Playing by Proxy

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 is created by Joe Weinberg, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 23: Selling the Lie

She wasn’t entirely sure how much of that the manager had believed, but Megan was pretty impressed with To-Soren either way. She seemed to really care about her employees, and about getting Megan back. Maybe it wasn’t a good thing; maybe she wanted to be the one to kill Megan. Or maybe she thought that getting Megan back would mean getting the chip back.

She took the chip out of its slot to look at it. As soon as she did, a timer started counting down from five minutes for her to reinstall it, or she’d lose all the benefits.

That might be useful. She imagined a situation where someone took the chip from her, and she had to fight her way out before the time ran out. Might not work for this particular chip, but it was good to know that this was a possibility.
