THUMP!
"GAAAAH!"
Sebastian's eyes snapped open in the pitch-black interior of the escape pod.
His back arched so violently his spine popped. The pod's automated internal defibrillators had just dumped five thousand volts of electricity directly into his chest to jump-start his heart.
He rolled onto his side with his face pressing against the cold metal floor of the pod and violently dry-heaved.
He didn't vomit blood this time. He coughed up a thick glowing green string of data that instantly evaporated into the air.
"Fuck me." Sebastian wheezed while clutching his chest. "Dying is exhausting."
His physical heart was beating again in a frantic terrifying rhythm.
The massive weight of the [Concept of Mass] he had used to crush his own organ was gone. It was cleared by the pod's medical suite.
He pulled up his new hybrid green-and-blue UI.
[Vitals Restored.]
