A nebulous image is taking shape... I have been contemplating it for several hours. They make it confusing for me at times, it feels like in the classes where they forced us to swim in lethal water; Anyone who lost and drank some of that water had to undergo apheresis, even so I could see the water through my Googles and it looked like this, a cloudy and distant world, it is not cold, it is not fresh, it is comfortable and dark... I think I can be like this for a long time.

I have eaten something; It is of little nutritional value compared to my diet, but that could mean that I fell into the hands of some enemy... Was it of no use escaping to come and fall somewhere? I think I was drugged... something strong but my system is already getting it out, I can see it from the environment; It is a little stale but it is not a desert aroma. I am in a room, it is not dark, without a doubt it is the most civilized thing I have seen so far; It's a laboratory, that's for sure, the flasks and phials distort the objects behind them, a movement makes me realize that I am lying on my side. It is evident that someone knows how to use the dialysis catheters and the elimination probes, both are connected to the suit and this to my body, all the safety implements have that shape; It facilitates any type of diet and emergency treatments, which explains why the foods were poor in nutrients, they are only necessary to prevent the stomach from developing gastritis due to not having anything to digest; I received most of the food intravenously, that worries me but not much. The diets are very similar, some tablets with protein, filled with fiber for the stomach and the rest (vitamins and minerals) in intravenous vials or in serums.

I sit up calm and collected, there is no use trying to attack, I am not tied, there is no immediate threat; I was fed, so I wasn't at risk like the guys who ate out of the robot... that was disturbing, anyway, getting up wasn't a problem, but I felt weak, rather I felt human; I think the suit was discharged because I didn't have it connected to the main cabin system... my poor machine, they gave me the best model... the best prototype in my world (I better calm down... I don't know who is here but I shouldn't cry, because it's sign of weakness). I saw a jug of water on the side of my bunk… real, delicious and pure water; I want to drink you but it's not possible, not while I don't know how healthy you are, "it's clean of toxins, you can drink it with confidence," the voice takes me by surprise; I turn to find a guy who is more than a head taller than me; I want to get into a combat position but I think better of it: it is impossible to beat him, I am not short (I am 1.87) but he has escape and attack armor, comparing that with my interface suit it is like asking a bullet fired by hand to pierce durasteel and of course, I introduce myself: I am Joshua from generation 01111111, future person in charge of managing the paleobotany company (although at the moment I have not seen anyone being assigned), I am currently exiled due to abuse of authority and extreme curiosity, I find myself on a trip to the hospital that I saw in the distance; I suffered an attack and my trans... my armor... I was left with no way to move (breathe easy, they must not know what happened) and now that I think about it I ask you: How do I know that that water is drinkable?

He walked slowly to where the jar was; he filled a glass and emptied it in one fell swoop. He continued like this until he poured the last drop from the jug. Then he went to a barrel at the back of the room and filled it again. He indicated with a gesture that I should drink it; I, the truth is still doubtful; he snorts and motions for me to follow him. He uncovers the dialysis cannula in his belly and pours some liquid into a petri dish, then, with an isop, smears the transparent substance on the slide and asks me if I know how to use the microscope. I feel a little insulted, since our preparation does include a microbiology course; We have to be able to distinguish what can kill us... but it is not here; there is nothing lethal about the crop; I could be fooled but I don't think that's the case and armed with courage I take the first sips.

The sensation was very different, it didn't taste like anything and it tasted like heaven, the sensor on my suit tells me that there is no danger in what I ingest... simple and plain H2O, I realized that I was crying... I, the best in combat and use of weapons, the one who learned more than one discipline, the one who was forced to wander aimlessly and felt like the king of the world, the one who lost his best weapon for not knowing what was out there, the content ends and I turn to look at the person, who has taken off his helmet and reveals the image of a boy of no more than nineteen years old (I saw him taller because of his suit, but he must be quite short in stature) who indicates to me with a gesture that I can serve myself again, Only then did I realize that that "I" had been alone.
