Manhattan's skyline gradually shrank in the distance.
The towering skyscrapers became silhouettes on the horizon, their lights gradually dimming and flickering in the afterglow of the sunset.
Seagulls followed the ship as it sailed, and the waves gently lapped against its hull.
The coastline slowly disappeared, and the ocean embraced the ship.
Ding-
The Braindance ended.
This was the second Braindance V had gotten, recorded by sailors setting out to sea one after another. It was another world she had never experienced before, in the truest sense.
Although there were still some problems with New York Harbor, such as the stench from the industrial port and the noise of the heavy machinery running,
the Braindance editor, Lier, had dampened all of that, so it had almost no negative impact on V, who lived in Night City.
On the contrary, sailing away from all that and out to sea gave her a sense of leaving behind the turmoil of society.
[V: The coast? Going out to sea? Those houses look a little strange. Where did you get this stuff?]
[Lier: You should be glad there's anything to watch at all.]
V took off the Braindance headband and savored the feeling of sailing.
Setting out for the unknown was always exciting, especially for a restless young person like her.
What's more, born in the 2050s, they knew the ocean as a battlefield, a vast battlefield littered with the remains of machines and biological organisms.
Beneath the calm waters was excessive radiation, as well as dangerous unmanned ships, ready at any moment to shoot down vessels carrying organic life.
That only made her more curious about the ocean.
[V: Is there more? What happens next? Hurry up and serve it.]
[Lier: Nothing for now.]
