Synopsis for 1st story
Allegra fights Keres in Midian while, elsewhere, Huber and J panic that they have lost control of her. Huber appears before her and tries to convince her she is having a paranoid episode, but she ignores him and kills Keres. Huber and J put her back in the creche to restore her programming, but she immediately breaks free and returns to Midian. Warriors from Fortress Garadis swarm the colony, and she forces one to tell her where the fortress is. She flies there and blasts her way inside to find another featureless null space. From there, she returns to the Earth’s surface and finds Lak. He explains that things are not as they appear and that she knows the way out. Still wearing her armor, she wakes up in a room to see Keres’s lifeless corpse in front of her. Lak, whose real name is Larry, appears and shows her that the plague scenario, Midian and the future world, and everything else she experienced was a virtual reality simulation designed to test her combat armor. She was a U.S. fighter pilot abducted, mindwiped, and brainwashed by Huber into participating in the simulation. Larry and other programmers on the project learned of this and planted clues to help her escape. Now, her escape has triggered the complex’s self-destruct sequence. She finds Huber and tries to force answers out of him, but he tells her to reenter the simulation or they will all die. Allegra refuses and leaves as the complex explodes. Free at last, she reaches a tropical beach where a posted sign reveals she is in Gamorra.
