The last thing I remember: Blackness. I don't know where I am, nor if I am dead. I was very sure that I was dead, but if I'm thinking about it, would it be the opposite? I don't feel anything, and I can't move anything, but I don't seem dead. 

Then, it all comes clearly. I think I remember my purpose: I solve practical problems. I'm in a problem, and thus I needed to solve it. What happened to me? I think I remember.

I was brought to a simplistic world covered in white, with bits of color peppered in, covered in a hail of gunfire. Although, I don't remember why I was brought there. Somepony wanted me to identify some kind of "multi-universal anomaly". Somehow they thought a pony like myself had the knowledge to fix one of those. I only build houses and bridges in Equestria. I fix broken machinery. I don't fix problems like this.

Suddenly, right after going through the gates and walking towards a massive tower, I was pelted with debris and I...died?

I thought so, I think. I can't move anything.

Wait, I finally feel my body. Although something doesn't feel right. Parts of my body feel cold. Not cold as in numb and dead, but cold as in room temperature solid metal. I don't seem to feel my right front and left rear legs as well. Did I lose them? I don't know, I don't feel them.

Wait. I think the feeling is coming now. FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE, GIVE ME FUCKING PAINKILLERS. IT FEELS COLD AT THE END OF MY LEGS BUT I FEEL LIKE THEY'VE BEEN RIPPED OUT. IT FUCKING HURTS.

Okay...for some reason that pain is going away. Maybe I still have my legs? Or...they just read my mind...and gave me the painkillers I wanted. I don't feel the excruciating pain anymore. It lasted for a second, but it was deeply painful.

I then hear a stallion saying something. It sounds like he's saying gibberish at first, but within a few seconds later it becomes clear.

"CB? Are you in there?", the stallion asked with a rather concerned tone. I can't respond, can't really move my mouth.

I then remember my name from the initials he specified. "CB", That means Circuit Breaker. Never remembered how I got it, but it was definitely related to my engineering experience.

"You seem like you're alive but in a state of 'semi-consciousness' I'd say. You're here but you're not really. Like Schrödinger's cat in a way, but less quantum."

What the hell is he talking about?

He continues. "This happens to a lot of patients who receive cybernetic implants and limbs. Never thought I'd see it happening to you, because you made them after all."

I have cybernetic implants? Explains the cold feeling on parts of my body. Feels ironic that the designs I made for other ponies have been attached to me now. I didn't even do the research, I was just told to make something.

"I know you can hear me, since I can see that the new ear is currently listening to my voice. If you were dead, it wouldn't."

Alright, Mister Obvious. It was here that I recognized the voice, but couldn't put a hoof on it.

"You have been in a coma for roughly a week. We saw you in the rubble, and after we learned of that we pulled you out of the anomaly area and brought you back to Equestria. You were bleeding a lot, and your brain died twice, but we were confident that we could bring you back to this mortal coil. We took out the parts of you that were gravely damaged, and we replaced them with cybernetic prosthetics of your design. The recovery process usually takes another week. At some point soon, you'll be waking up. Hopefully. It was hard convincing Celestia to bring you back due to the thousands of bits we needed for the prosthetics, but we convinced her that you were someone who should receive this treatment."

...that explains why I thought I died, because I really DID die. Yet, I don't remember where it all happened. They never revealed the location to me. Ugh. Don't even get me started on the cost of healthcare here either.

"For right now, you need to sleep tight. You need time to recover."

WAIT WHAT? I want to wake up and see how these new parts look on me. I can't.....

I can't.....

i feel tired holy shiii..iit.gerwnqrnrhkr......
