It was Dr. Anya and some security guards, battered but alive. They found me in the cavern, injured but conscious.

The facility was in chaos. Many systems were down, some permanently damaged. The digital disturbance I had caused was far more severe than they had anticipated.

Dr. Anya looked at me with a mixture of fear and something else… respect?

“You… you destroyed it,” she whispered, “You destroyed the primary nexus point. Our systems are severely damaged. The connection… is gone.”

“That ‘gateway’… was dangerous,” I said weakly.

“Dangerous… and also… potentially revolutionary,” Dr. Anya said, her scientific mind still clinging to the potential losses. “But yes… it seems your unpredictable interaction… caused a complete system collapse at the core.”

I was taken back to the facility, no longer as a test subject, but as a liability. They knew I knew too much. But my actions had also crippled their ability to continue their research on the digital dimension.

In the aftermath, they were forced to shut down their operations. The “experimental VR game” concept was permanently abandoned. They couldn’t risk another unpredictable interaction with a human consciousness that could disrupt their entire infrastructure.
