The room was quiet and cool. All I could see is the white tiles that covered the walls and floor as well as my reflection in the two way glass in-front of me. I was reclined in a chair designed by a whole team of engineers, hooked up to a machine that cost more money to develop than I'd ever see in a lifetime. I could feel cold electrodes against multiple points on my head, shaved for the procedure. 
 
 I was nervous, everyone one, though the people who put blood, sweat, tears and untold number of hours of their life into this project were n't putting their life on the line. They said the transfer process was painless, and effortless, but there was the risk of not being able to come back. I did n't really want to come back anyway... I had nothing else left here which made me a perfect candidate. 
 
'The transfer will begin in one minute.' a voice said over an hidden speaker somewhere in the featureless room.'We're performing our final calculations. Stay calm, everything will be fine. Half of the project has been designed by our AI and has eliminated any room for human error. You are in good hands.'' 
 
 I took a deep breath. Stay calm, everything will be fine. I started to think about the other side. I wondered how it would be to be within the machine. To digitize my consciousness. They had created a virtual reality interface for me on the other side where they would conduct further tests. 
 
 `` Transfer commencing in 3...'' I closed my eyes, prepared for... whatever comes next, `` 2...'' Deep breath. Stay Calm, `` 1... Activate.'' 
 
 Blackness. Like someone turned off a light switch. 
 
 Then light. Nothing but white. 
 
 I looked around. I was n't in the chair, at least not the same chair I was in. It was an old reclining chair, dusty and tattered. I was naked, but looked like a ken doll, smooth all over for whatever reason. 
 
 In front of me, I saw a table that I could swear was n't there a moment ago. On it: a white envelope with'Subject 01' written on it and a TV remote next to it. I guessed that the envelope was for me... Subject 01 was what I was referred to by the engineers. I opened it up, ignoring the remote for now. 
 
 In the envelope was a letter. On it were the words:'Press Power.' 
 
 I looked to the remote and back at the letter. These guys made a really weird interface for me. But I guess this is all about research and experimentation. I followed the instructions and pressed power. 
 
 A screen appeared in front of me, hanging in the air. It was the room I was in... that I AM in. 
 
'It appears something went wrong with the transfer.'' a voice said, coming from screen. 
 
 `` Seems that way.'' a familiar voice said. For a moment I could n't put my finger on who's voice it was, but then it hit me with a shock: it was mine. Someone came and helped the person in the chair out of the chair- helped ME out of the chair. What was going on? 
 
 `` We're experiencing technical difficulties with our computer systems. Something went wrong with our A.I.'' The voice said over the intercom, `` We'll get this figured out, just come back in tomorrow and we'll get this transfer right.'' 
 
 The man in the room... me... nodded and started to leave the room. Before he did, he glanced towards the camera, smiled and left...
