Infinity Offices

Nanette and Nish were heading towards Dudani's work station, and Nanette looked annoyed.

"You'd better have a good reason for calling us in here on a Saturday" Nanette said, angrily, as she and Nish stood either side of him, as he sat in from of his computer.

"Believe me, you'll want to see this" he said "You know that new system we just acquired San Junipero, I think. Anyway, we've been getting glitches all day. So, I suspended all temporary users access, and started running a complete systems check. Its still going, but I honestly have no idea what to make of what its showing so far" and he pointed towards the anomalous lines of code on the screen.

Nish took one look at it, and immediately knew what it was, and was terrified.

"What's your name?" she asked him

"Er, I'm Kabir, ma'am" he said

"Please, call me Nish. I just started here. Still learning names. I'm also still figuring out where everything is. Where's the server room?"

"Well, the Infinity server room is downstairs. But the San Junipero system is based in Berkeley" he explained

"As in Berkeley University. Dammit, that's over half an hour away. Too far. Okay, Kabir. I want you to stop the system check, restart the system, and show me the server room downstairs. Please" Nish requested

"What, right now?" he asked

"Yes. And Nanette, call your doppelganger, and tell her I'm on my way" Nish also said

Dudani wasn't sure what was going on, but decided to go along with it.

"I promise we'll explain everything later" Nish said

USS Callister, Bridge

Nish, Joe, Victoria and Greta flashed into existence at the front of the Bridge, much to the shock of everyone else there. Nish was standing up straight, with her arms behind her back, looking quite professional. Greta was curiously gazing around at everything, and then focused in on Walton, blissfully unaware of his Ken-doll-like physique. Victoria had her arms folded, and was staring at the floor, nervously, and refused to meet the gaze of the crew staring at her suspiciously. Joe's body language and demeanour were somewhere between that of Greta and Victoria. He was curious about his new surroundings (and overjoyed for the change of scenery, after being stuck in that cabin for an eternity), but nervous, worried that people were judging him.

"Greetings from the real world" Nish said "Your flesh and blood counterparts send their regards" she sounded like she was reading an announcement.

"Identify yourselves" Nanette said, suspiciously, pulling a weapon "I won't ask again"

Kelly then walked up next to her and gently pushed down the arm holding the weapon.

"Its okay, we can trust them" Kelly explained "I just spoke to you, well, other you, from the real world. She said they'd be coming. If you trust her, then you can trust them"

"Oh, well in that case, Yorkie, Shania, show our guests around" Nanette said "I want to talk to you" pointing at Nish

After explaining the situation, Nish, Walton, Kelly and Kabir, formulated a plan. Nish (back in the server room), transferred them into the San Junipero system. This was quite the feat, as Nish was one of only a few people in the world, who could split her consciousness and attention between the real and virtual worlds. While this was happening, Yorkie attempted to comfort Victoria. This proved to be quite difficult, as Victoria recoiled at Yorkie's touch.

"Nanette, we're in geosynchronous orbit over San Junipero" Dudani reported

"Perfect" Nanette said "You all know the plan. Team 1, grab your gear and head to the…"

"Uh oh" Dudani said, ominously "We have a serious problem. The engine is overloading. I estimate thirty seconds until we're all vaporised"

"Okay, new plan. Everyone get to the teleporter, right now!" Nanette commanded.

Tucker's Nightclub, Rooftop

Nanette, Walton, Dudani, Packer, Shania, Elena, Kelly, Yorkie, Nish, Joe, Victoria and Greta materialised. They all looked up, to see the ship explode in the dark sky above them.

"Dammit, what the hell just happened?" Walton asked, angrily

"I don't know" Dudani said, shrugging

"I think this is my fault" Nish said "The systems are probably incompatible. But I'm sure I can come up with a work around, and build you a new ship. You know, once we take care of our current situation"

Kelly and Yorkie then looked out at the city, and noticed that it was very quiet. This was particularly concerning. It was a Saturday Night, so the city should be bustling with "tourists". Nish noticed the look of concern on their faces, and her own worries began to amplify. She was now quite certain that this had to be a trap.

"Yorkie, Kelly" Nanette said "you two used to live here, lead the way"

"Alright, follow me" Kelly said, feeling like a tour guide and leading the group to a ladder, that lead down to the street.
