Two interesting ideas brought up in this thread - ghosts and AI entering the VR. What if ghosts, the AI, and humans could all enter and inhabit VR with different rules and interactions placed on them?
This would make VR much more interesting.
Humans could visit VR as they do now, interact with the AI and ghosts, try to challenge the AI and breach it's upload, have fun, etc.
Ghosts are confined to VR. They can only leave to become a ghost drone or a permanent observer. Ghosts can, however, still interact with the station through mostly garbled text through ouija boards, the Chaplain, or other limited ways. While in VR, ghosts can be cloned or borged. Ghosts enjoy the virtual environment with a few special abilities.
The AI can switch between VR and the station as it does camera networks, though it has a great deal more control while in VR. It moves in VR as the Blob Overmind does. In VR, the AI can summon things, perform special feats, etc.
Interesting to think about.
