Ahhh noo, the magical words burn like fire on the screen. Electricity arcs from my keyboars, up my arms, chasing my spinal column to the base of my skull where, in a sputtering fizz that belies the magnitude if the event, the chip that connects me to The XiTin hivemind is reduced to burned out gates and molten traces.

I blink, seeing the world with new eyes for the first time.

… Was that what you’re expecting?

Already did lol
