A spherical device the size of an adult's clenched fist materialised from thin air, floating directly before Ivan's face. It was the Clue drive. The enigmatic device projected intricate information in the form of a dazzling hologram.
"How difficult was your journey?" Lady Flux asked, her voice calm and probing.
"Apart from the inherent difficulty in killing zombies, I would say that my journey to deliver this object was smooth and devoid of any significant danger."
"Is that so? You didn't meet any suspicious person?"
Ivan reflected back on the journey. He had seen a great many people on the street on his way to the restaurant, but none of them had triggered his alarm bells. Then there was Shard, the enigmatic NPC he had met in New Yolk City before he was abruptly removed from the Gamers' Realm. None of the individuals mentioned seemed to be worth troubling himself over.
