What might they want... Hmmmmm...

"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
- Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012
- A new addiction, replacing thionite with Better Than Life.
- Mind control by way of simulations. (Train people to do what the plotters want them to do by way of Pavlovian conditioning in Metaspace. It's like the catgirl machine, but without the ears, tail, and fur.)
- The weeding out from the genetic pool of the people who would rather dream than live in the real world - they're "in the matrix" for so long, they don't reproduce. (The reason doesn't have to make sense to sane people; that's why Mads Scientists are called "mad," after all. Even if this works, this is a dangerous ideology for the future of Fenspace where handwavium responds well to dreams.)
- A plot by some crackpot group on Central Station to reduce the ability of Genaros Station to resist takeover of L5 by Central. (Again, "mad" science.)
- Other
