"Who is it?!" she demanded. The voice was familiar to her yet she could not identify it. "Sylia... Stingray....." the voice echoed. "How... how do you know me?" she uttered, trying to keep her beating heart from bursting with fear. "I know you, because you and I are two of a kind..." the voice taunted her. The phrase registered instantly in Sylia's mind. "Largo," she thought but hesitated as a sickening realization gripped her. "Brian J. Mason," she whispered, "you're still alive!" Fear gave way to anger, stirring up memories of her slain father. "Where are you!" she growled. "I am where you are. I exist where you exist." "On the network," Sylia realized outloud, "I'm still connected to the network." Brian J. Mason uploaded his consciousness to the net and infiltrated her cybernetic data-link firewalls! But how? Nene's virus countermeasures were suppose to be unbreakable. "Computer LOGOFF!" she shouted, but there was no response from the MM interface. "No, Sylia. I won't let you leave quite yet." "Computer, MANUAL OVER-RIDE CODE ALPHA ALPHA GAMMA 3!" she cried out desperately, "Damn, it! Why doesn't it respond!" Suddenly Sylia realized her dilemma: Mason was no longer on the net nor was she. HE WAS IN HER MIND! "What do you want from me?" "Let us play a game." "A game? What kind of game?" "Oh I think you'll like this one. You should find this vaguely familiar." The darkness began to lift. A spot light pierced the blackness and shown straight down upon her. As she looked around she realized that she was in her hardsuit. In the background, the room began to congeal. From dark shadows emerged walls and furniture. "This is my old training room," she whispered, "This is Mega Tokyo of the past... when my father died." "Are you the hunter or are you the prey?" the voice teased. "Come Sylia, let us play." "What are the rules, you bastard?!" she sniped. "I hunt you. You die." "What if I hunt you?" Mason did not respond. "Then you die, don't you?" Sylia grinned, "OK, Mason, let us play." Thanks for playing SYLIA WARRIOR! Konya Wa Hurricane, Baby!
