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?

Do any of you have a 2005 implant?

Comments

[reidings]

In this instance, 2006 is a good year.

[jaxsons]

Might be the only instance, really.

[reidings]

Agree, it wasn't a good year by any means.

[jaxsons]

I'm assuming you're including yourself in the good year, since I don't remember you mentioning yours is pre-Fall.

[reidings]

Yes, my family didn't get implanted until after the Fall. Got rounded up and everything.

[jaxsons]

Just fond memories that year.

[reidings]

That's exactly how I would describe them.

[jaxsons]

I never understood the concept of real defeat until then. Stuck in Frankfort burning for days, on my knees in front of droids when they finally pinned us down, the implant. Losing Pau Hopefully I'll never know that feeling again, if we keep doing this the right way.

[reidings]

It was like growing up and becoming a robot at the same time, for me. I hope you never have to experience anything like that again, I do feel like we've been making progress the last few weeks. I think nobody will experience things like that if anyone can help it.

[jaxsons]

We're going to save these people, and there's no other alternative.

[reidings]

We will, I don't doubt it.

Jameson

[jaxsons]

I would've added "or die trying", but I get the feeling that'd set off a couple people, you included.

Jameson

[reidings]

[...] I'd like to not lose you.

Jameson

[jaxsons]

You won't, J.

Jameson

[reidings]

I understand we're all here because we want to save people and dying isn't some imaginary possibility, so I do sometimes get worried about it. Even if I try not to.

Jameson

[jaxsons]

At least we're not Battlest. Our chances are better.

Jameson

[reidings]

I'll try to focus on that.

Jameson

[jaxsons]

But still, be careful when you go down next week.

Jameson

[reidings]

I'm always careful. You know that.

Jameson

[jaxsons]

Be more careful. What am I supposed to do if you get into a fight with a sea lion?

Jameson

[reidings]

Have you ever looked at me and thought "he wants to fight a sea lion"?.

Jameson

[jaxsons]

Maybe you look at it wrong.

Jameson

[reidings]

So you're imagining me giving a sea lion an intimidating look? I think in that case it might not be my fault.

Jameson

[jaxsons]

It'd be a little your fault.

Jameson

[reidings]

Fine, I'll just close my eyes around any wildlife. Is that better?
