Diver Creed Station by Oliver Phipps
Genre:
Science Fiction & Fantasy /Mystery/Time Travel/ Post Apocalyptic
Wars, disease and a
massive collapse of civilization have ravaged the human race of a hundred years
in the future. Finally in the late twenty- second century, mankind slowly
begins to struggle back from the edge of extinction. When a huge “virtual life”
facility is restored from a hibernation type of storage and slowly brought back
online, a new hope materializes. Fragments of humanity begin to move into the
remnants of Denver and the Virtua-Gauge facilities, which offer seven days of
virtual leisure for seven days work in this new and growing social structure.
Most inhabitants of this new lifestyle begin to hate the real world and work
for the seven day period inside the virtual pods. It’s the variety of luxury
role play inside the virtual zone that supply’s the incentive needed to work
hard for seven days in the real world. In this new social structure a man can
work for seven days in a food dispersal unit and earn seven days as a twenty
first century software billionaire in the virtual zone. As time goes by and
more of the virtual pods are brought back online life appears to be getting
better. Rizette and her husband Oray are young technicians that settle into
their still new marriage as the virtual facilities expand and thrive. Oray has
recently attained the level of a Class A Diver and enjoys his job. The Divers
are skilled technicians that perform critical repairs to the complex system,
from inside the virtual zone. His title of Diver originates from often working
in the secure "lower levels" of the system. These lower level areas
are the dividing space between the real world and the world of the virtual
zone. When the facility was built, the original designers intentionally placed
this buffer zone in the system to avoid threats from non-living virtual personnel.
As Oray becomes more experienced in his elite technical position as a Diver, he
is approached by his virtual assistant and forced to make a difficult decision.
Oray's decision triggers events that soon pull him and his wife Rizette into a
deadly quest for survival. The stage becomes a massive and complex maze of
virtual world sequences as escape or entrapment hang on precious threads of
information. System ghosts from the distant past intermingle with mysterious
factions that have thrown Oray and Rizette into a cyberspace trap with little
hope for survival.
