... wait, what?

That's. Fuck. That's not supposed to be happening. I mean, okay, I was kind of wondering why the fuck you were back on one of the Shores of Awakening, but I dunno, maybe you'd been on a boat?

[She draws a hand down her face.]

Okay. You can't log out because something's fucked up with the neurohelm and instead of leaving part of your mind where it should be, in your body, so you can tell when you need to use the bathroom or hear the fire alarm or whatever, all of it is in Mundus. That's why everything seems so immediate and real and shit.

You've got a roommate, right? Can you PM me their phone number? They need to know to get you to a hospital and on life-support, until we can fix this-- [She turns her head, suddenly, and mutes the audio for a minute, before turning back to the screen and unmuting.] Okay. Shit. This seems to be happening all over the Chimaera server, not just you. We've already been notified about another good hundred equipment failures, just like this one.

Nate thinks it's a cyberattack. I'm starting to think he's right. This kind of thing will happen every now and then--that's why there's warning stickers on the neurohelms telling people not to remove them if the users go catatonic and to call the toll-free number to report it immediately--but this is fucking ridiculous. Hundreds of neurohelms shouldn't be crapping out all at once!
