Over time he grows bored while only minutes pass in the real world, days pass in the virtual one and plots to bring down Novicorps finances without being removed and, thus, killed. Apollonia tries to keep Fingal out of trouble, placing her in opposition with Novicorps leaders, especially when she finds herself falling in love with Fingal and develops a conflict of interest. With Apollonias considerable help, Fingal eventually interfaces with the mainframe and defeats his antagonists. He also returns to his body, which has been discovered before undergoing the aforementioned sex change operation.
