It's that time of the day again, the time when I sit down and waste an hour of my life trying to get recognition on the internet. I'm just joking, I love doing what I do, and recognition is just a bonus. Enjoy.
The next day, we got to enter our blue selves for the first time. As we walked into the link room, I looked over at Norm who was smiling from ear to ear. "Don't you ever live for the small things?" I asked as I sighed, and he looked over at me. "Like what?" He asked, and I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, morning coffee, refreshing shower?" I said, and he chuckled. "Ah, well that's not important now. You better brace for the ride of your life." He said as we walked over to grace who was looking very dissatisfied about something. "What's wrong with you?" I asked her as we walked up, and Norm looked like he wanted to punch me. Apparently Grace wasn't used to being talked to like that, but I really didn't care. "Nothing is wrong with me, it's the fact that Seflrige sent me a cripple marine!" She yelled, and I sighed while looking over at Jake who was not very satisfied by her comment. "I'm not going to get s involved until someone starts saying I'm a burden." I said, and walked over to one of the screens that had the avatar brain displayed on it. The woman sitting at the desk looked up at me, and said. "You're the new field medic?" I nodded, and she looked back down at the screen. "You know the anatomy better than I do so, do you see anything wrong?"
I rotated the display around a little, and said. "Nothing yet, but see this part of the brain right here?" I pointed to a certain spot, and she nodded. "Make sure that the neural connection makes it to that point, and we'll be hunky dory." She smiled, and I walked over to Norm. Leaning in I whispered. "What's with the girl asking me for advice?" He took a quick glance over at her, and then looked back at me. "She came in on the same ship you did, and she's a little nervous." He said, and I smiled. Patting him on the back, I said. "That's all I need to know, see you when I get back." He smiled, and I walked over to where Grace and Jake were. "Just hop in the next one, and well, you know the rest." I nodded, and got into the plastic and metal casket. "This'll be a comfortable short coma." I muttered as I got ready for the transfer. I closed my eyes, and made the link. When I opened them again I was in a much brighter room with two people leaning over me. After checking my eyes and my ears they had me sit up. "Careful now, don't push yourself." I heard to my right, and I looked over to see Jake standing. "We're gonna work on motor controls now, are you ready?" The woman in front of me said, and I turned back to her. "Alright, let's get this over with." I said, and she had me touch my fingers to my thumbs and the whole nine yards.
Just as we were about to get done there was a large clatter back to the right. Jake was standing, and his tail was knocking all sorts of shit off of the tables and counters. Just as they were about to sedate him he took off towards the door. I stood to stop him but the woman in front of me stopped me in my tracks. "Sit back down Dillon, we have him." I shook my head, pulled the leads off of me. Norm got out before me, and hit the door. But I had an advantage over him, I could actually run right off, and he couldn't. I barreled after Jake, but he gained his composure, and took off running himself. I lost sight of him, and when I saw him again he was standing in front of Grace in her avatar. She looked past him, and over at me. welcome to the bigger world." She said as I walked over to them. As I stood next to Jake, I noticed that I almost had to look straight down at him. "I think your tallness transferred into this body." Grace said as she motioned for us to follow her. We did, and after getting some clothes on we met everyone else that had a blue body. After dark she put us all to bed, and we wok back up in the link room. "You dumbass, don't every do something like that again!" Max yelled at all of us as we sat up. "Oh calm down, nobody got hurt." I said as I sat up, and stretched. He sighed, and stormed off. "What ever, I give up." I chuckled, and thought to myself. "I'm going to bed." A while later Jake showed up in the room, and I pretended to be asleep. The night went by slowly, and the next day I woke up to some news
