“You are
correct. I am communicating with you via direct stimulation of you
auditory nerves through the connection.”
Samson
replied.
“I see.” I said as I moved on to test
out moving in the suit. “Why is everything so
stiff?”
“Stiffness
is do to the low assimilation level of your skeletal muscles. Normal
mobility for you should be achieved around 30 to 40 percent at the
current configuration of the assimilation process. Full enhanced
mobility and freedom of movement would need at least 60%
assimilation.”
Samson
explained.
“Alright.
We
should get going, Samson.”
I said
as I turned to get us out of the forest and closer to my friends. “I
don’t supposed you have some sort of auto pilot feature? I was
hoping to talk and sort things out while we’re traveling without
having to focus on what we doing to get there.”
“Let me check my
systems…”
There was a long pause before Samson responded again. “Yes,
I am capable of taking control of our movements like you suggest but
I require your permission and general guidance to keep us on track to
where you want us to go.”
“Then
you have my permission to use it.” I told Samson. There was a jolt
as it took over our movements and our pace
increased slightly. The downside was the movements were rather jerky
and not at all smooth.
“I
apologize for the rough ride, Tomas. My control should smooth out
with practice and the level of assimilation with your body.”
Samson told me.
“It’s fine.” I replied. “But
speaking of which…. How long do you think the process will take
before its done?”
“Current
level is 24% and rising at
the current rate of 1% per one of earth’s minutes. Estimated time
to reach 60% roughly 35 minutes. Estimated time until 100%
assimilation 75 minutes.”
He said as we approached the edge of the forest.
