(j) How was Sebastian Shultz's memory stored on Michael's disk? Did Michael discover that?
(a) The news article mentioned that a
fourteen-year-old boy called Sebastian Shultz, who had gone into a
coma following the accident, had miraculously recovered. Michael was
shocked to read this. When he saw the picture of Sebastian, he
realised that he was the same person whom he had met in the virtual
world and was trying to rescue him. Michael couldn’t understand
that how he could meet Sebastian if he was in coma.
(b) Michael’s chance meeting with
Sebastian had taken place in the virtual world. He had met Sebastian
for the first time in a game called Wildwest.
(c) Michael and his dad had recently bought
a Pentium 150 MHz processor, with 256 of RAM, a 1.2 GB hard disk
drive and 16 speed CD ROM, complete with speakers, printer, modem and
scanner. This computer could do anything: paint, play music, create
displays and even make rubbish homework look fantastic.
(d) The first place Michael was transported
was the time period between the American Civil war and end of the
19th century. (mid 1830’s-1920). Geographically, it was west
America. Michael was playing a game called Wildwest where he
was a Sheriff caught in a gun fight in a saloon.
(e) Sebastian Shultz was in the virtual
world when his accident took place. As a result he got stuck there.
He encountered Michael in this virtual world. He wanted Michael to
rescue him. He sent a message to Michael which appeared on his
printer.
(f) Michael couldn’t rescue Sebastian
the first time because before he could save him, he was shot by
gunmen.
(g) Sebastian chopped the princess’s
long plaits and tied them together to form a rope and managed to flee
from the tower. He and Michael headed towards the dungeons. However,
the dragon followed them. As they were going down the steps, the
dragon appeared and caught Sebastian. Michael tried to kill the
dragon but he had already taken Sebastian. Thus, the second attempt
to save Sebastian failed as well.
(h) Sebastian Shultz was badly injured in a
car accident. He had banged his head. When he was brought to the
hospital, the doctors described his condition critical but stable.
Despite doctors’ efforts Sebastian could not regain
consciousness. He had gone into coma.
(i) At the time of the accident, Sebastian
was using his laptop to play one of the psycho-drive games. He was
plugged on to the computer when his head banged in the accident. The
computer had saved his memory in its own. Thus, Sebastian had entered
the games but could not come out of it.
(j) At the time of the accident, Sebastian
was plugged on to the computer. The computer had saved his memory in
its own. When Sebastian’s family was in the hospital, somebody
stole their whole lot of games. Some of them ended up at Computer
Fair, where they were bought by Michael. Michael discovered this
when he read an article on the internet about Sebastian’s
miraculous discovery.
