What is a PET?
PET is an advanced cell phone. You can use it not only to make phone calls and send e-mails, but also as a textbook, a newspaper, a TV and just about anything else you can think of. Every PET has a personality simulation program called NetNavi (gator), which performs all the network activities for its unique owner.

PET Differences

There are three different types of PET's used in the MMBN RPG. However, the first version (the ones that was used in MMBN 1 and 2) have been discontinued. 

Virus Busting!
Though extremely convenient, network society is plagued with a singular problem - computer viruses. To eliminate the virusses, people equip their NetNavi's with combat program data called Battle Chips This electronic protection is called Virus Busting.

The Internet War

Neo Arcadia's story:

When the new year came everyone was thrilled. Although still in 200X, it was peaceful. In January, Neo Arcadia saw some unusual disturbances far deep in the Undernet. They sent the Outrunner-A to investigate. After two weeks and no response, Omega sent out Delta Squad, lead by a new recruit Colonel.EXE, to investigate the disappearance of the Navi's. A few days later, Colonel's dogfighter was found drifting out in the net. Alpha Squad, lead by Harpuia, towed the ship back to Neo Arcadia. There, Colonel was treated for his injuries. When he regained consciousness, he informed Omega of the threat to come. Samuel J. McGillicudy took this information and informed the Officials of the crisis. Neo Arcadia and the Officials teamed up and went to the source. There almost every Navi was deleted except for a select few. Blaming Neo Arcadia on this, the remaining Officials opened fire on the Neo Arcadian Navi's. Jacking out quickly, they returned to Neo Arcadia after jacking in. They knew it was war.

Net Battlers story:

In January 200X, the Officials declared war on Neo Arcadia because of a trap due to a tremendous power emanating deep in the Undernet. The Officials decided it was best to leave it alone, however Neo Arcadia declared forced them to take a look at it. There most Officials were deleted while the Neo Arcadians were unharmed. The Officials concluded it was a trap and then retaliated on the Neo Arcadians.

These are the two side's stories. It's up to you to decide which side you support the most. It's up to you to decide who's side you are on.

Every time another RPG starts, you are in the Real World or the Cyber World. In the Real World you can move your character around or talk to your Net Navi. If the GM wants your Navi to say something, he does. Otherwise, you can change between Net Navi and your character.

In the Cyber World, you control your Net Navi. Usually when you jack in, you have a mission to do, but on some occasions, you can shop, talk to friends, or post on the Board.
