It started with my dreams about a year after. Things got really intense and seemingly tangible. It would always begin the same. I'd be sitting at a bus stop drinking some yummy roasty coffee on a quaint street I didn't know in some town I'd never visited but that seemed vaguely familiar. The traffic sounds, the twenty somethings on there bikes, the air, were all beyond my subconscious. Every night for months straight I would close my eyes and be in this place. The dreams grew longer and longer. When I woke up I would feel completely trashed.
I realized that something had happened to me. It had to do with Ren and Champ. Then I remembered. When I broke their interface, for less than second, I was part of their link.
Then it started to happen when I was awake. I'd be in the lab, bored. I'd look at the window and boom. I'd be there, the other place. So I figured I should do what any scientifically mined soul would do. I began to explore. It would feel like I was there for months at a time but when I came back only a few hours would have passed.
I don't know what was more surprising to me, finding out that my mind was constructing a new reality or that I could bring in people from the outside.
