As an animating vehicle, it remains unclear whether the pills function on cyborgs. They take them—much like creatures who used to receive a vaccine, a sacrament—to humanize themselves, to round out their fantastical capacity, to allow for meaning to their malleable reality. To develop a consolidating consciousness to their existence. 

The pills are given to cyborgs three times a day. The pills are given to cyborgs when they rehearse headaches, and the intensity of this rehearsal swells their titanium prostheses and joints. The pills are used to bring them closer to biological experience, which is techno-type, since it’s well known that the pharmaceutical industry wants to control the illogical propensity for deviation, delirium and, in certain cases, the imitation of a stubborn ovary.

Sometimes, the newest cyborgs are manipulated with sugarcoating techniques so as not to scare them off, suddenly, when being informed that they are not what you’d call organic or of any natural species, nor transspecies, although they are special and transspatial, and that they shouldn’t worry, they won’t feel pain today or ever unless it’s hypochondriac pain, which in itself is a sub-cyborg symptom for which hippocampal research is just beginning, in the field of the hypothetical laboratory, but ethical? What’s that? 

Cyborgs have sensors but lack sensations, which, in itself, is not sensational; it only results from the Senso-sans-sensa™ guarantee. The organization for the partial recovery of Homo Sensorium promotes, if not mandates, the consumption of pills to awaken phantom sensations—drugs like cyclosporine for smell, gabapentin for touch, xocova for taste, otic dexamethasone for hearing, and Vuity and Qlosi for seeing (after all, they have two eyes) (like us). Developing the sense of intuition is where the greatest challenge lies and, consequently, requires the highest dose of whatever is necessary to make the cyborg believe it possesses the skill for this sixth speed packaged in various synonyms as he/she/it must know, namely: feeling; perspicacity; vision; hunch; inkling; impression; clairvoyance; premonition; allusion; i gotta feeling. The programming for advanced cyborgs will include die Vorahnung, die Ahnung, das Vorgenfühl, and das Gefühl, which they’ll learn to use according to the moment and momentum of both location and pronunciation.

As time passes, currently marked by am and pm doses, the cyborg will become more susceptible to believing herself/himself/itself a free entity. She/He/It aspires to be able to doubt, attempt, suffer. It will be the pills that cure or alleviate those cable blues that anchor cyborg and force cyborg to act according to a supposed manual.
