[jumpthegun]

Good morning, everyone. I told a number of people I would share the results of my conversation with the Admin, Eve, regarding her ability to correct 'mental imbalances' that might lead to violent impulses. I thought it best to provide what information I got from her with the whole group.

[This conversation is copied over for everyone.]

The upshot of that:

• Eve can 'fine tune' the nanites in our brains for a particular purpose. This will have no effect on MN poisoning symptoms except to make people not care about them.
  
• Use of the treatment requires patient consent. That's non-negotiable given the requirements for a declaration of mental incompetency under the NIMA system.
  
• While the fine tuning is considered an ethical treatment in extreme cases of violent psychopathy, it is considered unethical to try to treat MN Poisoning.
  
• We may be able to alleviate some of the worst instances of MN Poisoning with blood transfusions. I'm presently looking for the equipment I'd need to do that.
  
• Eve was born in Washington D.C. and used to work for the U.S. government.

As an additional note on medical supplies: I've informed the other doctors, but for those newly arrived and those seeking medical assistance, we are beginning to run low on certain medication types.

[Another conversation is copied over.]

The relative medical stocks stand as such:

• Low-grade Painkillers: Low
  
• Mid-grade Painkillers: Acceptable, restock requested
  
• High-grade Painkillers: Acceptable
  
• Specialized Medication: Acceptable
  
• Radiation Medication: Critically low

I've also been previously informed that the emergency medical response injections are out and will take 200 days to restock. That was at a point that would put us past the projected end of this session... or whatever we're calling out time here.

The discussion about the 'sessions' happens in this post. But I'm new, too, so I might've missed details.

[jumpthegun]

I wasn't here for the messages, either, but there's also this.

[John sends along another link.]

I'm sure she's terminated at least one session.

[perfero]

[Siiigh.]

I don't understand her reasoning at all.

[jumpthegun]

It looks like people started going insane beyond the point that she could stop them. We had a video of a former resident having her life taken after something went wrong with their NIMA treatment. Or at least the timing seemed to coincide with the treatment.

The Admin might have terminated the session if the sort of erratic behavior that resulted in that former resident's death started asserting itself in the people here.

[perfero]

There's no guarantee that would happen with us.

[jumpthegun]

No, there isn't. But I think we need to look at the very real possibility that something like that may occur. We're going to try to stop it and get out before it happens, of course. This just gives us some added impetus to pull together and move forward as quick as we can.

[perfero]

Do you think it will be enough to get everyone to work together?

[jumpthegun]

I hope so.

[That's really the best answer they have.]

[perfero]

Thank you, I'll read this over.
