Beyond Reality- Prologue: Re-Edited

Woosh... The whirl of wind gently passes through the lush green fields of Hyrule.

Nudge. Nudge. "Stop that Epona." A sweat female voice whispers through Epona's neck, cradled in her hands. "That tickles."

The sounds of a keyboard echo through a room. Images fly off a computer and a radar shows a single dot.

"Come on Epona, let's go for a walk." She says in a dreamy voice.

Boom! "How's she holding up?" A scientist asks charging into the room, his lab coat flapping about like a cloud. A clip board in his hand hangs lazily showing a long, boring day of work.

"Completely stable. She's doing better than most of the other subjects. A yawn breaks out of his lips. Rubbing his blood shot eyes, he continues, "By this point all the others de-synced completely from the system." He finishes, pulling his legs off the chair next to him.

Wakling over to put his hand on the back of the others chair, he says, "Well she's very different. It makes her perfect testing this program. Less risks and no possible lawsuits." Looking Over at the radar and map system he asks, "By the way, where is she?"

Stretching out, the other answers lazily, "She's supposedly in early Hyrule now. System sounds like fun an all, but I only wish we could watch the actual things going on in game." Throwing his hands into the air, he continues accusingly, "This damn map is boring!" Can't see a thing other than the occasional cluster f*** of dots, it's incredibly boring." He finishes with a sigh.

Scribbling a couple things down on his clipboard, the scientist says, "Well, it is still early into development." Glancing around he ads, "I'm sure the higher ups will fix it up for us soon."

Spinning idly in his chair, the man says, "I'm convinced that there's nothing more boring than watching someone else play a game." The scientist turns to give him a weird look. "What?" he asks.

"And staring at a map that has a dot is any better? Anyway, there's nothing that we can do about that right now." he says, going back to jotting things down on his clipboard.

Rolling his eyes, the other says sarcastically, "Right. Nothing that 'we' can do about it..."

Glaring at him from behind the clipboard, "Just get her out in 30 minutes. Captain's shift is about over." he says agitated.

With a sarcastic salute, the scientist lazily says, "Gotcha." and the other leaves. Getting up to look out the door and make sure no one else is coming, he says, "Now I can get back to that nap." Clapping his hands together greedily. As he walks over to his chair, looking forward to catching some z's, the computer screen starts to blink. Glaring at the screen for prolonging his nap, the scientist evaluates the problem. The marker that shows the location of the unknown girl vanishes abruptly off the map. "Huh?!" he gasps in shock. "I hope this is just another but." he adds in nervously. Shortly after the marker disappears and the scientist is trying to figure out the damage, he looks up and to his surprise, her body is shacking in a pod. "Or maybe instead of a bug, I might have just lost my job." he whispers, rushing over to view her vitals. Staring blankly at the machines, that read stable, he snatches up a phone, pushing a few quick buttons and gasps out, "We may have a problem..."
