Chapter 06: Wake Up
Marek didn't take us far; we turned to the second door down the corridor. The first thought that crossed my mind when I entered the room was that the machine that filled the room was an MRI scanner on steroids. It was huge. On closer inspection however, it was apparent that the superficial similarities disguised a technology that had very little relation to anything on Earth. There were no apparent controls and absolutely no evidence of any computer screens or anything similar.
"Please remove all your clothing and one at a time lay down on the ledge," Marek instructed.
The three of us looked at each other and then back at Marek. None of us made any move to comply though.
"I am quite aware of your clothing taboos; I am afraid that you will have to overcome that quickly. We have no time for that here."
I decided that I may as well lead the way. I had experienced enough situations where physical modesty was not an issue. The only complication here was the addition of females to the mix. I was a little selfconscious as I stripped down, but pretended that it didn't bother me.
Once I had stripped, I lay down on a ledge that protruded from a tunnel through the 'machine'. As soon as I was settled, the ledge started to move and I decided that it was more of a trolley. It carried me slowly into the tunnel and I found myself drifting off to sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying on a bed in another of the ubiquitous white rooms. I lifted my head to look around and saw that this room was a lot larger than any I had been in up to now. I estimated that there were a hundred beds in the room and each one had a naked person lying on it. That was a bit of a surprise, but of more interest to me was to see if there had been any changes made to my body. My first quick check didn't reveal anything different and I had to struggle to suppress my disappointment.
