How It Begins
In a substantial introduction, Delarion explains that he is working at Benji's Video Arcade; that he is addicted to a drug called rephasia; that he and his girlfriend Nevelle used to work as software pirates until they got caught, and she disappeared; and that Delarion was thrown into New Haz and rendered unable to operate or understand any electronic devices. His aim is to make enough money to get out of New Haz.
Delarion is in Benji's Arcade, carrying a quarter, a token dispenser and his pillcase.
