Rick slowly opened his eyes, feeling a heaviness in his body as if he couldn't move a single muscle. It seemed like he was inside some sort of capsule or unclear device. Suddenly, he heard a strange voice speaking inside his mind.

The voice said:

"Welcome back, sir. Finally, you've awakened. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Rick wondered to himself:

"Who are you? Where am I? Why can't I speak or move? And why does it feel like I can't remember anything about my life? Was my memory erased?"

The voice answered:

"I will answer all your questions, sir, don't worry. The reason you can't move is because the substance that kept you asleep is still in your system, and it will fade away within minutes. After that, I'll explain everything."

Rick replied:

"Alright, but this is a strange feeling. I want to feel nervous, but I can't."

The voice calmly said:

"You will know everything soon, sir."
