Ted awakened in his cloth-free electro-mattress the same way he did every morning. A vauge gesture from his right hand was observed by the innumerable sensors surrounding him. Most dismissed it as part of his routine, unaware of the significance. Some long forgotten bit of auto-generated code had been using it as a timer.

Now he barely even awoke before the coffee was prepared with mechanical precision.
