Can a game be a dream come true? Jorah has found a world where he can be Megan Proxy, exploring his own gender identity even while exploring a cyberpunk world that is more than it seems. Something in the world isn't working quite right, but is that a product of the game, or of the fact that the game is using his brain as a mainframe for its processing? Will he be able to enjoy living as a woman, or will he be too busy trying to avoid getting killed for the things that he finds while he takes on the role of Megan? Will the secrets that she uncovers be enough to keep her alive, or will he have to process the loss of his female self so soon after finding a way to finally indulge her?

Playing by Proxy

“You can’t tell anyone that it isn’t real,” Megan said. “You have to act like the agency is a real thing. So you, Aijin, can’t be Agent 13. Agent 13 needs to be your contact.”


“But eventually, when I learn that trick, I can actually be her, right?”


Megan nodded. “We’ll give you some random security clearance and all that too. And we can use the Agency to help us finish up a bunch of quests.”


“I do need some help with that,” Aijin said. “I’m supposed to solve a crime, but I have absolutely no idea where to start.”


“Well, what do you know so far?” Megan’s talent as a Detective might come in handy for this.


“That’s just it,” Aijin said. “I don’t even have a crime to solve. That’s part of the quest. I have to FIND a crime, and then I have to solve it.”
