The Surgery
Eight days ago, I walked into a government hospital, not knowing what to expect. They led me into a brightly lit room and put me under. For seven days, the only memories I have are of pain, of vertigo, of lightning searing my nerves, and of the purest black abyss. I awoke yesterday, although my senses were still asleep. Even blind, deaf, numb, I felt somehow more alive than I ever had before. I could think ten, twenty, a hundred thoughts at once. It was pure raw mind-power... but it was--is--still raw.
The suits tell me that I'll be able to calculate pi to a million digits, that I'll be able to debug massive programs that would vex even international corporations, that I'll be able to calculate the speed of a bullet as it coursed through the air. Right now though, I'm having a difficult time just keeping my thoughts in order enough to write this journal.
They're going to run a bunch of tests and reprogramming on me over the next couple of months. I don't know what that entails, but I hope it doesn't change my personality--or worse, erase any of my memories. After that, I'll be on board the generation ship, the one that will take me far away from this life on Earth.
I've always gotten a kick out of life, and I (sort of) knew what I was getting myself into when I volunteered for this job, but I'm ready for the next step. This is an opportunity of a lifetime--of multiple lifetimes, if what the suits say is true, that the cybernetics they installed in my body will prevent aging and disease. Hell, I think the sole reason I chose this job was because I didn't want to die. Not that I'm too terribly afraid of death, but just that I'd miss out on a lot if I were to die a natural death in eighty years. I'm curious about the distant future, and I'm willing to go through anything to make sure I see it.
