Brood was the codename of a Panther Moderns member, who was the link man between Molly Millions ("Cat Mother") who infiltrated the Sense/Net Pyramid, and Case ("Cutter") who hacked into the Sense/Net systems from the matrix. Brood was based in New Jersey and he sent scrambled messages through a chicken wire disk and satellite of a religious cult.

He was synched with the clock chip behind Molly's eye and on midnight he gave the command "mainline" enabling 9 of Moderns members to notify the police and securities that the Pyramid was under attack. He was told by Case that Molly broke her left leg, and was told to prepare medical support upon her exit; also he told to Molly that Case can hold as she entered the library of the building.
