White. That was first thing that she remembered seeing. A field of white intersected, and divided by beams of a brilliant ruby red. She reached out her bare right and ran her supple fingers red gaps between the white plates on the floor beneath her. It felt so strange, so bizarre, and yet...

...and yet it was oddly soothing as well. It was like a maze. A labyrinth

Red cables slunk around the floor, sneaking, crawling its way toward her. One wrapped around her right shoulder. It went behind her head and out of her sight. But she felt it. Felt it right inside the back of her head. A blanket of the reddest, softest silk was wrapped loosely around her body. She was naked and felt every fiber of that cloth and every seam in the floor as it rubbed against her smooth sensitive skin.

The thought occurred to her that the simple fact that she was completely naked in a sealed room with a substantial piece of sophisticated digital cable sticking out of her head, should have bothered her.

But it didn't. Nothing really seemed to bother her...not that she could remember to be bothered very much by.

She couldn't remember her name.

She couldn't remember a thing about her past, that is if she even had a past.

The only place she could remember was that room.

The extent of her life, as she knew it, was in that room.

Just then a seem appeared in the wall to her right. She watched as the seemed grew wider and wider. Before long an open doorway stood before her, a doorway filled with light. Into that light stepped a man. A man dressed in the suit and white lab coat of a scientist engineer.

He looked like a young man. A man with a mop of wild unruly jet black hair. He wore a pair of dark lensed glasses and a smile on face.

She watched as he took two steps into the room and knelt before her on the white tiled floor.

"I know that you might not know it," he began in a sort of nervous, uneasy sort of voice. "...but I think...I believe that you'll understand..." he paused as he took a short deep breath. His smile broadened even wider. "We were able to purge your neural network of all the company's programming...you're free!"

"Free..." she whispered. She stared at her hands as she tried to process what this stranger had just said. "Free..." she repeated as the concept slowly dawned on her. "Free!"
