Summary
It’s been fifteen years since Gordon put away the game for good. He packed up his life in New Mexico, moved up the country and got a real, fresh start in life, new job, new friends, the works- all was well. He doesn’t think about the people he left inside a video game after promising he’d get them out. It was just too painful, and at one point, it felt like it became too late to go back. He eventually forgot about the box that he stored the VR headset away in all those years ago, collecting dust and waiting for him to return.
Well, maybe he can’t entirely forget it, but he’s done a damn good job of ignoring it.
At least, until Joshua finds it.

Summary
The worst part is, with all of this, Dad bears the widest smile—wider than Josh has seen in a very long time. And out comes, in stilted syllables and a cheerful voice (why does it sound so cheerful?), “Ah, hello, Joshua! Or, I assume that’s your name? My, you look a lot older than in the picture!”
All Josh can think is that, whatever that is, it is not Dad.
Or, Dr. Coomer manages to swap places with the Player, and everyone is left grappling with the consequences.

Summary
He should have known when they got out of the car their first time at the coast and Lambda raced down the sand to the water so fast that Gordon tripped straight out of his sandals trying to keep up with her. When he stood barefoot on the wet sand, watching her shift from a bounding fox into a gull, then a sleek sea lion, then a sturgeon as she leapt from wave to wave – he should have known then that she would never be happy out of the water again.

Summary
It took a ridiculously long time for the rest of the Science Team to realize that Gordon had lost the ability to talk.
In their defense, though, it took him quite a while to notice himself.
