>>>>>[Wha--Where? huh? I...]<<<<<
--patient #107, VM Intensive Care (11:04:52/05-29-56)

>>>>>[Relax, grasshopper. You're going to be okay. You had some
extensive surgery but the docs say you should make a full recovery.
In the meantime, they've installed some damage compensators that
should take care of the pain, so you can't feel anything.]<<<<<
--Nightstalker (11:08:13/05-29-56)

>>>>>[You did give us quite a scare, Michael. You--We are indeed
fortunate the shadowclinic had space available for you.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Where am I? I...what's happening?]<<<<<
--patient #107, VM Intensive Care (11:14:02/05-29-56)

>>>>>[I had them jack you into the matrix. Since your nervous system
is still recovering, I thought it best to reacclimatize yourself
to the matrix before you try to move again. Not that you can, right
now.]<<<<<
--Nightstalker (11:16:42/05-29-56)

>>>>>[I remember...snakes. Snakes coming out of the floor, the walls,
the cieling, and then my head was full of...*shudder*

Is it safe? are they gone?]<<<<<
--patiet #107 (11:19:54/05-29-56)

>>>>>[Yes, relax now, little one.
*****NOT TO: patient #107
I'm still worried about this. He's so fragile; the trauma he must've
experienced in here...and then to be thrust back into it.]<<<<<
--Raven TM (11:22:01/05-29-56)

*****NOT TO: Patient #107
>>>>>[Don't be so nervous. He's on all the monitors, and it's better
for him to get back up and try again than be afraid for the rest of
his life. Besides, it's either here or floating in sensory deprivation,
and I _know_ that'd drive me nuts.]<<<<<

>>>>>[So, Moonhopper, you are now ready to venture into the matrix
once more. But you must remember your training if you are to regain
your memory. Come, begin your practice, and I will observe and
meditate.]<<<<<

left to Nightstalker's tender mercies.(sic)
Don't wake me until tomorrow.]<<<<<
