Quintessence
The Rectitude of Cyber Space

Employees of NASA and RDC (Research and Development Company) are committing industrial espionage, delivering secret manufacturing details to Yuri Gasman in Russia.  Vera Anderson, a computer guru, working for RDC, wrote a program to establish a new level on the World Wide Net and something went terribly wrong.  When she tapped the enter key on her laptop, she ended up in CyberSpace.  Only Frank Sabatino, her college partner was able to help her.   While Vera was in cyberspace, she noted that she could intercept C-mail messages with the help of her electronic Cyber Replica.  This is how she found out about the espionage activies at NASA and RDC.                               
Their methods are so advanced that only cybernauts in cyberspace are able to trace the messages to solve the crimes.

Vera Anderson barely remembered tapping the enter key.  Then she saw her laptop disappearing in front of her.  She held on to the picnic table, hoping to stay there.  She recollected the changes she and Frank made to the program.  They agreed that it was correct.  She is glad that she teamed up with Frank.  Vera closed her eyes.  She floated and she moved fast horizontally through a funnel.  She twisted around her own axis and she felt dizzy.  First, she felt a chill across her body then she felt hot as if some force propelled her through a hot oven.  What will be on the other end?  She appeared weightless, her mouth was dry, but she wasn’t scared though her body shivered.  She floated and she had no control over her movements, anticipating of what was coming.  Will there be a soft mattress at the end of the funnel?  On the other hand, will she drop on a concrete slab, breaking all her bones, terminating her free fall, once she exits the funnel?  Or, will there be a billion of electronic particles gently engulfing her, preventing her from hurting herself?     Or will she die?       ....
