Virtual Revolution Page #6

---

Good. Nash, I have a question.

You, of all people, I would have

thought wouldn't have turned.

I am not saying that you did.

But if you had,

what would have convinced you?

I don't know.

Maybe learning that the

virus which killed Helena

was created by Synternis.

Is that what they told you?

That we killed Helena?

Yes, we created the virus.

But if you had looked at our history,

you would have seen

that the Necromancers

designed their own version

of the virus months before Helena's death.

She was working for us.

She was infiltrating

potential troublemakers online,

when they found out,

and eliminated her.

I don't know who to believe.

I told you the truth, Nash.

What you believe is up to you.

You've made enough money

to have a comfortable life, online and off.

Farewell, Nash.

Farewell, Dina.

Camylle was expecting a revolution.

But as I said at the

beginning of this story,

the revolution already happened.

And we were too damn

busy to notice it.

Dina was right.

I was in a position of

choosing a comfortable life.

Nothing was keeping me

in the old world anymore.

So, I decided to

stop being a Hybrid.

Too painful.

I'm a Connected now,

like most of the population.

The money I earned

allows me to add features

that make me enjoy the

experience even more fully.

And who's to say that what

I'm experiencing isn't real?

Studies from the

beginning of the century

prove that the brain

couldn't make a difference

between real and virtual.

Your brain secretes the same

hormones in the same quantity

if you are seeing

real friends you like,

or if you are watching a TV show

with characters that you enjoy,

in the same quantity.

So, if my brain is telling me

that what I'm living is real,

who the hell are you to

tell me that it's not?
