[This isn't the first time Jonesy has found herself waking up in a strange place she didn't remember going to sleep in. It isn't the first time a robot has woken her up, either.
The stone slab is new, though. As is the explanation that she's on an entirely different world than the one she knows.
She doesn't believe it at first, until she steps outside into an entire city of robots
- and their claim is further backed up by the fact that none of her implants can connect to a satellite to get her GPS location. Or the fact that the wireless matrix of this place is set up way differently than the matrix she's accustomed to.
There is a wireless network, though. And the robots even gave her a tablet to use. So, of course, Jonesy does what any hacker would do in her position: She searches the internet for answers.
And when she fails to find a quick and easy explanation of how to get home, she goes on the internet to complain.]
ok so ive been running the numbers in my head and its starting to seem very likely that this is all real, and that i'm not just experiencing biofeedback induced brain damage OR trapped in a hyper realistic VR sim from which i cannot escape.
in which case i must ask:
what the FUCK
you kidnap the best hacker in LA , take me to an alternate fucking planet in a city filled with sapient robots and dragons and gods and no one wants me to DO anything??
no hacking, no repairs, no IT work? i didnt get grabbed because someone was planning a cool space heist that they need my skills for? i'm just supposed to hug people?
i am feeling EXTREMELY undervalued here.
if i got picked because of the arms then i'm not hugging anyone. you robots can go fuck yourselves if thats what this is about.

How were you standing? And interacting with 3 dimensional objects? How did your organs not fail - actually, nevermind I gotta assume it was magic.
[Magic is a pain in the ass and she has never been able to understand it.]
You say this kind of thing happens every month?

That seems to be the case. The way that the offworlders who had arrived prior to me seem to take things in stride suggests that it is something that is inevitable. The chances that these events could be avoided seem to be rather slim.
