Gordani's voice came over the comm net. To Chase the voice had the same odd, distorted sound as had Lachesis' days ago. That wasn't surprising, for in some ways the differences between a rigger and a decker were minor. Both experienced an artificial reality. For a decker like Lachesis it was the Matrix, designed to bring a degree of reality to the artificial world of computer networks and data. Gordani's was made from the hyper-realistic data flow of the T-bird's internal and external sensors. Both rigger and decker were at their best when reality was filtered for them.
