Behind the black confines of his eyelids, Ateryu was safe and free from all that was uniform and controlled. He could think and imagine anything; a little universe is a good way to put it. But it was time to wake up.
He heard himself breathing and his eyes registered the white ceiling up above. Ateryu sat up and looked at his legs, and then the sheets, and then the floor expanding beneath the bed which eventually led to a floor to ceiling window. Everything, save for the lush forest view, was white.
White ... so very white ...
Although white represented purity and virginity, Ateryu came to realize white also meant a restriction on life. But that was a thought for later.
The robotic and artificial replacements in his body started whirring and ticking. He had on a white long sleeve collared hospital shirt, the first few buttons not done, exposing a bit of his collarbone. And a pair of white pants that went to his ankles and were surprisingly fit. His whole room was white and on a nearby monitor words started to flicker.
Ateryu Revere Angrove
Status: Awake
Please proceed to the nearest nursing station...
He slid out of bed and did as the 60 inch monitor on the wall told him to do.
The door slid apart and he found himself in a busy hallway as always. Ateryu walked slowly to a nearby nursing station. One of the workers looked at him as he approached the counter but immediately she held up a finger to him as if telling him to wait. She was on the phone.
" ... what? glass? how?! .... " " ... do we have people down there? Yes ... okay good .... " " ... keep an eye on her for me ... "
From there she hung up and looked at Ateryu who had both his hands down to his side.
" Ateryu ... good morning, " she came over with a tray which held some white pills and a cup of water. " I need you to take these for me ... " Even the nurses uniform was white.
"What are they? " he asked looking at her and the pills with no emotion.
"Just something you need to take dear ... come on take it now ... " she started to sound annoyed, like she had better things to do.
He took it like she asked, and immediately he started to feel different. It is still a mystery to him what they are.
" Thank you.... " he said.
Turning around and starring down the white corridor he overheard the same nurse talk again.
" He keeps asking that every morning ... its so weird... " " Well why don't you tell him? " " Company policy remember? Oh right you're new here ... " " Company policy? What? " " Its so they can't run away or overpower us ... didn't you know? " " Oh .... I see ... well now I understand ... "
Ateryu felt a chill run down his spin, this was what it was all about. He walked through the corridor deep in thought.
