Traveling all night on an animal really takes a toll on you, especially with out food and water. It gets even worse when you have to immediately resume a normal sleep schedule after having something surgically implanted in my brain.<br/><br/>Also, who the hell takes a liking to someone on the first day? Apparently me. My hormones must be having wars down there in my blood stream, I bet you can even hear them if you listen hard enough.<br/><br/>Walking into the room and exiting my thoughts, a very thick smell of... Is that burnt skin? No matter what it is, I let out a cough plainly because of how sudden it was. The whole team waiting for me, I do as I am told and strip my clothes off and hop - more slide, mind you - onto the metal table.<br/><br/>I didn't even notice something being inserted into my skin before an electrical signal was applied to it, but, to my dismay, the lights flickered a few seconds later and the brief outage left the machine going haywire. I didn't hear any screams of utter horror from the other rooms so it must be localized - leave it to me to be assigned the room with the trippy power. One of the team said something and pressed a few buttons but I wasn't paying attention to it, I was just letting everything become a blur - which probably isn't good, seeing as I am about to get a chip implanted in me.<br/><br/>Only a few seconds later there were a few sharp jolts to my back and a very weird sensation - is it bad that I kinda like the jolts? If I become somehow addicted to electrical shocks I'm suing this team after we take down Lumina, which I doubt will be possible.<br/><br/>After a sharp pain in my neck everything went a blur.<br/><br/><br/>* *<br/><br/>It's still not done... Being conscious during brain surgery is strangely boring, who would have thou-. That thought train was interrupted by a tingling sensation running down my spine and branching out through my nerves.<br/><br/>I wonder how this is going for Gerhard...
