Neurotronic Disfigurement by Directed Energy - Dystonic reaction (the fifth facial nerve) Calcium ion edema (moonface) endoplasmic reticulum of muscle cells that is sarcoplasmic reticulum.
-motor nerve excites muscle fibre/cell,
-action potential generated and moves along sarcolemma(plasma membrane of muscle cells) and reaches deeper parts
-receptor protein(DHP) senses this change and alters its conformation,
-activates RYANODINE receptors,
-these receptors release Ca+2 from sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Indis O 'Sayhad both read and "heard'the movie already in production of "The Facetaker"that Parasol Pictures"decreed" he write as a novelization... as Valerie Prentis had stated..."these days nothing "comes out" with out a "tie -in"...a book ,a "trend",a franchise a "happy meal' the Voice was "commanding"moreso than it had been when Indis had written "Let Us Be Conquered' as Indis was in fact bored with the already written already half filmed version of "The Face Taker" Indis had seen "The Facetaker" ads ..Had seen the televised Previewsbut there was no mention of it being filmed as Direct Neuralas Parasol claimed there would be The Voice assured him that The New Wayof BCI TV was experimental(and not ...for everyone) and that The Face Takerwas more about Over Preening ....like an old 1950's Hygeine or "Hi -Don't" type of "civic's lessonor something one might view in Health Class.than what it appeared to be....and to Indis "The Facetaker" appeared to simply be a rather tiresome slasher movie Direct neural Interface was in some ways Indis supposed a Horro filmto those who could not adjust toto a co -conscious mindwhich also demanded a co -conscious body according to some "gleaned: insightthere was nothing more gruesome or bothersome during Mind to Mind Synthesized Tele-"metrythan one who focused on one's ownbody..."it all but ruined" the experience... psychic driving..or steeringwas apart of co -conscious "living"Cyber-in Latin meant "to steer"to be a Cohort in the New Way of Manipulated Living was to by driven "steered" by anotherwhich required the for lack of a better term the Avatar to "Clear" themselvesof all "cumbersome thoughts" that might make "mind reading" a burden rather than an "occasion"...Indis thought for the first time of the word Mind Controland felt a dread in him...a terror and was assured by "his muse" that HIS particular Communion was SURELY mystical but Indis still had to research all mechanisms and REASONS for a solicited or g-d forbid unsolicited Mind to Mind Interface that was "mechanical,electronic" in nature how Bothersome it would have been for a Steer-er, a Tele -operator, a "mandler"to Be Inside a Human Being who fixated on his appearance why he just might miss the MARK entirely..of whatever the False but True Presence desired the Guided Soul to accomplish Indis could not help but think of things a Guided Soul might be used fora drone.a puppeta pawn....

Mannequin like.or .... GEO packaged... FACETAKER (studying a 3-d printed model of "ear') so realistic...as if she can someone's ear off and just...

Aware that FACETAKER seems ill at ease with GEO close proximity..GEO relaxes(Facetaker can never be a problem .Not with THAT face,perhaps GEO thinks and,,...stops his own fidgeting and gets closer to FACETAKER

...so when did you meet "this artist"..
who seems to specialize in ...
GEO (getting in very close to facetaker,touching his own face)oh .In my recent youth i used to hang around the right clubs...the right clubs that let in everyone who one should know ....keep right types in .keep themonsters out...A CLOSE UP on FACETAKERS hurt eyes.GEO places his hand on Facetaker's shoulder.an apology for a possible "misinterpreted" remarkFACETAKER seems "warmed by the touch" and the "fumbled' apology.. FACETAKER I would like to meet this artist friend...wendy..it seems ..she is part of the team now ..creating a 'collection " for the computer. of facial prosthetics and variations for "the nano bots" to mimic...also (FACETAKER hesitates) I would like someone ....to do something ...with this (for the first time FACETAKER seems to make eye contact with GEO and with US and WE see the true "horror" of ..his disfigurement.)with this face....I have photographs of myself from before the accident .I can computer age myself..Wendy can sculpt ...she does I assume sculpt the features ...the models of the facial parts for the 3 d computer...that or she simply "bumps off" goodlooking people to....steal their faces.. GEO (a rather loud laugh,he places his hand on FACETAKER's shoulder. Leans in close...to face takers un damaged ear.)now that would be something ...wouldn't it...(so close ..to FACETAKER's ear he bites it ,gently...and quickly swerves around grabs his coatConfused but "touched" in some way by the odd gesture of "closeness" FACETAKER watches GEO leave..there is nothing "sexual" in his gaze of GEO walking back to "his station" near the 3 --d computer. But something veering on "awe" ...GEO ,now in his coat..removes a nose from the printer.And notices a drop of blood on the "scanning tray' he spits on it an wipes away the blood...andCLOSE UP of the nose being placed in a baggie along with other noses ,ears and cheekbones..opening up a another bag filled with half eaten french fries and hamburger he places the baggfie of facial "pieces" in with the discarded food and simply tosses the lot of "it" in a wastebasket FACETAKER is back to his own work making some final adjustments to the nano imagery"of the reconfigured ..woman on the screen...FACETAKER looks over at GEO,noticably eager for GEO to leave ,GEO comes over to FACETAKER ...and leans in close,too close looking at the "diametric of the projected nano cosmetic surgery...altering the woman's face on the screen to an entirely new but still beautiful 'version" of self..

GEO
Fugly.wants you to make him
'renewed",wants you to FIX HIM.
that you craft ..."the features"..that you're an artist
WENDY
I am an artist.there is an art to this...you know..
the camera pulls away from the kitchen to reveal quite an "arty" scene in the next room...presumably the "remains" ,the faceless remains of the hot jock hockey player.. we over hear WENDY on the phone.. presumably still talking with GEO WENDY
calm down...i can easily throw some clay in my hair..
blow up some photographs...play the part...
what he doesn't know won't hurt him..
Or shall we tell him..(she opens up the oven)
guy who looks like that probably wouldn't care where
his new face came from...would you? But you're probably right ugly folks
develop all kinds of feelings don't they...to overcome their...lack of
visage don't they...you wouldn't know GEO.I had an ugly friend once...
filled with all sorts of empathy,,emotion....it was terrifying..
