It engulfed him totally, causing his skin to tingle all over. His eyes were closed but he could feel himself moving along the conveyor belt to the next phase: dyers. Warm air surrounded him and the gel hardened. He was moving again and then stopped at phase three: de-casing. He felt a soft tapping on top of his head, then heard a loud crack and the gel fell off of him and into the openings in the floor that immediately closed as soon as the conveyor belt started moving again. Phase four was Misting. He was lightly sprayed with water to remove any excess gel that could be stuck to him. Onto phase five, which was a second drying, and then onto Phase six: clothing.

He saw the man who was desperately trying to keep this civilization from crumbling. He fixed his collar just as a beep resounded into the desolate room. Walking over to the bedside table he picked up his view-phone opened it.
