The Vicinity

The Vicinity was a virtual reality which Chris Cwej lived in during his time as a disembodied consciousness bonded with V-Time. While the Vicinity in many ways was the container of Cwej's consciousness, she also possessed a female persona named Vicky (PROSE: The Aftermath, Rebel Rebel)

Physically, the Vicinity was a small glowing glass-like cube (PROSE: The Aftermath) containing a crystalline masterwork of cognitive engineering sliced from the Superiors' Matrix. (PROSE: The Ursine Brood) This cube had been smelted on a volcano planet from a piece of the lagh slab Cwej's consciousness had been transferred into during the V-Time Experiment, with the other pieces of this slab being in the microchips which Cwej-V used to inhabit Cwejen; on a higher dimension, all of these pieces still existed as a single undivided object, with the cube acting as an anchor. (PROSE: The V Cwejes)

The Vicinity's interior resembled a timeless white void in which Cwej could summon any object he wanted. (PROSE: A Bright White Crack)

As Vicky, the Vicinity once created a physical humanoid body using similar principles to humanoid timeships. She had long red hair and a body Cwej was attracted to. (PROSE: The Aftermath) At the very culmination of Cwej's bonding with V-Time, he had briefly seen his own shadow as a red-haired woman. (PROSE: The V Cwejes)
