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?

Comments

[foundlostfound]

So we have to go get them.

[cjacobs]

Maybe. We have to make education decisions.

[foundlostfound]

I don’t know. It’s a fairly clear situation.

[cjacobs]

We can either put them back under the veil. Or unveil them completely. We cannot, resource-wise, accommodate a mass influx of new people into our cities. We would need more planning time than we currently have.

[foundlostfound]

Then let’s plan faster.

[cjacobs]

Well, I got the information today and posted it as soon as possible. Not like I sat on the information. So we can only plan as fast as humans possibly can.

[foundlostfound]

Yeah. I know.
If those are really our only choices right now they absolutely should be unVeiled. But if there’s at least any education or guidance we could drop that could keep them from being immediate targets.

[cjacobs]

Unveiled means missing and no death on record, which leads to an immediate target.

[foundlostfound]

Then I guess I mean sitting ducks

[cjacobs]

We can see what we can do with the best safety option for all involved.

[foundlostfound]

As long as that doesn’t mean just talking before deciding we don’t want to risk anything

[finotti]

I agree. We can't let them all be sterilized

[foundlostfound]

That’s just code for killed, isn’t it.

[finotti]

Yep. Reminds me of "released" in The Giver

[foundlostfound]

Like they’re in some way cleaning up. And they can’t even say it. I hate that.
I remember that book again, though.

[finotti]

Saying it would go against their message that this is good for us

I hadn't really thought about books you would've forgotten when beiled

[foundlostfound]

Well, obviously. I still hate that.
Yeah. It’s a lot. Movies and music too. Lucky I was an asshole kid who consumed media I didn’t understand or I wouldn’t have known any of it.

[finotti]

Yeah. Maybe we should stop using their terms

Was that an information overload when you unveiled?

[foundlostfound]

We should absolutely call things what they are, here in reality.

Yeah. Really loud few days. [...] But worth it.

[finotti]

Mass killing

Yeah, definitely worth it

[foundlostfound]

Mass murder, even.

I guess that doesn’t feel much better to say.

[cjacobs]

We don't have to leave them unlinked and at risk of sterilization. We could relink them for the scans.

[finotti]

Then what?

[cjacobs]

Sever the link or keep them veiled. They may be safer veiled. But if we link temporarily, we can sever it again. But this is all down to feasibility and resources. Not my area. I keep the ship in the sky and cloaked.

[chemveil]

This is what we need to do. Relinking is the safest.
