"Master Sergeant"

It's been a few months since the Beta, I wounder what's changed.

"Master Sergeant Michalek"

its something of a miracle of technology, Full Dive Virtual Reality, who would of gu-

"MASTER SERGEANT SEAN MICHALEK"

A scream invaded my thoughts, I stared straight at my commanding Officer Captain Tobiichi.

"Yes, Ma'am?"

"Have you been listening to me Master Sergeant?"

"Yes Ma'am"

"Okay then Msgt, what was I talking about then?"

"The use of Nervegear in Military Training, Ma'am"

"You just read what was off the slide didn't you?"

"I can not confirm nor deny that statement"

The Captain rubbed her temples.

"Anyway, Master Sergeant tells us what the Nervegear is"

I cracked my knuckles and stood up.

"The Nervegear Full Dive Virtual Reality Headset is exactly what it says. The Full Dive function connects to the brain of the wearer when the words 'Link Start' are said, and render the physical body useless, unlike VR Headsets that have come before it like the Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, Steam VR, Google VR, and the HTC Vive" The members started to type on there Ministry Of Defence Issued Laptops "The Nervegear FDVR Headset uses a modified version of the Playstation 5 Operating System V10.0.16299.5101 and a custom CPU called Intel Core VR-9087 that can overclock to 200 FPS and can lock at 150 FPS" I take a breather "The NGFDVR also has over 15 fans inside that can overclock at 300 spins per second and can lock at 250 spins per second keeping the headset and the CPU as cool as the arctic"

"Master Sergeant?"

"Yes Corporal?"

"Does the company creating the NGFDVR Headset have the rights to Modify and use the Playstation 5 OS?"

"According to the Japan Patent Office, Sony extended rights to Argus to use it"

"Thank you Sergeant"

"Any other questions?"

I look around the room and see no hands raised.

"Thanks you Master Sergeant"

"No Problem Captain"

I plugged a USB Cable into my modified Nervegear Headset and loaded up its harddrive. I loaded up a alpha version of a VR Training Program the Military Intelligence Command are making.

"Link Start!"

A flash of white and then blue cylinders invaded my vision, all of a sudden cricles with the 5 senses popped up, then a blue log in screen.

"Log in required" a voice said in my ears.

" spac spac tab xweionmlohj"

"Log in successful"

Once again my vision was invaded, this time with green, I turned around and saw a armory of weapons in front of me, but that wasent what I was here for.

"Activate Nervegear admin"

A log in prompt came up, a program I installed allowing me to access my Nervegears HDD and any program loaded onto it.

"Run " I called, a black screen popped up in the left side of my screen, prompting me to log in.

How many times do I have to log into today? I thought with a chuckle.

" spac spac One two" I took a breath "ta D"

I successfully logged in.

"Command help"

A list of commands popped up on the black window.

"Command Network connect"

A list of wireless and wired connections within the area of my room popped up.

"Sean Michalek Room Network"

I connected to my wired connection and I was able to access my computer and anything on the cloud. I smirked so simple I thought Its typically hacking, but its hidden so no one knows

"That's what you think Master Sergeant"

I turned around to find my commanding officer holding a M14 Assault Rifle.

"Sorry, Captain, I thought I was alone" I said in the best Japanese I can

"Sean, Converse in English, I need the practice" she smiled and I sighed.

"Yes Ma'am"

"Good, now show me what you have"

I looked at her, she's a great captain but a little bit two nosey.

"Command Show window" two black screens popped up, one in the left corner of my face with words and another with lines & lines of commands in the upper right corner.

"What's this?"

"The Portable Command Terminal or PCT for short, I created it in March so that I could use it in the Nervegear, think of it as a Admin Terminal, but just Portable" I explained

"That's pretty neat"

"Yeah it is"

"Well, if your going to use it, make sure its not against the law"

"Yes, yes, of course captain"

I pulled down the menu and logged out.

I saw a screen with the time in the upper left corner, it read 8:50 pm.

"I think its time to sleep"

and with that I did.

I stared at my Nervegear headset, I'm nervous, tomorrow morning I will be able to once again hop into the world of Sword Art Online, I squealed. Its been so long since the Beta, I even brought the most expensive Pre-Order there was available. I laid down in my bed, phone in hand and just started to watch Youtube till I fell to sleep.
