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?

Comments

[adrii]

Exactly. We'll need Espio's heads to weigh in, but this might be our best option for agents.

[iyla]

fingers crossed. i’m not eager to take another foray under the veil.

[adrii]

Can't imagine anyone would be. In the meantime, I'll begin compiling a list of known implants from 2005.

[iyla]

well, you know how to spell my name.

[finotti]

You?

[iyla]

my parents were very pro. we all got them that year.

boy

[finotti]

How are you feeling about this news then?

boy

[iyla]

i’m trying not to worry before i need to. […] there’s cause for alarm, but not panic. if our deaths can be faked, we won’t have a problem. if my parents are able to be ‘fixed,’ they won’t be sent off for ‘sterilization.’ and if they are, we’ll have a plan to stop it by then.

boy

[finotti]

That's very reasonable

boy

[iyla]

ask me again in a few hours.

boy

[finotti]

When we have more of a plan or when you've had more time to process it?

boy

[iyla]

why not both?

boy

[finotti]

Greedy, but you can have both

boy

[iyla]

good. i’m not really in a settling mood.

Aldanas

[adequacies]

Don’t forget to put me on it.

Aldanas

[adrii]

I already did, mija. I haven't been this furious about what your mamá did since she first did it.

Aldanas

[adequacies]

[…] why It was the inevitable outcome.

Aldanas

[adrii]

No, it wasn't. If she had listened to me in the first place, I could have taken you with me.

Aldanas

[adequacies]

Papá, you had to know the moment you left she was going to do it.

Aldanas

[adrii]

She promi

I suppose I had more faith in her than I should have.

Aldanas

[adequacies]

It’s normal to want to believe the best of those we love.

Aldanas

[adrii]

Yes, but this belief put you in a situation that was not of your choosing. The agreement was you could choose when you were old enough. And I recognize that after the Fall, that choice would have been taken from you, but it shouldn't have been taken from you by your mother.

Aldanas

[adequacies]

Why did you just take me with you?

Aldanas

[adrii]

[...] I couldn't take you from her. In all of her mistakes, you have always been the light of her life, mija, and I couldn't bear to darken her world more. And the lab, everything we were doing: it wasn't a place for a child. I worked 18 hour days. It would have been cruel to take you from her only to not have either of us.

Aldanas

[adequacies]

I didn’t have either of you regardless.

[…] I was there for years, well past the point of being a child.
