It felt like an eternity since he'd entered the simulation, but Chuck felt he' learnt all he could about the physical laws of the new realm. They mostly mirrored the real world, but with a few exceptions he might be able to make use of at some point. Looking down at his hand he quickly concentrated before watching it dissolve into a mass of pixels with a loose framework of green lines beneath. It wasn't much of a disguise, he'd be the first to admit, but it should do for now.

Concentrating he willed his avatar to rise from its chair, much as he would his own body. He'd been practicing piloting the digital form remotely and had grasped enough of the basics to be able to navigate most obstacles without difficulty. He'd reached the point where even the most elaborate of acrobatics came almost effortlessly to him and with a quick flip he launched himself into the middle of the room, standing between the four tables as he considered the backpacks carefully.

This was obviously a test of some sort, or a selection process. It couldn't just be as simple as a bomb in a briefcase though, that would end the game far too quickly. No, it had to be something more elaborate than that. Slowly he paced around the tables, examining the bags one by one for any obvious signs or indications as to what they contained, his eyes darting over them as he tried to decide what should be done next.
