There's a catch...

You reach for your clothes, but the doctor stops you. "Oh, no need," she says. "You can stay in the gown for now and we'll return your clothes to you after the testing." You pause, unsure of her meaning. "Testing...?" you ask.

"You chose the free option in your application, right?"

"...yeah." You didn't remember seeing another option on the site. Maybe you should have read those terms a little more closely.

"Well we offer the free version as a sort of trial program and a way to help us test some of the more... **** options the implant offers. Think of it like a research study, or a focus group." Your heart drops. You REALLY should have read those terms. Hesitatingly, you respond. "E-****?"

"Exactly. That's an additional benefit to you, actually. Technically you'll have a more advanced version of the device than people who paid for the version that we've finished testing."

Your heart, in the pit of your stomach, starts pounding, waiting to hear what exactly they have in store for you.
