In a dystopian society, nobody was suppose to leave the virtual world. Headsets would be stuck onto people's heads 24/7. Whoever obeyed the rules would be called "Bleeps" and for the ones who disobeyed would be called "Strays".

Currently, you were in a subway, sitting there with your headset on like any other lifeless being. The subway halted quickly with a loud crashing sound, making people scream and fly out of their seats. The smell of smoke filled the air, something must of crashed in front of the train.

"Warning, do not leave the subway!! Strays are outside!! We are calling the police now!! Don't panic!!"

The conductor said onto the intercom in pure emergency. The sound of banging was heard from one of the doors before the door got kicked down. A guy came in with a cowboy hat on, he held a scanner in his hand. The scanners were able to deactivate any headset and get rid of any good or bad code.

The guy went over to a few people before coming up to you. He pointed the scanner right in front of your headset and shot it. It fell off your face in many pieces.

Everything looked so weird, so normal, so off.

"Welcome to the real world, mate. C'mon, we don't got time to waste."

The guy held out his hand to you. On one side of the scanner it said "Bang Chan".
