Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 76 Summary: “Emulation App”

Lowbeer gives Netherton a headband for transferring to a peripheral. At first, Netherton thinks he will be visiting the Garbage Patch again; however, Lowbeer tells him that this time, he will be visiting Flynne in her time–the past for him.

Chapter 77 Summary: “Wheelie Boy”

Flynne describes her abduction to Janice. Macon makes her a new phone because she was unable to retrieve hers from the Faraday bag after she was rescued. When she finally returns to her room, she discovers a box with a Wheelie Boy inside. A Wheelie Boy is described as something like a Segway with a boom attached so a camera can be mounted to it. Flynne removes it from the box and sets it up. As soon as she does, she hears Netherton call her name.

Chapter 78 Summary: “Frontierland”

Flynne speaks with Netherton, who is in the Wheelie Boy. Netherton reveals that the entire Coldiron enterprise is not real; instead, it is just a hobby for Lev. Flynne takes the Wheelie Boy outside. Netherton unintentionally mentions the jackpot, which prompts Flynne to ask him about it.
