-"I'm up," Xeon says tiredly. Getting up, he notices a notification on the forearm display of the HMP suit. "Internal emergency aid kit is about to expire. Internal medication kit is running low (Low medications: cyclosporine, prednisone)." "Of course it is," Xeon says, annoyed. Getting out of bed, he notices it's a bit gloomy outside. "Lovely," in a genuine tone. "I always like a nice dark day to start with." Continuing on to the kitchen where he kept his spare internal kits, he got a call from Quin. "What is she calling at this hour for?" He wondered. Answering the call on his forearm display, she said, "Hey Xeon! I need you over here at the research lab. No rush, but it is important." Xeon, confusedly, said in response, "What do you need over there?" "It's a surprise!" Quin said playfully. "Okay, I guess," Xeon said as he hung up. "What could she have for me?" Xeon said as he selected his custom yamma order for his yamma maker. The machine hummed slightly, then it started pouring fresh and steaming yamma-infused water. "Yamma, the life force of the modern workforce." As Xeon sipped his yamma slowly, feeling his body come to life with energy, he thought to himself, "I should replace my internal meds." Xeon went over to the cabinet where he kept his internal medicine boxes. He opened the small hatch on his side, removed the tiny compartments for the emergency first aid and the medications that needed to be replaced. After that, he placed a new compartment in its place. His forearm display lit up, "Medication levels: OK. First aid status: OK." Having seen it a million times, he tapped it away without reading it. "Time to head to the research lab," Xeon thought. The HMP suit connected to Xeon's phone and asked, "Where would you like to go?" "University of Kentucky research labs," Xeon replied. "What kind of music would you like on your walk?" "Play some classical music," Xeon said. Xeon was always fascinated with ancient history, including their music. The suit replied, "Got it. Playing 'Virtual Insanity'." The suit's speakers were specially designed to make audio only audible to the user to not annoy anyone. As Xeon walked down the road to his university, he stopped by a convenience store to grab a quick bite to eat. Walking in, he greeted the store owner at the register, walked over, and got a burrito from the warm food stand. "Will that be all?" the owner said. "Yes," Xeon responded. "Okay, that will be $435.21." Xeon paid using the back of his hand since his credit card information is saved in his suit. "Thank you." "You're welcome!" Xeon replied. Exiting the store, Xeon unwrapped the burrito from its bioplastic wrapping and proceeded to eat it. His forearm display lit up with the message "Would you like to log what you are eating?" Xeon tapped "yes" and proceeded to quickly log the burrito. "Successfully logged. Remaining calories: 1820. Note: this food is high in protein." Xeon made his way into the Lexington research lab. Walking in, he looked at the many awards that previous employees had gotten. "Invented the Quantum Entanglement Device - Richard Powell, 3306.", "Invented the first quantum computer - Daniel Provard, 3338", "First 1-to-1 meat substitute - Jannette McDowell, 3345". "Such amazing accomplishments. I wish I could be on that board one day," Xeon thought.
