Plot Outline:
Charlie's hunt for his artificial diamond ring - stolen from the shop where he pawned it to buy a car - leads him to Eckman, a ruthless diamond merchant who has been quietly manufacturing cultured diamonds for Vexcor. Not only is Eckman undermining the Betaverse diamond industry, but he's unwittingly working with Vexcor to create enough artificial diamond chips to implant in every Betaverse citizen. Soon everyone in Betaverse - like Alphaverse - will be monitored and controlled by the corporation. As Charlie pursues his ring, he's tormented by bitter memories of his days as a loyal soldier with Vexcor Special Ops. Brainwashed by Malachi, Reena's allegiance to the terrorist cell is put to the test when she's rigged up as a suicide bomber and sent into a daycare to murder Vexcor's Chairman Julius Galt, the father of one of the children.
