There is and there isn't...
To cut a long story short, the Metaverse began as a project among the Genaros Weather Team. Jet Jaguar worked with them for a couple of months before videos of Jet's launch to space attracted attention..... long enough to initially buy in to the project and contribute, but also to sell out when the Panzer Kunst training began. Jet still kept in contact, and acted as a project 'friend' beta-testing features.
In late 2014, they received capital investment from someone who seemed apparently genuine, and set about constructing the infrastructure on Genaros to support the Metaverse. Even a distributed system needed a big-arse data centre to make it work for the first few subscribers.
In 2015 at Bubblecon, the Genaros Metaverse was released to the public.
In early 2016, Sn0wcat, one of the company founds is found to have jumped to his death
Another of the founders invites Jet Jaguar to a puppet party, as he believes it's the only way he can get in contact with someone without the bad guys realising it.
To cut the planned story short, the bad guy's gave them money, then leaned on them to manipulate the code so it could run BTL simulations, killed one of them when he threatened to go public by running him through a simulation over and over again until he lost touch with reality and thought he'd awoken in another simulation .... They planned to use the BTL effect to steal access keys to the Genaros control software and hijack the station through it, holding the station to ransom for big money or until [Boskone Prisoners] are released, threatening to destroy it by allowing the massive header tanks feeding the rain jets and sewage system to drain down completely into the city, decelerating the station's rotation and shattering it like an egg.
That's basically the story planned around the Genaros Metaverse. Creation-wise, anything goes..... they may have copied or been inspired by some things.
