This has already been approved by Verin and leadership. This is not a debate on if we should. It is a debate on how.

We will be going forward with additional experimentation to further stabilise the Neuroclast. To do this, we will be taking volunteers among those who have had an implant that is not TIF. The process will include baseline and progressive scans, temporary monitored linking to the Veil and exponentially increasing exposure to experimental Neuroclast packets while simultaneously stimulating the dorsolateral and ventrolateral PAG when disconnecting from it. The goal is to get below a 4% risk of side effects when disrupting or destroying a node.

This procedure is not without risk, and the risks include: chronic pain (headaches/migraines, shooting or radiating pain stemming from the neck down), paralysis/spastic limbs, death.

Volunteers would need to understand and accept the risks as well as undergo a thorough psychological examination. We would need 3-5 volunteers, and where to source those volunteers is the current issue at hand. My personal preference would be to take volunteers from onboard Mnemosyne. Others have suggested we take volunteers from the unVeiled cities. There is also an option for a mixture from both.

Neither sourcing is without risk. We already operate at a resource deficit, and taking agents further increases that deficit. If that volunteer is in a leadership role, we risk years of knowledge and experience. If we take from the cities, it's a security risk to bring them onboard. Propaganda will spread further of us being like the Architects in that we are choosing not to experiment from within.

We're leaving it up you all to decide how we source volunteers. Again, this will be happening, so spare me the ethics debate of experimenting on humans. If there was another way, chances are we've already tried it.

What's going on with you and Domingo? The flirting is obnoxious. Just fuck already.

Great. Then focus on your piloting.

I don’t seem. I am.

I don’t see the logic in raiding our own limited numbers when there are other unVeiled individuals who could be as keen to help as some people here have declared themselves to be.

It feels a bit weird to think of myself as more "valuable" than any of the people I know back in SB.

If it helps, think of it as different value, not more.

[...]

I'm always looking for ways to prove my value, sir, so if there is something else I can do for y for the pilots for the cause, let me know. [...] Or for you specifically! If you want. I'm open to anything.

Let's flip this around slightly.

What should I do to improve my value to you?

Even if he does, I would happily make time for that, sir. Thank you.
