#augmented human

It starts with entertaining a mininal function mode and borderline disassociation to allow for physical cleaning. Carfully opening and cleaning every physical port, ensuring every connection is in good condition. It's a soft pain, a tingling feeling. Like cleaning a human ear and nose with a cotten swab.

Then, the non critical software checks. The body goes completely numb, a pinpointing numbness flowing up and down every nerve. Feeling akin to when a human crosses their legs and their foot tingles.

The visual systems get static and snow as diagnostics run. Audio completely cuts, not even a soft ringing just pure lack of imput. Scent and taste cut next. A few minutes of tota sensory deprivation and mental processor throttling.

Then, the protocol ends. An euphoric tingle rides up and down the spinal core as the nerve web reconects. The hum of the matinance room ventilation and lighting returns. Th clean scent of the room fills the nasal centers, as well as the soft scent of the Aug's Handler.

Then taste, and finaly sight. The first thing they see is their Handler smiling.

"Self care's over love. Now lets polish you up."
