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?

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.

My implant failed more than a decade ago. There’s not much I can do about turning off my worry for you.

Counterpoint, I'm totally fine so there's nothing to worry about.

I’m only a little stupid, remember? Not stupid enough to believe that.

I know you "don't need anything" and "it's fine," but if you change your mind, I'm around. I won't even mention it again if you do cave.

Maybe, but [...] I'd rather worry more than you need than as little as you pretend like you need.

Not with how adamant you are on refusing it. You would never allow enough to kill.
