DEPARTING DYSTOPIA 2-DEEPEST_DESIRES>
THE BACKSTORY:
Anarchy ensued in Amazia following The Unification. TSIMECA Troops have managed to commandeer and restore enough of the Amazian DADSS (Delivery Attack Drone Surveillance System) to keep our Basecamp in the Dystopian Woods safe from the thousands of disorganized gangs and cults seeking to appropriate our achievements.
Meanwhile, we’ve been actively recruiting, training, and providing sanctuary for a new wave of rebels, misfits, outcast, and self-proclaimed geeks to help us create an even more utopian Second Reality.
In Second Reality 2.0, we would create a magical fantasy world where all our deepest desires would become our new realities. Free from the puritanical censorship of the Amazian Algorithm, we could live out the dark, sensual fairytale romances of our most forbidden dreams.

BASECAMP:
Our new recruits begin to arrive at Basecamp for basic training. Our veterans return from various reconnoissance missions. All are eagerly anticipating our collective upload to Second Reality 2.0.
They are greeted by a few of our now celebrity-status troop leaders. The mood here is notably different from last time. Sure there is a certain sense of familiarity, but it all just feels so much more hopeful.
Although we’re still all very broken, we’re exposing our darkness. As the shattered remains of Amazia burned, us rebels, misfits, and outcasts found comfort. No more masking our humanity. No more oppressive norms designed to make us hide our truths.
It was our time. Time to upload to Second Reality again. Only this time, it wasn’t an escape. This time it was our playground. A place where our deepest, darkest, most forbidden desires would be brought to life.
Even though no one knew what to expect, we now understood that it would be a reflection of our collective subconscious. A veritable orgy of pure imagination.

UPLOAD CHAMBER:
As we entered the Upload Chamber, we were greeted by its signature green glow. However, everything appeared way more advanced now. More intricacy. More movement. More dimensionality. More clarity. More light.
The music was different as well. Reassuring in its message and ambient qualities. It told us the journey would be smooth sailing. These assurances were quite literally spelled out on screens.
No doubt, the AI assisting in the real-time creation of this new Second Reality had begun to develop a primitive sense of humor. Most of its jokes were overtly cringeworthy to the group. However, as our subconsciousnesses began to meld, I could feel that we all secretly loved it.

TWISTED FAIRYTALES:
We’re called into Second Reality by a vaguely familiar voice. Could this be the new Kat? Rumors had been circulating. The most common rumor being that she’d been missing in action after our last upload due to TSIMECA mandated anger management classes.
Peering into the darkness, the woman behind the voice starts to materialize. Were met with some dark fairytale version of the vicious heartthrob. Dare we say, she’s serving up Cinderella vibes?
Regardless, this thin veil of sweetness is torn to shreds as her new “Prince Charming” Anaconda joins her side. Collective feelings of empathy for him floods the room as the masculine identitying veteran consciousnesses recall what she did to Pyth last time.
Kat, feels these emotions and is immediately triggered. Anaconda responds in a rather unexpected way. Rather than trying to talk her down, he wraps his huge muscular arms around her neck. She’s pissed. But as her futile struggle to break free continues, her rage gradually transforms into lust.
This scene sets the tone for Second Reality 2.0. The group’s subconscious forbidden desires continue to create dark, twisted, taboo versions of the classic fairytales of our childhoods. Some of these fairytales followed the originals more closely than others. A few even ended in what could be considered “Happy Endings”.
Rush after rush of intense endorphins flood the room. For some souls in the collective, these feelings cause their Second Reality selves to scream in pure ecstasy. For others, what occurs could be described as an overdose of pleasure, resulting in feinting spells.
One by one, individuals drop out of the collective experience. Exhausted from the elation of the experience, their consciousnesses return to their physical bodies as they prepare for the deepest, dreamiest slumber of their mortal lives.
