Julien stood there in the middle of the creepy cobblestone courtyard and stared at his empty hands while hoping his system shop would load fast enough to buy some decent gear for his team.

He stumbled backwards and waved his hands around trying to clear his vision, but the holographic text just followed his movements perfectly to stay right in the centre of his view.
He looked over at the rest of his rescue team and quickly realised he was not the only one dealing with an obnoxious digital interruption.
