veilbreak | CJACOBS: 002

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:

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

Issues

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.
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?

It’s good to have a heads up on terrible things headed our way.

It is. And this time we actually have a bit of a time buffer. Hallelujah.

We would have been completely fucked without one. […] The options are so limited.

I'm not looking forward to getting into the argument.

You could take a backseat to the arguing if you want to.

I have strong opinions, so if it's going the opposite way of what I think, I can't just be quiet.

I figured. What do you think?

We reVeil them.

Continue. Please.

We can't manage the influx of people right now. It's safer for them to get reVeiled, it's safer for us. Get them back under the radar and keep moving forward with the work we're currently doing.

I think it’s harder to argue against that knowing that those people would have a ‘hit out on them’ if they’re not reintegrated into the Veil.

[…] As long as we’re not lumping our agents into this category.

It doesn't include them. That's a whole other issue and I'm not sure what's right there.

Neither am I. […] But those figuring it out are smarter than I am. Not smarter than you, but I think you’re allowed to take a break before you dive back in.

You're only kind of stupid.

I know. I just don't want to not say my piece.

That’s glowing praise coming from you.

You don’t have to say it right now to say it. […] You can also say it and then take a break from the conversation if you need to.
