Backstory:
10 years have passed since the world changed. Whether it was for the better or not is a discussion of debate, but ten years ago science made the world as we know it a very different one than we knew.
We were always fascinated with the virtual world, it could be whatever we wanted it to be, as big as we wanted it to be, yet we could never go there ourselves. Ten years ago, this changed… Sort of. Scientists had been striving to store physical objects in the virtual world, scanning and dematerializing them and storing their information in virtual space.
The first prototype dematerializer was the center of global intrigue. Would it work? Could we retrieve the object afterwards? The questions were endless. But all questioning ended when the prototype succeeded in it’s maiden operation, storing a written letter. The storage was successful, now came the retrieval. No one knows what caused it, whether it was a fluke or a conspiracy, but at the moment the machine was ordered to retrieve the letter a stampede of creatures appeared instead.
