New Level

Two beings are having a conversation while strapped into tech chairs. Wires, vids, the works. They are manually controling a remote pair of organics on a distant planet.

The beings jacked into the Earth Program from their unconsciousness chairs (better word) have operated the humans on the planet through the course their evolution.

Thrill seekers, anthropologists, joy riders, social workers (they operate within the system out of a sense of horror and responsibility at what the others do), religious pilgrams, and cult psychopaths. They enter onto a type of Internet.

The two in these chairs are "in seat" on a couple of tech geeks working on a project that will allow them to mentally link and control a pair of coachroaches (lab rats?) through a maze. One being taps his partner on the arm and asks, "what happens when they create worlds of new beings to control?"

A wry smile curled across the eye of his friend who answered triumphantly, "Level Two!"

The first whispered to himself, yeah, but what if it's actually level three? Or four?" and went back into the game.
