The mind is a wonderful toy. A tale of a woman with no past and every future.

[Nicole Hunter]

While a carnival of flashbacks was going before Siren's sedated consciousness seizure after seizure began to shake her body. A medical monitor viewed on the large screen indicated rising blood pressure and pulse. Once the values exceeded critical levels a silent medical alarm started to flash. Young woman began to spasm and struggle. Her convulsions became more and more frequent.

- Professor, she won't take it much longer. We need to stabilize her now.

Nicole Hunter took her hypnotainment band off and looked at the medic, then the readings and finally the medic once again, completely ignoring suffering woman on the neural interface chair. - Two weeks... - she whispered to herself before once again looking at the medical readings going above critical levels. In the past she used to continue her interrogations past the safety limits which often resulted in permanent health loss or sometimes even death of the captive. However, this time it was supposedly an ally.

- Do it.
- Yes m'am!

Procedure of inducing repressed memories was instantly cancelled once medic injected Siren with a hyper-sedative. One last spasm went through her body as she deeply exhaled, when a Lane Hacker leading the team which task was to crack the implant approached Nicole to report their progress.

- We are ready to initiate debriefing mode, Professor.
- What is the progress with implant's software decompilation?
- We have already unlocked majority of procedures. Most are centered around combat, self-maintenance, physical conditioning and healing.
- What about forceful mental conditioning? Any subroutines capable of overriding Siren's free will?
- None yet, but I am confident we will eradicate them all if there are any by tomorrow.
- Very well. Thank you. Please put her into debriefing mode now. Let us finally learn what she was up to.

A young man nod and turned back to his team to give them a sign to start. Professor Hunter as well as four other senior Lane Hackers put once again their hypnotainment bands on and the neural interface chamber suddenly became completely dark. Only a small spot of light was left in the center in which leaning Siren Stone was clasping her hands to her ears. Suddenly a series clunks was heard and Siren noticed five illuminated platforms with five people standing on them, each wearing a uniform of a high ranking LSF officer.

- Stand up, agent Stone! - a female officer in the center ordered.

Siren slowly took her hands off her head and while putting a lot of effort into it she finally stood up.

- Please state primary and secondary objectives of your current assignment.
