Coma

How long have I been out?  Hours? Days?  The manual states that disengagement should only be conducted under medical supervision.  I know it by heart.  I wrote most of it myself.  I've been present at the surgical removal of all the tubes and arterial channels that bind the human driver to the vehicle - I can see those pictures in my mind - and, despite what the public records say, it's only successful in 10% of cases.  So that bit I know.  I remember my training, I'm aware of breathing, of my pulse, of feeling hungry, of a roughness in every channel and cavern of my body.  But some things haven't totally returned.  My location, my mission, what day it is and my eyesight.  Oh, yeh... and who the hell am I?
