Enough for your body to learn it. Not so much I can't shut it off. The straps hold your arms down in case they stop listening to you. Say the word and I stop.

He checks the trace under one final exposure, then removes the pads.* [#complete_quest] Memory's fine. Hands work. Looks like it stuck. You're cleared. Wesley: The CELL stays here.
