-The **terminals** are 1980s era text-only computers used throughout [[organizations#emtanon|Emtanon]]. Two of them may only be viewed via [[agent_systems#as32|AS32]], while others may be remotely controlled by players via the [[https://emtanon.com/portal/|Emtanon portal]].+**Terminals** are 1980s era text-only computers used throughout [[organizations#Emtanon]]. They appear in two aspects: 
 + 
 +  * Monitoring [[#in-universe terminals]] to gain insight into the organization 
 +  * Interacting with the universe via remotely accessible terminals on the [[https://emtanon.com/portal/|Emtanon portal]]

 +===== In-universe terminals ===== 
 +These terminals are distinguished by unique display colors. All of them are used mainly for [[#iris]].
