Mitra saw many things that she understood and many more that she couldn’t begin to comprehend anything past the surface details of. There were stories based on history she didn’t know, jokes from things far away from the colony she was in, and lingo and slang so old, they predate the modern era and came from what the history books now called the internet era. Some many things with and without context, a tidal wave of both slop and masterpieces, hordes of things that would melt the circuits out of most people's neural implants. It was unbridled chaos and order all blended together in the shambling form of a cohesive thing. Mitra spent what felt like days in this space of information but felt her sense of self slowly slipping. The desire to see the rest of the world with one’s own eyes started to die since everything was here.

  Vegis woke up just before dawn while it was still dark outside. He stretched before getting up and headed to the fridge to grab some water. He grabbed the cup from the sink and filled it with some water from the dispenser that the fridge had. He turned around as he was drinking it, seeing Mitra slumped in her chair near the window. She was glowing a light pink color from her spine, so he checked the connection he had with Mitra and it was clear for the first time. Vegis could tell that she was experiencing time at an accelerated pace and she was being overwhelmed by information. This confuses him since she only just got the equipment to dive into the LSN

  Vegis walked over to her body and placed his hand on her back while activating his implant and trying to connect to Mitra. There was no response when he tried this so he had to force the connection. Using the spiritual chains that connect them, he forces Mitra’s mana to help form a channel between her machine and Vegis’s to try and drag his mind into wherever she currently was. When he finally does this, he ends up in an empty area with distance lights like being in space. In the middle of this place, Vegis could see Mitra chained up and having light injected into her head. Vegis floated over and tried to remove it but couldn’t even make it budge. He punched, pulled, pushed, clawed at, and many other things in a vain attempt to remove the tubes of information.

  Seeing that he did not have the authority or power to remove it by himself, Vegis sends a command to the V1 to be released from their pod and makes them grab his VR helmet. When they got the item ready, Vegis split his attention and took full control of V1 to use the helmet. As soon as all the loading was done, Vegis entered The Way of Magic

  It was sloppy but it was the best he could do in his current situation. The winds and mana were unstable and the descent was incomplete but it was enough for Vegis. “Susan, I need some out of game help.” was what left Vegis as he was out of breath from doing this so fast. She frowned at this and spoke. “

  He logged out and started to try and connect this instance of him with the main body. After some time, a path between them was formed and led V1 to him. When V1 arrived in the information space, it grabbed the piece of Susan and handed it to Vegis. It then logged out and put the helmet up. While he was waiting for her arrival, he noticed one of the lights growing. As it got bigger, he realized it was not growing but coming at him. It took another minute for it to arrive. She was a colossus compared to Mitra and Vegis. Each of her finger nails was the size of Vegis and shone with all the colors of the rainbows. Her body was covered in a modest sundress that radiated light that was brighter than stars and she didn't have any shoes. She stared down at the two of them and started to frown as she looked harder at Mitra.
