The Grid.... For most of the world, it exists only as a delightful piece of science fiction. There are those, however, who know the truth. The Grid is very, very real. It started as a very high tech experiment with one of the large corporations. It has grown beyond that. At first, the only way in was a virtual reality rig. Then, something happened. A tremendous leap was made and they were able to put actual people into the system. Users were now able to go into the Grid and effect things directly. They could interact with the environment there in ways undreamt of in our world. There, they also came to see the programs, the utilities, like we would people. It could have been the beginning of something utterly fantastic. Instead, things have gone horribly wrong. A group of hackers bent on taking control of the Grid managed to get "digitized" and have themselves inserted into the Grid. They have been contained, so far. Now, in an attempt to stop them, a group of elite hackers and programmers are being sent into the grid to stop them before they find a way to take over completely. |

The group had been assembled in a very high tech briefing room after being escorted through an equally high tech facility. A man in a military uniform moved to the screen that dominated one end of the room. "Ladies, you're probably wondering why you're here," he told them. "It's simple. We need your skills to regain control inside the system here. To that end, we are sending you inside, onto the Grid." |

"There is an advanced team waiting for you." A picture in picture square said as a purple haired woman came into focus. |

"She is one of two cleared contacts," the military man added. "Ghost, show them Solaria 7." |

"These are the only two allies we can confirm at the moment," the man continued. "We also cannot, at this time, confirm the number of Hackers actually inside the system. We believe it to be four to six." |

Alicia looked over the screen with a bit of confusion, before calmly raising her hand. "Mind explaining just what this 'Grid' thing is?" |
|
"Would you like something to drink?" She opened the fridge. "We have water, milk, juice, spiders, Dr. Pepper-" "Spiders?" "Spiders it is then." "No, that wasn't-" But she was already pouring him a brimming glass of spiders. ![]() | |

"The Grid, Blight, is our term for the system we have here. It's beyond anything currently in the outside world, and, as such, very sensitive," the military man explained. "You, Algorithm, and Vidar, are going to be sent in to deal with these Hackers who have managed to get inside." "Sent in?" Vidar piped up. "You mean a VR rig?" |

"No, it's a bit more then that." Ghost stated. "You ever watch Star trek? it's kind of like their transporters, only instead of being reassembled some place else, your converted into a sentient holoprogram. that's not exactly right, but it's close." |

Algorithm's eyes popped wide open. "You mean total digitization?" |

Blight stared for several moments. "Doesn't that sound a bit... um... dangerous?" |
|
"Would you like something to drink?" She opened the fridge. "We have water, milk, juice, spiders, Dr. Pepper-" "Spiders?" "Spiders it is then." "No, that wasn't-" But she was already pouring him a brimming glass of spiders. ![]() | |

"The technology in question has been fully proven, Blight," the military man explained. "However, if you die in there, well, you're really dead." |

"I'll say it again that - sounds risky," Blight commented. |

"Would you rather have the system, and then the whole net, compromised, Blight?" the military man asked sharply. "The only way to fully counter these hackers is from the inside." He rested both hands firmly on the table as he looked at her. "They're already inside." |

Blight rubbed her chin a bit, mulling over the situation. "So, risk death in the world wide web... or lose the web." |

Algorithm looked at Blight, then at the man. "Higher stakes, but doable. Let's go." |

Blight nodded slightly. "May as well," she added. "I didn't look for this group for nothing after all." |

The man nodded. "Luckily, all you need is already on the other side." He looked at the screen. "Ghost, make sure they get a full briefing." Then he gestured for the three women to follow him. "Let's get you onto the grid, ladies." |

"It's not the death of the net you need to worry about. Consider all the linked computers, what they can be bent to do. Set off a nuke, melt down a power plant... basically destroy the world." |

Vidar nodded. "That's why I'm in. Let's go." The trio was guided toward what looked no less than like three laser turrets. |

Algorithm chuckled. "Some questions shouldn't be asked, I think." Once the girls were in position, the lasers were primed and targeted. "Good luck," the military man told them. "And good hunting." |

"Not really, no," she was told as the lasers fired simultaneously. The scene shifted to a new room, but a lot had changed. "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore," Vidar remarked as she looked at her hands |

Blight surveyed her surroundings a tad, biting her lip as she looked over herself. She paused for a moment, staring at her hand. She chuckled a bit. "You'd think a computer would fill in the 'blanks,'" she commented. "But, I've gotten used to it." |
