Finding Self

[Boss]

The checks complete, Charles walked over to The Rack, as theyd termed it. It wasnt really a rack, and didnt even bear a passing resemblance to one. In all fairness, it looked more like a dentists chair crossed with a cement mixer. They called it that because of the clamps on the leg- and armrests. Nobody was quite sure what the body would do once the mind left it, so they werent taking any chances. Nobody was quite sure what anything would do once the link was in place. For all the animal testing, the human mind is a thousand times a thousand times more complex, and the slightest miscalculation might send Chucks mind off into the void. Nothing was certain.

As Danziger took his seat in the Rack, his mission operator, name of Sandra Echles, strode over with her clipboard under her arm. Her job was to keep in contact with Charles as he made his way through the simulation. For this run, theyd chosen a simulacrum of the lab for him to run around in, complete with stocked cafeteria and storage rooms.
