer and a close friend of Nisha.
