inside HIV | The neural interface
Upon completion of this module, the incumbent will be familiar with the main benefits of HIV employment and general housekeeping commitments.
There is no experience quite like the HIV experience. You are about to embark on a journey of change and excitement that we feel is unmatched in the corporate world.
At HIV, we like to believe that the rewards of HIV employment go far beyond the mere financial. HIV’s unique technical capabilities are the foundation of our success, but so are our people. HIV recruits only the most outstanding candidates, and we expect commitment and excellence from all our staff. However, the relationship is not simply one-sided. Three elements – HIV, our people, and our interface technology – form a mutually beneficial network that you will now have access to.
As mentioned in your Introduction, HIV is the world leader of digital communication. At the heart of this fact exists the Gemini technology, a unique and highly sophisticated communications structure that we feel has evolved the very definition of security. As an employee of HIV, you will develop an intimate relationship with Gemini through ongoing use of our interface technology, which has been specifically designed to grant control over Gemini. Far from simply learning to use this system in your role as an employee, you will develop an intimate relationship with Gemini that will provide you with measurable neurological benefits. Every experienced Gemini user has experienced lasting improvements in short term and long term memory, as well as pattern identification over an increased range, particularly involving sound. Repeated testing has proven that Gemini interfacing has invariably positive effects on the functioning of the human nervous system.
Utilising a unique form of auditory access, Gemini is able to impress levels of complexity typically beyond the scale of human comprehension, allowing exceptional efficiency in the realm of digital storage and transfer. The scale of the software is at this point irrelevant; suffice it to say that, once familiar with the system, such concepts are made known to the user via the interface itself. Once the connection between Gemini and the user is established, the software will begin to respond to natural rhythms and impulses in the user. Failure to control such impulses at the pre-conscious level will lead to complications in the Gemini executive functions. On account of this, all HIV staff must undertake a strict dietary regimen. In essence, the diet is designed to eliminate the cultivation of volatile appetites, in order to enhance the connection between user and system.
By limiting direct neurological interaction to specific areas of the hippocampus, Gemini users are able to avoid engaging potentially dangerous circuits that exist within areas of the limbic system, notably those engaged in addictive behaviours. Thus, any benefits garnered from the prolonged use of the Gemini interface come with a certain calm detachment, which nullifies the compulsion to overuse the device, sparing the user from any potential interdependence a direct neurochemical interaction would imply. As an aside, many trained Gemini users have reported that emotional problems they used to find unfathomable before Gemini are now able to be dealt with easily, in a calm and abstract manner.
More peripheral benefits include increased spatial awareness when not using the system. Ongoing studies show that all interface users have reported marginal increases in balance, co-ordination and prioperception, which all contribute to increased capabilities in reflex and timing, though naturally, regimes of muscle toning and strength are recommended to compliment such improvements given the sedentary postures assumed when performing depth work.
You have probably noticed on your training schedule that you have been allocated time to see our facility’s staff doctor. During that session, you will be provided with personalised feedback regarding your diet. The main dietary requirements are outlined below for your convenience; however, our doctor will provide you with detailed dietary information during your appointment. We encourage you to discuss with the doctor any concerns or questions you might have about your diet, exercise, existing medical or psychological conditions, the neural interface, or even your career path at HIV. You are required to attend ongoing scheduled sessions with our onsite physician. During these sessions, the doctor will monitor adherence to dietary requirements and occasionally test your neural functions. Your attendance at ongoing scheduled sessions with our staff physician is mandatory.
Though the thought of a neural interface may at this point seem daunting, understand that the Gemini interface has been perfected over the course of three decades, with the only ‘side-effect’ recorded, distinct improvement in every field of mental acuity. In truth, we at HIV truly believe there exists nothing on Earth to this day that has a more positive influence on the human brain than interaction with the Gemini software.
Over the course of the next few weeks you will run a series of training modules designed to attune you to the nuances of the system. Keep in mind that any changes you note in sleeping patterns, attention span and general mental fatigue will normalise in roughly ten days, after which you will begin a new regime of improvement in overall mental efficiency. Meanwhile, as your training continues, specialists will be monitoring your interactions with Gemini with the goal of intuiting your own career path within the HIV community, allowing us to tailor your software in order to maximise your career potential.
Dietary requirements
All agents are to refrain from consumption of the following substances: alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, sugar, prescription drugs* and illegal narcotics. Processed foods should be avoided, especially dairy and yeast products. (This is an optional requirement. We have recorded increased stamina in staff members who eliminated processed foods entirely.) Please consult the onsite physician before undertaking any dietary or exercise programs.
* If you are taking prescription drugs for an existing medical condition, consultation with the staff doctor is imperative.
