When the chance arises, she's quick to take it. The programming is incomplete, she knows; the simulation isn't ready — but she's not likely to get another shot at it. And so she moves, slipping through security codes to input the command. The machines hum to life with nothing but a flicker of a green light in a dark room, and it takes only seconds to establish connections. The signal is sent out; the weapons respond.

In a single pulse, reality drops away.

There will be darkness at first as the mind realigns itself to the signals being sent it. Slowly, the darkness fades, forms take shape. People take shape. The setting is terribly familiar, plucked from the user's own mind. It might feel like a dream at first, with events playing out as if predestined, the would-be dreamer moving through a familiar and unalterable route in them. But as things begin to feel more and more realistic, as more senses more fully connect to the simulation, awareness will change. This is not a dream. This is more than a memory.

Welcome to the VR.

Only 20 minutes later, in some underground quarters, Doctor Sponde is roused from an undignified sprawl. He's hastily briefed and shuttled toward the command center, looking grim. He knows the problem demands an immediate fix, but… well, this is some complex machinery. It could take some time. It could take days. He gets to work.

"Becauthe I already did thith. Did you jutht completely ignore the fact jutht the other day thome drunk douche wath bragging about a virtual reality chamber? But if I didn't carry thingsth out like they were thuppothed to go, I would have probably jutht "died" a lot thlower and probably more painfully. By the way, your breath thmellsth really bad, conthider taking a fitht full of mintsth."

The brief rant went by in a rush of lisping and disses. Rin scrambled backwards on her ass, wiping at her face, and shrieked back at him, voice eeking up with upset. "Well excuse me for getting upset coming across a guy spewing blood everywhere! For having done that you seemed awfully loopy too!"

She scrambled back until she ran into something, and then sort of heaved herself to her feet. It was hard - she still felt shaky. "I'll just leave."
