The following is a bit of alternative fiction based on certain characters from the Xenaverse. It is not meant to infringe on anyone else's rights.

We searched every square inch of the VR lab. Bradford and Jeffery helped search the outside of the lab, while Joni and I went over the interior. It turned out the guys were very serious when they said they wanted to be available 24/7. They had, according to Jeffery (who'd gotten a serious scare from an angry Callisto, I mean, Joni), been living in the suite ever since they discovered I'd be head of the department. It was a bonus when I requisitioned the couch.<p>
I didn't know what to say about their dedication, but Joni did. "Crazy!!" She'd given Jeff a shake,"Didn't I tell you two losers to get you *own* apartment? Geez!" then she'd dumped him back on top of Brad. I stifled a laugh at Joni's comment and thought, 'so what else is new. Everyone is nutzo here.' Joni and I took the interior of the VR lab, while the two geniuses who'd but putting this baby together fiddled with the panels and the software. It was Joni who'd found the detached couplings. Bradford was saying something about wanting to run diagnostics while I held a group of varied colored male and female wires in my hand and tried to figure out what went to what. <p>
To detach my mind from interfering I turned to Joni, giving her a slight smile of satisfaction to diffuse her stern look. I turned my back from Bradford's obvious view and took the time to gesture a little obscenely in her direction with the wires. I twirled them in front of my breasts, imitating a stripper show I'd seen a long time ago. That got a couple of raised eyebrows and a wicked little twinkle, though she didn't quite break into an all out smile. She did lean over me, however. I was putting the final coupling together, which I told Jeffery (he gave me the okay sign). <p>
Her hands were on my shoulder, and that was wonderful enough. But then, she whispered in a voice so sultry it made me instantly wet. Though I'd have sworn I didn't have much juice left, I poured. Then she let go of me, but I forgot to let go of the wires myself. I was still recovering from the lusty suggestion she'd just given me. She ran upstairs to chat with the guys before Bradford started the diagnostics.<p>
Well, chat is actually too kind. I was getting ready to go up there and remind her who was in charge of this little shindig, when the diagnostics started. Everything seemed alright, at first. I turned to watch the lcd light on the panels flicker, then something banged.
The strobing brightness of the lights caused me to throw my arms up. I saw Joni look startled. She looked like she was shouting. The guys were moving frantically about. She reached out, her hand touching the paneled glass. I reached back. Then I felt a sudden disorientation, staggered, and the world changed.
