Cronos Cube

deeper into the city.

They went into a street that was just as crowded and as noisy as Grafton Street. Hackneys ruthlessly flew past them, forcing them to jump out of the way. Emil strode so calmly through the crowds that it gave away his relationship with Cronos. It bothered Zack that Lachlan had fallen into the hands of someonewho seemed to be a regular, because he knew enough (possible even everything) about the downsides of the game. The reason that Persy hated Cronos so much, even though she had never even held a stimulator cap, was the terrorists. Persy hated terrorists above everything, almost as if she had lost a family member in an attack (whichwasn’t the case, as Zack would know about it), and according to Persy, Cronos just made it even easier for them. Recently, the news had been full of it almost every day that terrorists had managed to organize their crimes in the protected realms of the virtual world. In Cronos they could make their plans without being bugged or having a drone follow them. There was also no big-data to match their movements and social profiles on their behavior to find out whether or not they had suspicious friends or were meeting in places considered to be the seed of terrorist organizations. In other words, terrorists could conspire in Cronos at their own free will, without META getting wind of it.

Up until now Zack really could not imagine just how or where terrorists would be able to meet in Cronos to discuss things?
