Cyber Perks – Located at Fifth Avenue at Fifty-eighth and mentioned in Seduction in Death.[1] Owned by Roarke Industries[2] and where Kevin Morano, using the user name OberonNYC, accessed the account La Belle Dame.[1]
Inside, loud cyber-punk music blasted; it was jammed elbow to groin with a motley throng who sat at counters, tables, cubes or airskated between stations; the table space was color-coded. A glass kiosk marked Data Center contained three drones in red uniforms who sat on swivel chairs in the center of the tower and worked consoles. It was supposed to be a virus-free zone but a virus was uploaded and corrupted the units.[3]
There were three system levels in the club. The highest level cost from one to ten dollars a minute depending on the number of functions utilized.[2] The units in the club were designed to shut down and lock at any attempt at contamination; there was an internal detector and filtering system as backup.[4]
