He experienced the briefest spike of pain in his eyeballs and, for some reason, his toes, before passing out.
He came round from the blackout feeling… weird. Disconnected, like waking up from an anaesthetic or coming round from a migraine. He checked his internal clock. Offline. Hopefully not permanently. Had he damaged brain tissues? Memory loss was a common side-effect of EM disruption. He ran through a list of names. Kelly, Devi, Ballard, Mac, Jones, recalling the face of each. OK. It seemed like he could still remember people. He opened his eyes.
He seemed to be looking at his room through the wrong end of a telescope. Not so good. Hard to tell if it was an effect of the acid or the disruptor. Hopefully it was temporary either way. He checked through his plug-ins. All offline. No way
