Or a UV Host. Imagine a system on the matrix which reaches UV status.
Uknown to it's owner(s) many programs become almost aware to the point
that they recognize what awareness is. They start to capture deckers
and place them in their "Dark City" in an attempt to become aware
themselves.

When the players show up for the evening tell them that your going to
do something a little different for the next adventure and start
handing out pregenerated characters. Little do they know that they are
playing their own characters after they been captured on the matrix and
had their personas altered. The reason everyone decked in the first
place could be as simple as someone hiring them to find his daughter (a
decker) and offering the non decker players the chance to "observe".

Or something like that :)
