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?

Do any of you have a 2005 implant?

[...] I see. The joys of being an early adopter never cease.

niko.

[loculus]

I'd like to believe that isn't historical confirmation.

[oneirophrenic]

Lucky me, holding out for years despite all the rapturous praise from my coworkers, clients, and favorite aesthetician.

[loculus]

Would you like something witty or sentimental in reply?

dominiko.

[oneirophrenic]

Let's have the witty reply.

[cjacobs]

I am glad my tendency to focus and not do anything, but my work, paid off here and caused my delay.

[oneirophrenic]

Yes, job well done.

Niko

[agueyegrey]

You too?

Aziko.

[oneirophrenic]

What do you mean 'you too?' Were you even old enough to get one?

Aziko.

[agueyegrey]

I was 17. [...]How old do you think I am?

Aziko.

[oneirophrenic]

Mid 30s. [...] But yes, it seems our height isn't the only thing we have in common.

[iyla]

i’ve never been overeager, but my parents were.

[oneirophrenic]

I still can't believe those under 18 were even allowed to be chipped. I can, considering everything, but I don't know how it was allowed.

[iyla]

it was an easy sell. “tired of your child’s tantrums?” “with the neural implant, your teen will slide right through puberty without all the overwrought emotions” “no more fights over the dinner table, just family fun from here on out!”

[oneirophrenic]

Parenting includes ups and downs. That's the nature of it. It seems absurd to cheat your way to peaceable children, but what do I know.

[witlessbay]

same, but living in the middle of nowhere helped slow things down

[iyla]

how much?

[witlessbay]

not 2005

Noldana.

[adrii]

I thought yours was 2004?

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

No, unfortunately. 2005, right after a promotion as a little gift to myself.

Noldana.

[adrii]

Wonderful.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Would you believe I'm oddly calm about this?

[jaxsons]

Fuck, Niko.

[oneirophrenic]

Don't worry your handsome little face over me, Jackson.

[jaxsons]

My handsome little face does what it wants, thanks. How early?
