1. Displaced
The year is 2040 and Eric Ryan hates technology. In an era where automated systems and A.I. robots perform most work obligations, scores of humans have lost their societal value. As these displaced people struggle with their new reality, Eric sympathizes with their hardship.

Once a neuropsychologist, his career ended when medical tech pushed him into obsolescence. Now a community therapist, he spends his days working with the displaced, helping them craft meaning in a world that no longer needs them. Then one day, a robot unexpectedly marches into the counseling center for mental health services.

Eric is forced to work with the embodiment of what he loathes, and while doing so, he uncovers a damning secret. With his life at a low point, he shelves his professional obligations and investigates the revelation. However, he quickly learns that solving the mystery will only be possible with help from an unlikely source.

2. Reprisal
Lea Romero is dead. A week ago, Victor Vane murdered her in L.A. Confidential, and now only her ghost remains. Drifting along without purpose, she constantly recalls the advice people keep imploring—she needs help. While she should heed this counsel, doing so would require facing her demons.

Lea dreads reliving her homicide and hides from anything that might trigger recollections. These efforts are futile as reminders press in from all sides. Eventually, the unyielding pressure forces her to act, but she bypasses professional help and instead learns of her grisly fate—a decision that uncovers a sinister underworld.

Turns out, hundreds of murderers stalk virtual reality. Worse, their victims are like her—haunted ghosts pushed into hiding. Already dead, she ventures deeper into their dark world, and inadvertently starts down a path that could alter virtual reality forever, not to mention destroy what’s left of her.

3. Transcend
It was supposed to be over. After the Nirvana battle, Eric and Lea swore off further action against online murderers to start exploring virtual reality. Upon doing so, the Crypt Keepers shifted from their minds, but one Crypt Keeper wasn’t finished with them.
Chad Vale hadn’t forgotten about either. And though incarcerated, he planned to escape, just not physically. He started assembling immersion sets which would let his consciousness scale the prison walls. And he planned his escape for a reason—to meet Eric Ryan.

Chad sought to visit Eric in L.A. Confidential, where for some unknown reason, Eric had stayed. Eric surely figured that with Chad exiled, the world was free of danger. That only increased Chad’s eagerness to reappear. And with his immersion sets almost operable, it wouldn’t be long before the wolf returned.
