"Your free trial has expired. You have 5 (five) hours to purchase a subscription", the screen read. I had to find another connection to the Interface. I was addicted. I wouldn't last a day without it.
I searched the whole city for a dropped Interface Hub, someone that lost it, or dealers selling them for cheap. I didn't find anything.
Four hours remain.
I searched through my stuff for things I could sell. I had to gather 500 scrip to subscribe for a month. I had 10.
Three hours remain.
I sold things I didn't use anymore. I got to 300 scrip. I kept searching for things I wouldn't miss.
Two hours remain.
I sold most of my furniture. I got to 450 scrip. Only 50 left, but where could I get more? I couldn't sell anything else.
One hour remains.
I started begging on the streets, and I did some pickpocketing. The voices in my head telling me that I needed the Interface were gradually rising in volume. I couldn't stand them anymore. I had to get in. I had to submit.
Submit.
"You now have 0 scrip. Welcome to the Interface."
