– Miss, has your ability to breathe and hold your breath been checked? Everything fine?
– Well, so far I‘m perfectly fit!
– Fantastic! You have to know that monotony cannot be fully avoided up there. In the end, it only serves one cause, which is your amusement, ultimately. So don‘t despair if you feel empty in phase 1. Always keep in mind that you are doing it for phase 2. You will literally be able to wave to the whole world. And you can do so with confidence, because we’ll be monitoring the capsule continuously, for your own safety of course.
– That’s great!
– (…) Even though zero gravity actually has a dampening effect on the mind, please do not underestimate this exceptional social situation. Do not take snappy comments too personally. As you know, there is not much space to get out of each other’s way. In any case, the times are over in which this type of travel was only good for scientific purposes. Just as large boats are no longer solely used for transport, but can also be enjoyed—at least to a certain extent.
– (…)
– You will receive a detailed instruction manual after which you can orient your daily routine up there. Among other activities, some of which are highly recommended, you will also find a note about using the sunlight simulation lamp. You are well advised to expose your unprotected face to this otherwise dreaded radiation for at least two times 5 minutes a day.

– We will freeze your body just at the time you desire. It is recommended to choose a moment at which you still feel healthy enough to embark on a second life in the future. Do you feel capable of making this self-assessment when the right time comes?
– I certainly think so, yes. I‘m generally very positive.
– That is the best prerequisite! Please just be careful not to overestimate yourself or you’ll end up with flaws our future selves cannot fix.

– (…) And you really had the impression that the mannequins wanted to escape from the shop window? Like… break out?
– They moved closer and closer to me. Their clothes ran down their smooth bodies like viscous liquid.
– What did you feel at that moment? Were there any physical impulses?
– I was only afraid at first. Then I felt a strong pull towards them, or drawn to them. I wanted to run away with them. A scene like a prison riot that could happen because the guard in charge fell asleep.
– …except that in this case, you were the guard.
