Mindwarp: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

Judy is a resident of Inworld, an underground paradise for the last remaining survivors of Earth. The people of Inworld live their lives inside virtual realities of their own creation, and only leave to fulfill their bodily functions. Judy lives with her mother, who is completely content to spend her days living inside [[Infini Synth]], but Judy longs for a more visceral existence. After demanding to see the real world, Judy is captured by Inworld's police, knocked out, and taken away.

Stover and Judy are separated and put to work. Meanwhile, they each learn more about the underground mutant society, but they both plot ways to escape back to the surface. They learn that the mutants may not be as brainless as they originally thought, and they are led by a mysterious, eloquent leader. The mutants may be brutal and bloody, but they may be the last vestige of civilization left on the planet outside of Inworld. The leader offers Judy a chance to join his civilization, and gives her the choice to help him rebuild society. From [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|his point of view]], [[Utopia Justifies the Means|his methods]] are the only way to bring humanity back to its former glory. It is up to Judy whether she should join the leader in his machinations, or chance an escape with Stover and hope to return to her home in Inworld.

 

* {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream]]: It turns out Judy never actually left Inworld, and the System Op simply gave her a vision of a potential reality. It was simultaneous a way to teach her a lesson about the dangers of wanting to leave Inworld, and a test of her character, to see if she was worthy of being a replacement System Op.}}
