Rembrandt, Maggie, Mallory and Diana are caught in the middle of a
bizarre and deadly fast food franchise
war. Our heroes barely slide away with their lives only to appear in
a world where its people are
dedicated to pleasure and hi-tech recreation. Quite a change from their
previous venue, this world is
dominated by Mark Einman, an entertainment mogul who through holographic
generated adventures can
make one's every fantasy come true.
Our heroes decide to take advantage of their new surroundings. They
declare themselves "on vacation"
and sign on for Einman's state of the art entertainment experience,
The Arcade. Mallory elects to role
play a civil war soldier while Rembrandt embarks upon a holographic
1970's detective adventure. Maggie
and Diana decide to play it low key and hit the Roman health spa.
Later, after the games, Rembrandt and Mallory share their disappointment
with their adventures feeling
that the scenarios are little more than holographic violence-fests.
The people of this world seem more
interested in satiating a peculiar bloodlust than actual role playing.
Rembrandt and Mallory decide to
leave but are unable to locate Maggie and Diana.
Things really get weird when holograms of Maggie and Diana appear as
characters in the fantasy games.
Someone at The Arcade is using their images for some unknown and no
doubt unsavory purpose. But why?
And where are the real Maggie and Diana?
