I'm goin' back in for some VirtuaVerse. When last we'd left off, Nathan had joined a hacker gang that seems to mostly leave graffiti in AVR and talk to each other by encrypted means, and gotten a lead on where his girlfriend Jay has gotten to.

@rk no pixel-hunting yet but the puzzles are reasonably crunchy. Not King's Quest V crunchy, though. I referred to a hint guide once or twice on Pill Street and may do so again.
