Who is Spike Webb?

Spike Webb is the human-like personification of an AI program created when an experiment at a high-tech particle physics lab went awry. It's a combination of science fiction and campy detective.

What was the inspiration?

When Isys first opened its doors, we had not so many clients, a fair amount of time and lots of creative energy. Our first project as a team leveraged the talents and passions of the partners, and Spike Webb, Net Detective launched.

What was the experience?

Delivered as an online episodic adventure series, we broke new ground in internet content delivery. 50's style PI stories hits the web. Silly, over melodramatic and completely fun.

But Spike Doesn't Work Alone

But Spike doesn't work alone. Meet his capable team of super sleuths Nancy McGill and Roger Tango to fight the evil and greedy criminals who abuse the Internet for their own gain.


MEET OUR AWESOME TEAM




Nancy McGill

Out-going, works hard and plays hard. Not easily ruffled. Street smart in a computer sort of way. Makes her difficult job look easy. Gets along with her coworkers. Works out at gym, loves movies. High self-confidence, too high sometimes. Dates frequently, disappointed by the average available man. She's happy to be on her own and independent.


Roger Tango

Works nights, sleeps days. Clever, he has a bag full of tricks. Secretive and spooky. No one is sure of his real name. Opinionated. College drop-out. Doesn't trust anybody. Anxious for reasons to help get the bad guys. Defense contractor background, some carry-over paranoia goes with it. Trivia warehouse, especially musical. Hobby guitar player, he likes jam sessions with his amateur musician friends. Roger has a number of loyal friends in his circle and can call on them for favors at any time.


Tom Barnett

He's been around and knows the ropes. A well respected columnist and occasional investigative reporter. An engineer by training. Comes from a wealthy family that's well connected politically and industrially. Steady, wise, and able to see the big picture. Wife and two kids.
