Much like the downtime in The Matrix movies, where Neo jacks out of The Matrix and gets to prepare for the next battle alongside his buddies in Zion, there's plenty of opportunities to "jack out" of this simulated world and just relax, given the exhausting potential of such a manic, vibrant locale. Exit the simulation and you'll be able to interact with your comrades, even starting a relationship with them regardless of their gender. However, try to start something with Keith David and he'll have nothing of it (a clause in his contract, perhaps?). As if the (virtual) world of Steelport didn't offer enough, you can duck out for a breather when the going gets too tough.
