The first cytonics developed due to sapient creatures being exposed over generations to the energies of the [[nowhere]], gradually leaking in through nowhere portals.{{book ref|sky3|11}}. Over many generations, cytonics grew more common, and there was a prolonged period prior to the development of advanced technology during which many races were in contact through the nowhere. This period came to an end when an unknown entity, possibly similar to a delver, was created by a technologically advanced race, and attacked cytonics. Cytonics of all races banded together to fight it, and though they succeeded in destroying it, virtually all cytonics of all races were wiped out in the process, causing cytonics to be lost for many generations.{{book ref|sky3|24}}
 
One of the first races to rediscover cytonics after this disaster seems to have been the [[kitsen]] '''shadow-walkers''', who used teleportation to travel between their [[Kitsen homeworld|homeworld]] and Earth, where they would interact with ancient humans.{{book ref|sky2|17}} However, the shadow-walkers eventually departed both worlds, never to be seen again.{{book ref|sky2|26}} It was eventually discovered that they had accidentally trapped themselves in the [[nowhere]] through an attempt to open a nowhere gate, and with no remaining kitsen cytonics, there was nooneno one who could reopen the portal.{{book ref|sf3|17}} In normal space, all sapient races, as well as a few non-sapient ones, would eventually redevelop cytonics; of them, all of them save humans did so prior to discovering advanced technology.{{book ref|elysium}}{{book ref|sky2|34}}.
 
Much later, during humanity's forays into the solar system, the [[Phone Company]] attempted to develop cybernetic-based telepathic linking, nicknamed '''cyto'''. While those original attempts did not work as intended, they were sufficient to attract the attention of the alien [[tenasi]]. More advanced cytonics were studied and developed by a few in the Phone Company over the years.{{book ref|elysium}}
