How do you respond?

Fine just do it.

She nods then gestures to the two nurses. "The only alternative to the security harness is to isolate the trigger for the spontaneous cognitive transference until a cure for your predicament can be administered." The two nurses swiftly move to either side of you, one bearing a shining steel case, and the other prepares a hose which she connects to a valve in the ceiling. You glance to Samantha who merely shrugs.

"There are a few ways we can do this Ms.Doe" Dr.Lybeck leans over you and continues. "Despite the trouble you've caused us, I'm prepared to give you a choice. Unlike last time, there is no running away. You choose, or I choose." You gulp, and Sam moves to hold your hand.

"The first is an inter-dermal seal of cis-1, 4-polyisoprene"
Your eyes bug out. "A wha-?" Before you can ask, she continues.
"The second is quarantine via subcutaneous transference."
You recognize that one from before, and it makes just as much (or as little) sense as before too.
"Finally is a nanite-bonded 6-al, 4-v security apparatus" She taps her lip thoughtfully, then decides to reveal her thoughts. "This one is rather experimental and offers a wide variety of applications ranging from commercial to military. We'd be willing to compensate you handsomely." Before you can respond she continues.
"This is what I'm willing to offer you, however should you find none of these options satisfactory, we've already recorded your desire to be released, and acknowledge the implied consent to the experiments necessary to meet that demand."
She smiles.
"Should you reject these experiments... Don't worry... We'll find an option to satisfy your request for freedom." For a chilling moment, you imagine Dr. Lybeck with the multi-rowed teeth of a shark, and you're a little fishy caught in a net... It's probably best to choose!
