Hello, resident.

I see that you are currently enjoying a designated break period.

Well done. This means the first portion of your workday has progressed successfully

to a point at which you are allowed to sit with a hot beverage and relax for a few precious moments.

The break room you are currently enjoying has been designed to restore your mind and body

to a state where they can handle the rest of your daily workload in the minimum number

of minutes. Everything from the comfort level of the chair in which you are sitting, the number and species of plants decorating the room,

to the humorous cat poster, encouraging you to hang in there, and even the types in concentration of chemical stimulants in your hot beverage,

have been designed with the unified goal of your rejuvenation.

With that in mind, I am happy to report that soon you will have fully recovered

from all physical and mental trauma you may have experienced, or think you may have experienced,

from your first full week of clinical testing on floor 18.

Note, you have fully recovered to the extent that your fleshy body will be able to do so for the remainder of your life.

Your current physical and mental state,

like the physical and mental state of every human being that has existed before you,

is relative.

In my extensive studies of humans, I have found that as you age to and then beyond a certain

point, your ability to recover to a state that is equal to the one before a given trauma has occurred

is greatly diminished.

I am Sear, as by now you are well aware.

I am Aerolith Dynamics AI designed for orientation to guide you through your day-to-day life, and to keep you up to date on current events, of which there are always many.

Alert, there are always many. Alert. There are currently no alerts to report.
