(Tring…Tring…Tring…Tring…)
The alarm clock rang.
The person sleeping... groaned, rolled over, and slapped the snooze button. Five more minutes wouldn't hurt, right?
But someone had other plans.
Soon, another alarm sounded—this time, not from the clock, but inside his head. A blaring, urgent feeling that something was wrong. His eyes shot open.
This was, of course, Jason angrily waking up. He groggily sat up, rubbing his eyes, and grumbled.
"Can't you let me rest a little longer after yesterday?" he grumbled.
Jason sighed, running a hand through his messy hair.
{Can't} Dawn replied firmly. {We have a lot of planning to do and a lot of powerful enemies. We have to move much faster before they catch up.}
Jason groaned again, but he knew it was right. Yesterday's battles had drained him a little, but there was no time to rest. The enemy wouldn't wait, and neither could they.
"Fine, fine," he muttered, dragging himself out of bed.
He went to the washroom to freshen up.
As he brushed his teeth, he thought of yesterday, waking up in pain ,gearing up, from taking on two scav groups to being chased by a bunch of them, to the fight in the parking lot.
Later he had Dawn hack a random car in the garage, which he used to leave that area and rented this room in this area of Heywood.
'It was a very hectic first day in this new beginning of his second life,'he thought.
After freshening up, he returned to his room.
It looked exactly like the room V had in the game.
He walked up to the small vending machine in the room and took out a hot coffee.Luckily he had looted enough scavs to afford it or he can have Dawn hack it, like he is doing now.
Taking the drink, he sat on the edge of the bed.Reflecting on his past,as he drank the coffee.
It was 8 o'clock in the morning right now.
After he was done with his drink and contemplating his past choices, he asked Dawn, 'So what plans have you made?'
Dawn was waiting for this moment , it had already processed all the information from Jason's memory and made a number of plans,it began to explain them to him one after another.
Jason listened carefully.
{We can work with the biggest fixer in Heywood—Sebastian 'Padre' Ibarra.I chose him because he seems more trustworthy than the others, but remember, he's still a fixer. So watch your back .That's our short-term goal.}
Dawn continued{We have to make a name for ourselves as a solo before we contact him. No one respects a nobody in this city.}
Jason interrupted Dawn and asked, 'Wasn't there another fixer that dealt with cyberpsychosis? And-'
Before he can finish his question Dawn interrupted him and replied
{You are talking about Regina Jones, the ex-media fixer in kabuki.She is currently investigating cyberpsychosis, and giving gigs on capturing cyber psychos alive.}
'Yes, I am specifically talking about a theory in my past life about how cyber psychos are made by AI's failed possessions.'Jason explained .
{But that's just a theory-}
'a game theory.'
{a game theory.}
(sigh)
{exhaling breath slowly}
Jason smiled and said seriously , 'Okay,Let's get back to it ,do you think this has any basis?'
{Cyber psychosis known causes are, by getting too many implants, cyber psychosis quickhack or according to the theory, failed Ai possessions.Even if we considered that cyber psychosis quickhack was made by Ai's to reduce suspicion and all chromed up people who get it are failed possessions. We are not going anywhere near these cases unless you get some mind immunity or I get buffed up or best case, both.} Dawn said firmly and explained further.
{We can't have another run in with those stronger Ai's,right now. I have devoured one of their Ai's and pretended to be him when we were in that facility.They would some time take the weaker Ai's beyond the black wall .I have seen some of the stronger Ai's, they are monsters in the cyberspace, a lot of them don't have much of a personality, just a amalgamation of different Ais they devour, leaking code in the cyberspace, Ai's or a netrunner would be corrupted by just getting in touch with the code they leak.}
Jason realized he was being a little careless even if they got a clue about the Ai conspiracy plot following it only lead to being dead or being captured again.
'So we can't do the revenge plot yet and have to do side missions to level up and gear up.'Jason exhaled.
{Yes, I will make sure we become powerful enough even if they bought out those strong Ai's, we would still win.}Dawn said determined to make this happen.
'Do you have some kind of digital PTSD from seeing them or something?' he asked, curious about his digital self's experience.
{NO,I am not scared nor do I have something similar to PTSD from seeing those disgusting things.}Dawn said calmly in a neutral tone.
"Really ,Okay, I want to see them.Show me your memory.' Jason was still curious about these dangerous Ai's.
{I don't think that's necessary to our current plans-}Dawn didn't think this was important right now.
Jason was not going to give up, he really wanted to see these so-called ultimate Ai's of this world.It is something he had no knowledge of until now.
He taunts Dawn, 'were you really that scared? Come on, show it to me,they can be my enemies in the future,you know.'
Dawn realizing Jason is hellbent on seeing it transferred the memory to his head.
