Miyuki had undertaken high-speed pursuit of a criminal, with Natsumi riding shotgun.

"Your driving is perfect," Natsumi said. "It's like you're one with this car."

"Actually," Miyuki said, "I am, now." She held up her hair to reveal a thick cable that was directly implanted at the base of her skull.

"OH MY GOD!!" Natsumi shrieked.

"We must also assimilate you," a dead-eyed Miyuki said. Dozens of robotic tendrils suddenly wrapped themselves around Natsumi.

Natsumi screamed in sheer terror.

Natsumi woke up with a gasp.

Okay, she thought, it's time to discuss the ethics of advanced automotive engineering with Miyuki.
