One of my close friends wanted to read the short story before publication to provide notes, and I withheld the publication until now because of their willingness to assist me. There will eventually be a new version with minor edits after they have a chance to edit their draft. Until then enjoy, and I apologize for the wait!
Excerpt:
A yellow blinking light above a glass enclosure turned solid green as the pressurized air was released. It produced a short echo on the bridge of the Bohr transport craft. The chamber opened and revealed a naked man. As his eye lids twitched tiny fibers were wound around his exposed flesh by thousands of nozzles. The metallic spigots hissing as fabric flew out at incredible speeds. He reacted because of his training, and before any thoughts entered his mind, extended his arms. Soon they were covered in a green fabric interwoven with white tubes leading towards his heart. His voice box was rusty and could only release a light grown.
