Hey now–at least that was more sensible than Operation Midnight Climax! I mean, really now, hiring hookers to drug johns in brothels as part of a CIA mind-control experiment using LSD? Who thinks up these sorts of things, anyway?
…Oh yeah. The government. I’ll just shut up now before I stick the other foot in my mouth…
Goldbug was the thing that freed Nick… I’m wondering if it was a hacker, or if the “learning program” that was supposed to adapt him somehow evolved, instead of crashing.
Goldbug? Any relation to Project Silver Bug, AKA Operation Lets Build Flying Saucers Just To See If We Can On The Taxpayers’ Dime?
Yeah, that’s a thing that happened.

Goldbug is who/whatever made Nick aware he was in a simulation. And then unceremoniously booted him from it when he was okay with being in one.

@BrokenEye – Hey, for the record, I am totally cool with my tax dollars going to flying saucer-related research.
Seconded. After all, the military’s a pretty stressful occupation. Let ’em have fun once in a while.
… Bees are gold bugs, sort of…
Goldbug is actually Congressman Ron Paul’s codename.
If you’re wondering if the General meant to say ‘demoted’, I’m pretty sure she didn’t.
