Summary
“Johnny.”
He jumps, turns to find Alt, red and zeroes and ones looking down at him. “Where’s V?”
Alt’s code spins, undulates. “You ask a question you already know the answer to. If she is absent here, then she is nowhere. Eradicated by the biochip.”
“No.” Johnny starts moving again, searching for V. “No, no. She’s gotta be in here somewhere. It can’t be that simple, that she’s just—”
“I am afraid you do not understand.” He freezes, feels his hands clench but there’s no pain. “The imminent destruction of V’s engram was just that— imminent. She lived on borrowed time, and now that time is up. You deny what is so blatantly obvious, Johnny Silverhand.” Alt gestures to the cyberspace, empty aside from the two of them, and Johnny almost crumbles to his knees.
OR
