THE NEWCOMER
Path A2C by Jay
[Path A2C. Beg Flicker to reenter the Construct.]
"What?" Cyberreyn wonders to herself, rubbing her bloodshot blue-gray eyes. "Hmmm, must be seeing things."
She returns her tired attention to the pile of processed protein poop -- that is, soup. Leaving the tin can on the table, she holds her nose in her right hand, and spoons up a glob of soup in her left. Hesitantly, she forces the glob into her mouth. But quickly, she spits it out.
"Ughhh!" she bursts in disgust. "Fuck this! I'm getting some 'real' food!"
As she leaves the mess hall, Cyberreyn vaguely seems to notice another odd shadow appear and disappear along the wall of pipes. But with "real but virtual" food on her mind, she dismisses it like a crumpled piece of newspaper floating in the wind.
"Hmmm," the newcomer wonders silently, "what should I have?" Then answers just as silently, "Mmmm, shrimp primavera overlooking the Atlantic Ocean!"
[No choice here.] Jump to Path A1 for Flicker to load up the Cape Cod Construct.
