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.

But looking at how many pilots are already volunteering themselves, I want Dislinked volunteers to be banned outright.

Adri, I can't imagine the kind of pressure you're under with this work. And announcing it like this positions you as the primary person to absorb everyone's concerns and opposing opinions -- I wouldn't be able to handle it with the half the
grarestraint you've shown. But there are going to be opposing opinions, and when it comes from me, it's not because I don't trust you. And it won't be because Niko doesn't trust you.You're probably going to lock yourself in your office now. If that's what you need to do, fine.
But I hate it when you withdraw whenever we disJust stop calling yourself heartless. A heartless man wouldn't give a shit whether or not the Neuroclast injured half the population it was meant to help.Adrip - an hour later.
But that you and Niko both assume that any success I have is going to come with abject failures, that your reasonings are that it's inconvenient for it to be the very damned people who have volunteered their lives already, positioning me to have to take a stand on whose lives are more important when you both damned well should know I don't want to do this on anyone, feels like a fucking slap in the face.
Adrip.
I know you don't want to do this on anyone.
