We are VR

[Dauntasa]

a gimmick round where everyone begins in VR at the psychotic AI's mercy. good stuff!

What about this except there's no indication that you're in VR except that if you commit suicide you wake up in a pod on a shitty derelict with the actual AI's body and maybe some killbots? Basically the Matrix except that if you go back in to recruit people to help you fight the real AI and his army of killbots you have to actually convince people to kill themselves to join you.
