| Summary:
The Sliders arrive on a desolate, barren, wind-blown
street. As they proceed to the Chandler they are magnetized with a kind of digital energy.
Suddenly, they are in the lobby of a brilliantly lit, bright-colored luxury hotel. There
they meet the owner, the real Archibald Chandler. The hotel and staff see to our heroes'
every need, except for one. They are not allowed to leave The Chandler. The Sliders soon
realize that they have been transformed into computer-generated images while their real
bodies are "outside" the hotel. The Chandler environment that seemed so
luxurious is actually a computer-scape and the Sliders have been reduced to programs that
reside within. They confront Archibald and demand to be released. He denies their request
and retaliates by deleting Maggie from the computer. But, as with all computer programs, a
file deleted is not necessarily irretrievable. Quinn must distract Chandler while the
others try to track down the missing Maggie program. She is still somewhere in the
computer, immersed deep in the system's junk file. |
