When the integrator fields hit my skin with that light electric tingle, my whole body relaxes. I sag until only the maglev field holds me up, and just then the immobilizer kicks in. I feel completely safe, protected and nurtured in my electric swaddle. The light tingle becomes a funny bone buzz all over my body as the fields remove my skin, atom by atom. It doesn’t hurt; the system has set my neural chip to filter out pain sensations. The vibrating numbness doesn’t exactly rouse me, but it tells my body that night is over and morning has begun.

But not quite yet. I luxuriate in the sensation as it sinks deep into my bones, spreading like warmth. I review my dreams as the maglev slowly turns me, exposing all of me to the integrator fields.

That moment of maximum disintegration humbles me. I feel vulnerable, weightless, alone in all the universe. I’m a mind unburdened by body, function without form, God of my own tiny everything.

The rush of reintegration thrills me. I love the way it starts my day. Whole and hale from inside out, ready to burst free from the maglev cocoon and conquer the world.
