Reality is perverted, even in dreams you're not safe. Isn't that something that's the stuff of bad stories told to kids who won't go to sleep at night?

That the boogeyman lurks behind your eyelids and if you're not careful, things crawl up and out from behind your eyelids to show you things that aren't real.

They say dreams are caused by synapses in your brain firing as your body sleeps but your mind remains active. Showing you things that you know but in ways they're not supposed to be.

So what happens if you see things that you don't know? That's the starting point when good men start to lose their minds. Read too much into them and you'll lose grip on reality.

I've always loved the idea of virtual reality. But to unwillingly face one's own nightmares, only to wake up and not remember anything...

Well. To be candid...

I don't like it. You don't either, do you?

[It's hard for him to not be cryptic when hiding behind an anon tag, but. The whole too-real-dreams thing is bothering him, given he's been working on portable virtual reality for a good year or more now, only to be outdone by whatever the hell is happening.]

RUFFRABBIT:

I recall saying somewhere that I was insulted, didn't I.

It was a bastardization of work I've been trying to perfect for years. People shouldn't die in things like dreams.

What I'm saying is this Virus is going to put a damper on my work if I ever release it to the public.

it's been bonkers ever since the code push a few days ago

You could always try Utopia. People there are willing to try anything if you pay them.

RUFFRABBIT:

Finally we're on the same page.

Utopia is a great testing stage. You nearly read my mind.

But I would hardly want the game to be locked in such a singular place.

I'm not interested in boring things.

4TL45:

Well are you in alpha yet? Or still in the planning phase? It would make a good test run.

[ It's not exactly within Company jurisdiction so there's less issue...there... If something goes wrong. ]

[bunnyblock]

RUFFRABBIT:

Alpha enough to start testing, but I myself make a terrible test subject.

[Ominous.]

But after this scare? The last thing I need is to set this thing up in Utopia, only for people to start thinking I had something to do with that shit virus.

That would put a real damper on all my hard work.

4TL45:

Wait didn't you hear? They executed the guy responsible for it along with a ton of Company traitors.

[bunnyblock]

RUFFRABBIT:

Paranoia, 'Atlas'.

A guy pops up with a system that can create a reality that's stunningly realistic, like a certain virus?

How do you think people might react.

[rhygret]

4TL45:

Okay yeah they wouldn't take it well. But keep it all digital and don't mention the virus and it shouldn't be too big of an issue right? It'd only get weird if you started getting into AR tech.

[bunnyblock]

RUFFRABBIT:

In the interest of staying positive: Yes. But having seen how people react when they don't trust something?

Anyway...

Artificial Reality is too dangerous. If the mind believes it's dead, it stays dead.

[rhygret]

4TL45:

Oh yeah, that's true... That'd suck. That sort of thing only works if you know you're in it. And don't think if you die in AR you die in real life.

This is a pretty ambitious project.
