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?

I doubt I'm of much use to this effort until they turn their sights on Romania, I'll gladly play valet while you save the day.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

I assume you'll head down for that too?

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

If I was in Bishop's good books and a better mental state I wouldn't even have to wonder.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

I can go hit on Bishop for you.

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

I can seduce! I can be seductive!

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

I'm better at it.

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

When was the last time you successfully employed your feminine wiles?

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

On purpose or on accident?

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

Intentionally, however, now I'd like to know both.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

Intentionally, like [.......] a year ago, but not because of failures, because of lack of attempts.

Unintentionally, within the past few months I suspect.

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

A year ago? Who?

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

Wow, nosy.

Just someone temporarily on the ship, so I had to work fast.

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

It's in my nature, I'm incorrigible, etc. I'd like more details, please.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

You're really the worst. I don't think people tell you that enough.

Someone from Espionage was up for [...] something, who knows. It didn't matter to me. Still doesn't. I knew they had a flask on them, and also they were attractive, and also sometimes there's an itch despite my usual issue with touch.

Tactically applied flattery but mostly honesty because, of course, Espionage. A little bit of push and pull because everyone likes that and I wanted to properly lock this in. Started work late day one, payoff by early day three. And I got to keep their flask. Hopefully they never return.

Confidence work, need, convenience, a theft; a memento. And a functional one at that! Beautiful work, Dr. Bone.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

Thank you, thank you. I think I could have done well as a spy.

Any particularly impressive work on your side?

And thank you for the distraction.

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

You certainly do possess some of the necessary traits.

And yes, of course, distraction is what I do best. And yes, I believe there has been.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

Chief of which is being a nightmare of a person.

I'd like more details, please.

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

* The ability to determine someone's limits.

A [...] rather hands-off affair that I wouldn't be so callous as to call one-sided.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

I suppose we could go with that.

[....]

Is it hands-off because it's not entirely one-sided?

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

I wouldn't discount that as a possibility.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

What do you think the other contributing factors are?

Things are different now, with you here.

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

[...] I assumed I'd take more readily to the free will and stability being stationed here affords, but I've found it difficult.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

Sometimes I feel like my mind is still catching up to that fact too. It's [...] scary? I don't know. But I hope it settles into yours soon.

Do you want to talk about this hands-off situation?

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

Risk was easier to assess when lives were on the line, which I suppose is scary, in a way.

Mi vida, you won't be able to take back what you learn if we do.
