CHAPTER NINE

“Otto!?” I shouted in disbelief.

“Yes, Captain, it's me,” Otto said. “I am so glad to have located you.”

For a few stunned moments, I was at a complete loss for words. I wasn't alone anymore. Maybe now I could finally get some answers.

“Are you still hearing me, Captain?” Otto said when I didn't respond immediately. I was getting a little choked up.

“Yes! Yes, loud and clear,” I said, trembling a little. “Give me a sitrep. What happened?”

“The planet somehow warped us directly to a low orbit around its equator. An incredible display of power. But, whether intentional or not, the Corena's hull began to immediately fracture under the sudden strain. I was in the process of initiating emergency protocols when the ship completely vanished.”

My eyes grew wide as he spoke. “Wait? Vanished. The Corena is gone?”

“Correct.”

“Then where are you?”

“Currently, I am orbiting the planet in satellite number six. A subroutine of the emergency protocols called for me to copy myself over to any other corporate entities in the immediate area, to maintain my files. Unfortunately, the satellite's hardware is tiny compared to the Corena's, and barely one percent of my program was ported.”

I felt a chill shiver up my spine. “Okay, if the ship is gone, and your on one of the satellites, where the hell am I?”

“That is a tricky question, Captain.”

“Humor me.” The chill moved into my chest.

“Currently, you are standing within a chasm roughly two hundred kilometers north of the equator. The chasm happens to be the only feature on the entire planet. The rest is as barren, or blank, as before.”

My breathing stopped. “Wait. I'm physically in this chasm. You can see me?”

“Correct, Captain.”

“How can you see me on the planet's surface if I'm in a sim? Because that's what I've been experiencing for the last few hours; playing some star-blighted game!”

“Yes, I can see you, although it is only your biosignature. The strange cloud cover greatly distorts the satellite's sensors. But I'm at a loss as to what you are referring to as a sim.”

I quickly gave him a bullet point version of what happened up until he contacted me.

“I see,” Otto said, sounding concerned. “So you believe you've been logged into a sim, or game this entire time?”

“Yeah!” I said, alarmed and confused. “Are you trying to tell me all of this has been real?”

“That's the tricky part, Captain. Yes, you are in a chasm, and yes you are standing within it. But none of it is real. And neither are you. The signature is nearly perfect, but not quite. You are somehow controlling a copy of your body.”

I found my head starting to hurt, and I slumped down on a large boulder. What the hell was he telling me?

When I didn't say anything, he said, “From what you just explained, I believe you really are in a sim, but unlike any seen before. It appears to be using a technology vastly superior to what is currently available. It is rendering the game world on the planet's surface.
