[Kiera, Jake, Sarah, Evan, Hiro, and Leo are alive. A few more of their members as well, but the rest are all dead.]
Emir heard Lyra's report echo through his mind as he put on the NeuroLink headset, still lying down in bed.
[You think she'll blame me?]
[…No, she's smarter than that.]
He let out a chuckle and said:
"NeuroLink Activate."
His eyes, which had previously seen the world's reflection through the headset, now showed a white space with several menu-like options on the side.
Emir's body was no longer physically active; his neural network was linked with the headset, disabling his body's activities.
His body, an 'Icon' in the digital realm clicked on an image that dropped down a list of others.
The last option was labeled 'Link Invite.'
[Lyra, send the code.]
[Done.]
Emir's brain was flooded with a series of numbers, letters, and symbols that he transferred to the link invite box.
