"Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies"


In the Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies the researchers are both humans and robots. The robots scan his brain's activity and monitor his movements, then the human researches come in and determine weather his is mentally ill or not. They dress in full head and body suits that are all white, and the robots are small machines like the size of tarantulas that crawl on the top of his head and send the signals from his brain to the main computer, which looks like projected images on a large glass table. The room they put Leonard in is a room with a super strong but flexible fiber covering the walls called duraplastic, with one small rusted bed frame and a dusty mattress on top. The walls are covered in carvings with strange symbols from the patients before him. Also there is a medium sized chair with a simple pattern on its surface. There is one small barred window that is extremely high up to the point where no one could reach it. The air in the room is dingy and stuffy, and it is so quite Leonard can hear his own heartbeat. The center feels cold and empty like the street he walked on every night.
