You hand in one of your free passes and climb into the VR device.

The VR world appears before your eyes, with the glowing letters A.R.F. hovering above a grassy field, with one lone tree breaking the expanse of green. An obnoxiously cute little puppy trots over the crest of the hill and barks at you, letting out a little "Arf!" and wagging its tail enthusiastically. A disembodied computerized voice speaks into your ear, "Shall we play a game?" Below the A.R.F. title, the words "yes" and "no" appear. Figuring it would be a waste of time to pick anything else, you say "yes." The game responds by displaying the word "loading." Then there's a pause, a clicking sound, and a burst of visual and audio static. The entire world flickers and goes dark. In the emptiness a grainy orange cursor appears, printing out the words:
