Canaan - The Revival

[PKPower]

The needle slowly moved to the back of Nervas neck. Then with a sudden jerk it penetrated the skin over his spine. The pain was unbearable. As Nerva was about to pass out from the strain put on his body, another needle hit one of the veins on his arms. An intense, adrenalin-like sensation overcame him, keeping him concious.

"Ma- ... make it stop."

That was the only thing Nerva could mutter. Suddenly a ring-shaped apparatus appeared on one end of the recliner Nerva was fixed to. It twitched and surned around its own axis, before activating some sort of laser. The voice in his head re-appeared.

"You're making it harder than it needs to be. Just relax. Pain is temporary, immortality can be permanent."

As soon as the firs voice finished, a second, female voice burst out laughing.

"Very poetic, James."

The ring started moving around Nervas body. The lasers started to burn into his flesh and it felt like his body was replaced with something else that felt like it was less connected to himself, but he had much more control over. It felt like days had passed since the procedure started.
