While they both seem pretty sure of who’s who, I am immediately suspicious of whether the “real” Nick is the one that stayed and the copy is the one that left (after all, they’re so in sync at this point they could easily pull the “I knew my duplicate would think of the same plan so we both played along immediately” bit). I don’t suppose anybody’s noticed any subtle visual cues?
I suspect that either Digital Nick will give his life in Meat Nick’s place, or we’ll have a Rose Tyler situation where Aimee and Digital Nick end up keeping each-other company, leaving Meat Nick with his unresolved romantic frustration.
soooo he’s just going to go off into the vr simulation and do whatever? well hats another unfired chekhov’s gun to add to the mix.

Only unfired for now; in Narbonic, Shaenon set up some of the plot elements six years in advance.
Just carefully placing a checov’s ai bere for future reference…
The Quest to find Cheese-Its….
….that doesn’t sound like a grand adventure so much as a stoned meander through a Circle K on a Friday night…
Po-tay-to, po-tah-to…
Is there are reason why clicking the greyed-out “Next” link sends me to the website for Silicon Valley Comicon?
The site seems to be having problems. Yesterday some of the replies were being misplaced.
Are the problems of Whimsy world spilling over to this one?
Matching the face to the name ‘Kari Byron’ was driving me nuts until I looked her up and realized: Mythbusters, obviously.
Only a few days old, and Nick-point-two is already fitting in better than the original.
Ah hahaha that White Fang line! (I’ve read it)
Well, as starts to epic quests go, this is probably not the worst start.
Not the best, but not the worst. Wonder what Nick 0.2 will be like when he shows up again down the road. (And we all now he will.)
Chekhov’s gun, or Cheese-It’s gun?
Chekhov’s Cheese-Its.
