SONAIS strip 312. At long last, everyone wakes up again in the present reality.
References: barf: strip 198; cafestol: strips 189 and 302
A similar spiraling effect as when they entered the simulation, but then in the reverse direction.
SFX: WHOOOSHH

Adil: Eww, I can still taste the cafestol…
Alana: Back at last!
Steve: Thank goodness, I actually did not barf onto myself.
Max: Ouch, my body hurts… as if I fell from a building and then exploded!

Heidi: It was incredibly immersive indeed. How long were we gone in this reality?
OIB-A271: Slightly less than a full hour.
Heidi: And how close to running out of quantum matter?
OIB-A271: About 10% left, it was becoming a close shave…
