Heartbeats

As soon as Venerable Jannzi Larkinson pressed the button, the Dullahan Project started to wake to life.

Numerous electronic systems booted up. They activated slower than usual because they needed to perform extensive internal diagnostics to confirm that they were performing normally.

At the same time, several needles and tubes extended from the piloting chair and abruptly poked into Jannzi's body!

In order to make sure that she did not make any dangerous movements, the chair also clamped down on her body so that it remained firmly in place while the crucial blood channels connected to her bloodstream!

What happened was not completely outside of her expectations, but the actual experience was much worse than its description!
