CJACOBS: 002

[cjacobs]

Maryle and I were able to pull data from the CPU delivered by Cal and Eva.

The Sterilization Event was triggered by a significant group of people in Xitang being partially severed from the veil. 20 self-reports were evaluated by HDroids, which identified a specific defect in the neural implants. HDroids fixed the imperfections and relinked to the Veil. However, anti-Architect graffiti began to pop up around the city, indicating more people had defective implants other than the 20 self-reports.

Mass scans revealed that the entire city had spontaneously partially severed. This triggered three protocols:

1. The sterlization protocol in Xitang. We disrupted this.
   
2. Mandatory inspection check by HDroids for anyone with chips that were implanted in 2005 is currently ongoing.
   
3. A relocation effort of all defective implants to Sighisoara, Romania by Feb 28. This is for another sterilization protocol.

Issues

1. Do any Dislinked agents have a chip that was implanted in 2005? If so, they are going to end up being noticed as not on the radar.
   
2. How to deal with Sighisoara, Romania?

Do we fully sever the evacuees, or relink them? Being in a prolonged partial state can trigger catastrophic neural regression. Relinking them and re-integrating them into other pres cities would keep them protected.

How do we deal with our agents who had chips in 2005?

[Engineering]

Do any of you have a 2005 implant?

Hypothetically, how would we deal with someone who had their chip implanted in 2005?

[cjacobs]

That is what we need to decide. How many of us are there and what we will do. Options such as reconnecting to not look suspicious or doing nothing. We have to weigh all options.

[agueyegrey]

Reassuring!

[cjacobs]

Not my area of expertise so I am not the best person to ask what our options are.

[nishad]

I’m sorry, “reconnecting to not look suspicious”?

[cjacobs]

If they are looking, you are not connected, weird. If you are connected, maybe not so weird. Not ideal, but I am just stating options.

[nishad]

We’re not putting agents back under the veil. It can look weird.

[fbatista]

Shit. Fuck, did you?

Fraz.

[agueyegrey]

My parents insisted.

Fraz.

[fbatista]

Fuck.

Need anything? Anything I can do?

Fraz.

[agueyegrey]

If any Science nerd comes at me with a scalpel, shoot their kneecap out?

Az.

[philiip]

This you?

Piz.

[agueyegrey]

Keep them from cutting into my brain?

Piz.

[philiip]

No one's cutting into you.

Piz.

[agueyegrey]

Damn fucking right.

Az

[andcaboodle]

Was that when you got yours?

Kiz

[agueyegrey]

You tell anyone in Science and I'll kill you, but yeah.

Kiz

[andcaboodle]

I'm not a narc; I'm not going to tell anyone anything

Do you need a drink?

Nishad/Az.

[nishad]

Aldana seems to be interested in relinking them to the veil. […] Which feels like an insane proposal.

Ashad.

[agueyegrey]

Well I won't be fucking doing that.

Ashad.

[nishad]

Try not to panic until after they’ve sorted out what the options are. […] The point is to protect you, not to let you get fucked up.

Ashad.

[agueyegrey]

Not panicking. Just setting my boundaries.

Az If.

[griiff]

Hey. We won't let anything happen to you.

Az If.

[agueyegrey]

Good. Thank you.

Az If.

[griiff]

Want some company?
