"In my mind I have gone all over the universe, which may make it less important for me to make piddling little trips... I did enjoy seeing Stonehenge. It looked exactly the way I thought it would look."
- Isaac Asimov

Subcutaneous Overlay  
  An implanted chip that provides a continuous drug experience for months.  

She was named for moonlight—Aynur—and ever since she was a child, she had associated it with herself: cool and pale and of the night. It was like one of those subcutaneous underlays you could buy, flow it through your veins, and bliss out for months. One of those: A Walk in the Rain or Summer Evening. If she could figure out how to chiptune this subtle, rich feeling she sometimes sank into of being moonlight she could sell it for a fortune.
