Virtuosity Page #3

Synopsis: The Law Enforcement Technology Advancement Centre (LETAC) has developed SID version 6.7: a Sadistic, Intelligent, and Dangerous virtual reality entity which is synthesized from the personalities of more than 150 serial killers. LETAC would like to train police officers by putting them in VR with SID, but they must prove the concept by using prisoners as test subjects. One such prisoner is ex-cop Parker Barnes. When SID manages to inject his personality into a nano-machine android, it appears that Barnes might be the only one who can stop him.

They're absorbing the glass molecules|and using them to generate the snake.

The nano-cells are silicon-based,|so they need glass to regenerate.

But if you separate the character|module from the polymer neural net...

Don't bite, Liz.

You get...

...nano-death.

Her module, if you please.

Sheila...

Look how they react to the organising|principle of the character module.

Communicating efficiently.

It's a new world, Daryl.

Hi, Daddy!

Parker!

Sheila...?

No, I'm Oedipus.

Hey-ho, daddy-oh.

Gravity.

Daryl?

Daryl?

A good year.

I like it here.

Parker Barnes is the best cop|I've ever worked with.

He's the only one that|even got close to Sid 6.7 in VR.

I can't put a convicted murderer|on the street.

If you wanna catch Sid,|I'm afraid you don't have a choice.

These were taken inside LETAC|a little more than an hour ago.

The victim's name is Clyde Reilly,|one of the company's young turks.

Surveillance cameras caught a picture|of the perp as he left the building.

You recognise him?

Somehow Sid 6.7 got himself out|of the computer and into an android.

A nano-tech synthetic organism,|to be precise.

Mr Barnes...

This is a full pardon.|It authorises your immediate release.

You catch Sid 6.7 for us|and you're a free man.

And if I don't?

You serve out the remainder|of your sentence.

- What if I try to escape?|- You can't.

They'll tag you|with a micro-Iocator implant.

We'll know where you are every second|for the rest of your life.

Y'all got me out of my bed for this?

You want me to be tagged and|to risk my life to clean up your mess.

If Sid doesn't kill me|and I don't catch him,

all I got to look forward to is|my 1 7 back in the penitentiary.

That's the deal...for your freedom.

Ready to begin?

I already have 80 officers|out on the street looking for Sid.

Meanwhile, Mr Daryl Lindenmeyer|has made himself very scarce.

Implant is ready.

Ready for incision.

Establishing entry point.

Secure it.

Ready for verification.

- Initiate signal code.|- Received and locked.

Increase resolution to magnitude|500...1,000...5,000...10,000.

Host's location confirmed to|within 0.25 metres of actual.

- I'd like to go with him.|- What?

- No way.|- Why?

I can help you find Sid 6.7|and I can monitor Barnes.

Too dangerous. This isn't|a scientific study, it's a field run.

And maybe put a positive spin on|what is decidedly a PR nightmare.

Or maybe I should just go public now?

If she gets run over, hit by a car,|get shot, whatever, it ain't my problem.

- I told them.|- It's not my problem.

Here, I pulled this out of mothballs.|Figured it might come in handy.

I pulled out the personnel files|on Daryl Lindenmeyer.
