Scanline is an independent crew of informants and data scroungers. Their Motto, "Scan for Truth", is generally spoken at the end of any conversation with an operative in the Matrix, and they spread information about the goings on behind all organizations to anyone willing to listen. Distribution of this information may occur in person, but Scanline also sends out transmissions which can be obtained via a Scanline Receiver, which crew members will sometimes hand out.

Notably, Strayshot was highly involved in an investigation of Dr. Rajilich's notes, which culminated in September 2007, after several dedicated operatives broke the numerous encryptions on files and gained access to data nodes which gave the positions of an exile program known as 991.

Theptism, after he was involved with the disappearance of Cypherite liaison Viraconrida, and was keeping her imprisoned on a downed hoverbarge somewhere in the Real, was captured by the Merovingian liaison, MadHattah, and kept locked away in a prison construct.

Additionally, the newest member of Scanline, Trifid, is also the most recently deceased. Trifid was originally a member of E Pluribus Neo, who was not prominent until he defected to the Cypherite cause and became "Maskharah". After having plans to export weapons caches through the Matrix foiled by members of the E Pluribus Neo organization, Trifid was captured and interrogated, only to be rescued later by Scanline, and to become one of their crew. Resuming his original handle of Trifid, he was an active member of the crew until the end of the Truce, when his Emergency Jackout Protocol malfunctioned, and he was gunned-down by EPN liaison Reposco.
