Story Post: Shutdown Complete
The blue lines around you, which have been your world since what seems like an eternity, begin to fade to black. The random lines and dots on your wrist-screen fade as well, plunging you into darkness. After a few seconds, the screen shows the following message:
Misty had the highest Number-Crunches of all of the Runners in the Exit and achieves victory.
Misty escapes the Grid.

Sorry for the messed-up part of the ASCII art. Not sure why the formatting was thrown off there at the bottom.
