Ep 8. The First Merge

Recruits respond differently to their first union, ecstasy and agony wrapping around souls and bodies within the heart of a machine. New sensations dancing with the imminent threat of death, a rush that gets the heart pumping and straining. When you're one of the few around that haven't experienced a merge, it's easy to get the wrong idea about it. And if you get too excited, things can get explosive. But the first time can't be avoided, no matter how frightening it may seem.
