#1669: Planespotting
[[A man sits on a medical examination table. He’s wearing a headset with lot of wires attached to it, which lead to a complicated-looking device. A woman’s operating the device.]]
Woman: Neural-digital link established. Ready to upload your consciousness to the computer?
Man: Sure, go for it.
[[She presses a button. The wires light up; the man looks shocked.]]
«Bzzzzzzt»
[[There’s no more sparks; the woman taps on the computer’s keyboard.]]
Woman: … hmm.
Man: What?
Woman: It’s not responding - the whole system is frozen. I think the transfer failed.
Man: No, that sounds right.
