Screenside Strikes Back, Triptych of the Reign of Never Death - 3

Esmeralda and BC set out on another spying mission, this one to investigate the body farming activities of the people who have stolen their way into immortality.

What they discover is way beyond their worst nightmares, and the virtual world of Screenside, consumed with guilt at its role in unleashing a beast on mankind, begins preparing for potential war, knowing itself to be the last line of defense of a human world oblivious to the danger of apocalypse by plan!

Stealing empty bodies from the body farms of the digital people they call nonborns, they are able to go to war in virtual-managed human soldiers that can be ethically permitted to die in battle.

Virtuals have all the advantages when it comes to combat against human forces, not least of all being the extraordinary capabilities acquired by human bodies under virtual management.

Thus, when the Chinese nonborn begins genocide of unarmed civilians, forcing Screenside to commence a ferocious military assault on many fronts, the evil digital people of Never Death are soon cornered.

But cornering the Beast has always been fraught with danger, as it can do anything at all to preserve itself…
