Wendy Corsair

Wendy Corsair was a teenage Virtual Reality addict who became one of the first people to have a BioMerge disk installed in her head, on 12 January 2143.

When first interviewed by FTL Newsfeed, on 21 October 2142, she was a shy 16-year-old who woke up each morning, put on a pair of goggles and surfed the Net. Following the 30-minute home procedure, she spent increasing lengths of time online -- with her mother commenting, "Ever since she has it put in, she never comes out of her mind!"

In what became a common occurance among BioMerge users, Wendy was eventually hospitalised on 9 February 2143, suffering from severe malnutrition caused from overdosing on Virtual Reality and forgetting to eat.

By 22 February 2143 Wendy had recovered sufficiently to be moved to a reality farm in upstate New York where, with professional help, she relearned traditional values like eating, bathing, school work and cleaning her room.
