Armored Agony

[Ryummel]

806 A.S. - Unknown place

He felt the cold metal blending with his skin... A strange feeling of harmony and agony at the same time. Blurred images are projected on his mind for a few seconds.
Suddenly, a metallic voice sounded.

Drones placed, doors locked... Disabling cryostasis system in 1 minute... 56th security camera activated...

Vital signs... Under control... 38 beats per minute... Brain pulse, normal... Excellent! Injecting adrenaline in ... 3... 2... 1...

The blurred images dissappeared. A warm feeling covered his face: a mask was covering his face... Then, he opened his eyes.

Come on, get out of the pod... The Subject could notice the voice came from an intercom. He got out of the cryostasis pod. Two security drones were aiming at him.

Can you hear me? I'm talking to you, Subject '7130' ...

Subject...Seven... One... Three... Zero... His voice sounded muffled. Then, he took two steps forward.

Ex-ce-llent! Nearly 17 years of work... *Sigh* Well, Subject 7130, proceed through the corridor, please...

The Subject began to walk. The drones were still aiming at him.
