Status report from the field teams? Same for the rescue teams. We have people out in both locations and from where I'm sitting you guys are moving pretty fast.

The layer itself isn't at a risk of collapsing just yet, but I don't really want to take a bunch of chances.

Also my office has since been taken over by Whistler's Mother and I can't get her to leave, so it looks like I'm temporarily moving. Again. Anybody else having this problem?

Report to me with anything you need. The map on my system's filling out as much as it can, but I feel like I'm missing pieces.

Keep each other posted. Oh, and heads up? Looks like tech had one more batch of testers they were going to bring in, so...if you see anybody new? Try and get them up to speed.

And that is why it is nice to have others to talk to about this crazy stuff. Fairies? What did you look like? I have memories with pixies...

But see, if they other person remembers the same thing you do, won't you appreciate that sense of companionship?

Like a JRPG character

It would be nice if we remembered the same stuff! But I'm pretty sure it was just a video game, so who knows if she's the same person and we knew each other besides dueling once

Your other world is a video game? That's interesting. So you had stats and stuff?

I don't think it was the whole world

But yeah, the other me played a bunch of different games I think. Some of them had stat windows

Oh, were the video games like a virtual reality? Do you know how it worked?

Like technology-wise? No idea! I do know it felt real when I was in the game, though. That's why it took me so long to realize it was VR

Like I could actually feel the sensations. Sometimes you can trick yourself into feeling movement from VR games, but this really could affect all your senses

You can feel in it? Could you be in a holodeck?

[Of course he's gonna make a Star Trek reference...]

A what?

[This girl was born in 2000.]

A Holodeck. It's from Star Trek. It is presented as a staging environment in which participants may engage with different virtual reality environments.

[Derek is just WAITING for this to be real.]

Does it change your appearance and make up for extra limbs and stuff, too?

It provides costumes. But you yourself don't physically change, nor does it add extra limbs.

Thennnn probably not!

Darn, that would have been cool! I wonder what kind of technology that is then!

No idea! It made me really feel like I was there, though. It wasn't just sight, I could smell and feel things, too!

That is some amazing technology. Wish I could play that game.

It'll be interesting to see what else I did in them
