ADA’S BODY LURCHED in her immersion gear. A trail of blood dribbled from her helmet. Her heart monitor on the wall flat lined. The long beep was replaced by alarms. Lights flashed. She convulsed, every muscle spasming.
Techs rushed into the room, running straight for the officer in trouble. They pulled the cables from her helmet to sever all connection to the Holos. Ada’s body collapsed.
One of the bigger techs caught her, a dead weight in his arms.
