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?

That's going to be a tall order, but I think I can manage it as long as you keep your mouth shut when I hold you tighter than usual.

It's been a long week. Who knows where your head is at.

[...] Talk to me. It might help.

Discoveries like this one, where our limitations are really underscored, just remind me how fragile of a movement we are. That's all.

[...] And I know you hated how we insisted on an escort to Spain, but I'm thankful you let us get our way. I just hope there's something in the research you can use.

We were always the longshot, but we're making ground. Discoveries like this prove that. And we wouldn't have gotten that without your cell. As pessimistic as I often am, I am not about this.

[...] I apologize. I know you were all concerned, but I didn't want to put you in an even more uncomfortable position. And I did. [...] But there is something in there that I hadn't remembered that might actually help reduce the risks by 1 to 2% each.

Wait. This is excellent news, Adri.

If it works. I need to run the models, see if it trips anything it shouldn't, but [...] yes. It's tentatively a good thing.
