"Next in line, please." the receptionist shouted.
"Finally it's our turn!" the lady with an umbrella said.
"Relax! You're too excited, they might as well make you sit down for a while." warned the boy as they enter the store.
Inside the department store are bleachers arranged to accommodate fifty people in five rows. Ten doors are were arranged upfront and someone enters but no one leaves.
"We've been sitting here for a while now, but I haven't seen anyone leaving those rooms, " the boy observed.
"Maybe there is a back door somewhere and it's a set up where we don't have to worry about bumping on the others, or cramping up space. Anyway, what kind of department store does not have a product sample?" the girl added.
"Do you think we can even pick the design?" the boy raised.
This particular trait of the boy always peaked the girl's attention. She always has to guess what the boy meant when he questions things like a woman. Of course, he didn't ask this just for the sake of asking. Nowadays everyone is wearing headgear in their daily life, that is why individuals try their best to modify the looks of their own.
While the two are discussing the possible customization of their equipment, an employee approached them and handed some forms.
"Please fill-up these forms," the receptionist said.

A standard questionnaire for a medical record update was issued to the two applicants.
Reading the form, the girl said: "Excuse me, but we are here for an upgrade, not an update."
"Ohh... My apologies, please take these as well then." handing another set of datasheets.

"Thank you, so after filling up these documents, what should be our next step?" interjected the boy before the girl could speak.
"Yes. The first document would be for your medical record and the other is a consent form for the data extraction from your headgears. As for the next step, you will be called to enter one of these rooms." the host said. While handing out some number tabs.

After filling up the forms the two submitted their number tabs to the nurses standing behind the reception.
"Mr.Sai pleas head to room 8, thank-you." one of the aids said. Pointing to a door near the edge of the room.
"Ms. Izen, Please head to room 10." gesture the aid to the door at the edge of the room.
"See you on the other side." chided Sai. As he enters the clinic.
"If you make it out alive." teased Izen, knowing that Sai is afraid of needles, and with a big smile on her face she enters her designated cabin.
The testing room is filled with medical equipment to measure the vital sign of the client, treadmill, weight lifting equipment, eye testing equipment, lucky dice table, and some warped images leading to a door at the far back.
"Please take off your clothes, underwear, and accessories place them on this basket, then stand on the platform." the male nurse instructed Sai as he closes the blinds.
Sai removes his clothes and watch, then stands on the platform, where a cylindrical enclosure was slowly lowered from the top.
After the section was firmly set on the platform, a musical voice announced ' Body statistical scan commence' along with written words flashing on the glass cage. Cameras took photos of the naked Sai, laser light from the ceiling, and the wall was projected on his body, and a little electric shock came from the pad of his foot.

After the data was recorded, four pipes with four sprinklers each we're lowered form the ceiling, then a full body was was performed. Subsequently the pipes we're retracted, and warm air was blown from above, removing the exes moisture. Finally, the glass containment was lifted.
A cart was pushed from behind the curtain, on the cart was a basket with a pair of white garments; shirt and boxers, which fits him perfectly like pajamas.
"Proceed to the treadmill." the male custodian commanded while withdrawing the binds.
In front of the treadmill stood two aides holding a tablet and a stylus, looking at the screen just beside the mill.
"Please wear this" Seeing as another patient approaches, one of the assistants said while handing out a pair of gloves and socks with wires attached.
"Drink this serum! For this test we will be assessing your muscular control, body metabolic rate, and stamina." the one with a tablet explained giving a glass of strange liquid to Sai, while the other was attaching a pair of electrodes on his joints.
"Wear this helmet. This is used to record your brain activity while doing this exercise, any unnecessary thoughts would reflect on the data. So please try your best to concentrate on the image on the screen." the tablet guy said passing the gear then connecting the cables on a suspended wire on the side.
"Alright, we're all set. Step on the pane if you are ready, the mill will speedup every 3 minutes. There is a five-speed benchmark and on the final stretch a fifteen-minute run. Press the red button if you think you can not continue. Do not worry, the system will monitor your vitals and set the velocity to your comfort for the endurance test." described the lineman.
Sai stepped on the mill and begone the testing.
Mark 1 -- 2 --...-- 5.
[Comfort speed 'Mark 3', you can go one level higher, would you like to run the higher speed for the Endurance test?] the system prompted.
After which Sai responded, "Yes. Set Endurance test speed to Mark 4."
This is not the first time that someone has chosen this function, but not all were able to finish the run, most of which were terminated by the system because of the erratic vital reading. Fortunately, Sai was able to finish this round although he was out of breath by the last minute, and the system warning for termination was blinking on the control panel.
