Greetings, members of the IRG. I come to you with a request, possibly beneficial to both you and me. I have heard of your foundation's extraordinary scientific capabilities, and I believe that your people are the only ones who can help me better understand my...'condition'. I'll get straight to the point.
Inside my brain is a strange micro-chip, about a centimeter in volume. It has caused me quite a bit of trouble recently, despite it also granting me enhanced tasking abilities. I could tell you more about where it came from, but that's actually my problem; I have zero idea as to where the chip came from, and why I of all people have it inside my head. The reason for this is retrograde amnesia, which a few scientists I've spoken to believe the chip is the cause.
I could just remove it, but that is also a big problem. It is extremely deep inside my brain, smack within the cerebral cortex. Top surgeons claim they can't reliably examine it or remove it, as it is just too dangerous to get to. One of them gave me a 50/50 chance of survival if surgical removal were to take place.
I simply ignored it for a while, as flawless multitasking is quite a useful perk to have. However, recently, it has begun to cause issues. For one, things like Neutron Stars cause me to fall unconscious if I'm within visible range. I also hear buzzing in my left ear, frequent surges of hyperactivity, chronic seizures, and other dangerous ailments. It is my top priority to have this situation dealt with, and your group is the only people I thought would help me.
Please forgive me if I sound rude or arrogant, I'm under massive stress from this damn thing and it's hard to stay calm and collected. Please get back to me ASAP, as this is becoming unbearable.
