I/O Volume 2: Out Of Bounds Interactions

It is the Virtual 2040's, and Deedee Yeowoo is still trapped in the milleu of Another World Online, Mundus. Having escaped the tutorial island, the Shores of Awakening, with her guildmates in free company Dungeon-Crawling And Chill, they found that there's a growing refugee camp of player characters outside of the port hub city of Viacruz, in numbers that would dwarf a Roman Legion.

With only the goodwill they earned from fighting for the Mundanes against a group of Player Character slavers, they need to survive in what's becoming a rapidly more expensive city as sellswords, without upsetting the people or the politics of the city too much - or earning the displeasure of her mayor, the Contessa Desolar.

Meanwhile, things about the situation aren't adding up, and the locals are rather more able to pass a Turing test than they were before the disaster that stranded a server full of minds on Mundus. And the answers to the questions Deedee's party are seeking about how the Translation happened might be found in the same place that the Contessa desperately needs a small group of Adventurers to investigate...
