Strange goggles
This weird electronic gizmo was like the other ones I'd found in the triad factory, except that the sharp metal probes had been replaced with a much safer-looking pair of goggles, and there was an extra cord coming off, which ended in one of those pointy steel plugs like they use for stereos. (In-game plural: pairs of strange goggles) |

| A tentacle tried to grab the electronic device as I pulled it out of my pocket, but I quickly knocked it away and settled the goggles over my eyes. Taking hold of the plug, I feinted to one side, then the other, then leapt at the access panel and slammed the plug into a randomly-selected socket, praying to every god in the Chinese pantheon that I'd picked the right one.
My vision exploded into rainbow-colored static, and a sharp buzzing filled my ears. What would this be like if I'd had the neural probes, I briefly wondered. What does rainbow static taste like? The static faded away to white, then sky blue. I was flying through the sky, a mile above a beautiful Asian fantasy landscape. Fields of cherry trees were in bloom, gleaming white cranes wheeled below me, shimmering serpentine dragons frolicked in curlicued clouds. On the horizon, a mountain came into view, and grew larger and larger as I zoomed toward it. It was engraved with an elaborate set of swirls and unreadable Chinese characters, and below that, in small letters, "Beta Version 0.3b". Then I slammed into it, and everything went black. |

| I pulled that weird pair of electronic goggles out of my pocket, but couldn't think of a way they'd be helpful at that moment, so I stowed them away again. |
