The four people go into the pods & their respective timeline
memories (with the exception of the scientist, who is in the pod for the
process of carrying out live debugging and maintenance).
A virus released into Dreamscapes Somnium system by a free
radical terrorist group has started to eat away at the memory cores in the
system & takes them into its own being in such a way that the machine
becomes self-aware in a sense. As such the
virus can change the memories in the system to bleed into each other causing
the memories to either have aspects of more than one memory or jump between
memories.
The inhabitants of the pod don’t realise at first that the
machine is malfunctioning and by the time the scientist realises what’s going
on, the virus has taking a firm hold of the machine and starting to cause major
malfunctions within each of the individual members’ eras.
During the events of the malfunction the individuals are
under the impression that they are on their way to exit the pod and get out of
the machine – however due to the malfunction, the illusion of escape is
diminished.
Together the four characters must work together to overcome
the virus and escape the pods. They do this by completing the story lines that
there memories have created for them. This means that they will have to use all
their skills to overcome the obstacles set before them by the virus. The world
shifts will happen when the virus has been harmed in some way it will shift the
world to try to make the players weaker & therefore easily defeated. The scientist has his own agenda though and
wants to isolate the virus and study it.
Towards the end, there is a “zone shift” into Somnium. The
characters wake up in their respective “virtual” homes, believing that the
previous events were just a figment of their imagination, they start to
realise, through subtle changes in the world, then the presence of beings that
do not belong in the material world, that they are back within Somnium, as they
venture towards the dreamscape building in hopes to solve the problem. As they
get closer to the building the virus becomes more aggressive, they remember
their previous battles and realise that they still have the skills and head out
to take on the virus.
/*The scientist has the ability to fight the virus through
his upgraded debugging pod but has to complete tasks to gain access to this feature;
his particular missions will entail some maintenance aspects within the world.
This will enhance skills such as security and slicing as the character
progresses enabling him to access more complex security terminals and programs.*/
