Platinum Plan Members Guide
Welcome to our innovative Medical suite here at Twilight Inc. We pride ourselves on our position as the number one provider of stasis berths.
As our valued customer, first let us thank you for entrusting us with your most valuable asset – yourself.
As a platinum member we recognize the many years of hard work for the Collective and the diligent payments you have made to ensure your retirement goes smoothly. We know you are used to the finer things in life, and you can rest assured that your comfort is our number one concern.
For your safety, please place all valuable items, such as wedding rings, ear loops and helios, in the marble pedestal beneath your unit. Your belongings will be securely stored in the retractable drawer, which cannot be opened until you are awake and able to access it for yourself.
Simply place your forefinger on the pad in the front of the drawer, hold it there until the light turns green, then remove. This is a biostatometer, so you can sleep well in the knowledge that only your unique genetic code and thermo-muscular signature will unlock it. We have used the same technology with your larger possessions at our storage unit on base Epsilon Five.
Next, please remove your clothing and put on the grey jumpsuit and hood provided to you by our medical technicians. Don’t be concerned if it seems thin – this is so the monitors can register all your vitals while asleep, and your unit will be kept at a perfect 72 degrees Fahrenheit throughout your retirement with us.
Please step inside the unit, then turn to face the medical technician so that they can assist with the wire placements. This step may take ten minutes – please be patient, as your safety is paramount to us.
Once the unit closes, you will hear a click and a soft hissing. This is merely the sound of the sleeping gas filling the chamber, and nothing to be afraid of. The technician will remain present until you are fully sedated and continue their checklist. Try to remain calm and breathe deeply as this will speed up the process. Think about the beautiful milky waters of the lagoons on Epsilon 9, visualize yourself relaxing on the pale green sands. Breathe in, breathe out. Allow your mind to drift as the gas enters your system, spreading like warm honey through your limbs, your lungs, your veins.
Thank you again for picking Twilight Inc. for your retirement package. We will see you on the other side – Rest and Rejuvenate. You’ve earned it!
