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:

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

Noldana.

[adrii]

Wonderful.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Would you believe I'm oddly calm about this?

Noldana.

[adrii]

Actually, yes. I can believe that.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

There's no sense in worrying about it. It'll get sorted out.

Noldana.

[adrii]

It will.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Though I'd prefer not to go back under if at all possible. I can't abide being boring.

Noldana.

[adrii]

You already are and you abide it just fine.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

You're losing your touch. That's too obviously untrue to work on me.

Noldana.

[adrii]

I'm allowed off days.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Tell me what's on your mind.

Noldana.

[adrii]

It's irrelevant to the issue at hand.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

And of course, I'm only interested insofar as it pertains to this particular matter. Everything else is irrelevant.

Noldana.

[adrii]

Glad we're on the same page.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Adri, just tell me.

Noldana.

[adrii]

There are a thousand things on my mind at all times, Niko.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Give me the top five.

Noldana.

[adrii]

1. Eva.
2. Alba.
3. Philip.
4. Neuropeptide Y.
5. You.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

I do need you to be a little more specific.

Noldana.

[adrii]

You asked for the top 5.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Now I'm asking for the specifics. Don't be difficult.

Noldana.

[adrii]

I'm not being difficult. I answered the question.

Which number do you want specifics on.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

All five, obviously. What sort of question is that?

Noldana.

[adrii]

Unfortunate. You get one.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Give me all five and I will [...] answer five questions honestly.

Noldana.

[adrii]

Fine.

Eva didn't really speak with Alba the entire time we were there, and though she hasn't stated it outright, I know going there was painful for her. Additonally, she is finally starting to speak to me about her feelings about when I left, and the guilt I still hold for that is immense. I could have figured something out, but I had already destroyed Alba. I didn't want to destroy her, as well.

What do you want to happen with Domingo?
