Reading Part 4 - The Straylight Run - 15
Case's conscience was back in the matrix. He tapped into his sim-stim. Molly was in a low, vaulted hallway lined with dozens of museum cases, archaic-looking glass-fronted boxes made of brown wood. Molly started talking about a boy she was with called Johnny. They were together, and the Yaks were after them. By ignorance of youth, they thought they could get away with it.

Wintermute brought Case into the core of Straylight. A perfectly square room. In the exact centre of the room, stood a square pedestal of frosted white glass. An ornate bust rested on it. The thing's a ceremonial terminal; Wintermute needed Molly in there with the right word at the right time. Case and Flatline will have to learn the word when they scrambled the cores.

Case rode a train back to the Garvey. He told Maelcum that he was going to jack in for eight hours. After he slotted in the Chinese virus and jacked in. The virus unfolded around him and Dixie, rendering them invisible while penetrating TA-S AI-generated ice. Abruptly, Case got thrown to his memory space again by Wintermute, which assumed the appearance of the Finn.

After Case was caught by the three Turing police, one of them, Michele, threatened him to return with them to Geneva for a trial, for the agents were in a position of legal ambiguity. Case had no choice but to follow. A quarter across an iron bridge that arched over Desiderata. Wintermute attacked the agents and killed them. Case ran like hell, panting.

Case left in the middle of his business. As he was under the nightclub constellations of the hologram sky. A face of Linda Lee stippled against the night sky. That must have been a trick of Wintermute. After Case returned to his apartment. Three Turing police in white sports clothes were waiting for him, telling him he was under arrest.

Actually, Case didn't want to find Riviera; he only wanted a drink and to contemplate Wintermute, Molly, etc. Cathy appeared out of nowhere wearing a black shift. She tempted Case to go to her room behind Paradise. While being high with a derm on his inner wrist, he went to her place and fucked.

Case found out Moly was in a private cubicle within a nightclub, so he went down there to find her. While Case was trying to open cubicle forty-three, Molly thought he was some unknown guy, so she kicked him hard. After Case went inside, Molly talked about her past, mentioning she was a meat-puppet. She said she was going to kill Riviera during the run.

While Case was dealing with the hangover from his drugs on the floating restaurant, Riviera gave an absurd, dream-like performance on the stage. It implied Molly's past and Riviera's imagination, which made it really awkward. Molly vanished without a trace after the show was over. Case returned to the hotel, had Flatline on the phone, and traced her whereabouts.

When Case returned to the hotel, he was dying for a buzz(a high). He ascended to the roof, trying to gain dopamine from sushi so he could forget the urge. A woman named Cath chatted him up, and he received a drug called Betaphenethylamine from her that could get through his doctored system. Molly warned him he would be in sadass shape when it wore off.

After Molly handed the medicine to Riviera. Case was sent back to the tug at the end of the spindle. He received a military-grade virus that could hack into an AI. He asked Flatline more about the motive of the AI. Flatline replied that no one trusted the AIs. They most likely were going to unshackle the chains that were preventing Wintermute from evolving.
