I did that for the California book. I set myself the task of inventing 26
corps based on the A-Z initials of the first word. Good writing excercise.

Si’celair Elenath Simsense, a small simsense studio in
Tir Tairngire that grinds out wildly popular simsense
games and trid-game adventures with under-lying and
subtle Biblical qualities, has sculpted its
headquarters host with a 1st-Century Jerusalem central
metaphor with subtle Celtic and elvish overtones. The
system is full of characters and settings from
Si’celair Elenath sim games craftily converted into
Old Testament and 1st-Century Israelites. Logging on,
one walks through (a place), as (something happens)
all around the player's decker character. When the
player has the character walk up (an entrance), the
(security code. Access Test) opens it and demands the
passcode.

The (place–corridor) is modeled after the site of the
(metaphor). From the (place–corridor), (smaller
corridors) wind off in many different directions.
Searching for a file leads to the extensive (Data
Stores), where (data bombs and scrambler IC) guard
sensitive file pointers, and a (hidden LAN) to
(Executive Data Stores) where (Black IC) await the
decker who carelessly rifles through the executive
datastores down there.

The studio complex's security cameras feed images
through the hundreds of (Slave Nodes), and the slave
subsystem that coordinates the symsinths used in
post-production is processed through a (central Slave
Node).

What do you think? Thanks in advance for your
constructive feedback.

-Scott
