[b][u]Brilliance 3.2 [i](9)[/i][/u][/b] Primary Text: [None] Secondary Text: Owl Sector Internal, OS-I6 9 RAM: Promising notes from Berriole. Mid-experiment, this Dr. Shirazi changes course. Her logs describe the development of a cure. A complicated, lengthy, but noninvasive cure. QUI: So what's the hitch? Where’s Shun? RAM: We tried it. Didn't work. The Hidden are working on it now. QUI: And? RAM: They said they were close. Then they muttered about unit conversion, physiological changes post-Collapse, and diminished chances of survival. QUI: When will they be ready? RAM: Soon. [b]Owl Sector is unsuccessful at replicating Dr. Shirazi's cure formula and hands over the information to the Hidden. Very little information is gleamed from this entry.[/b] [b][u]Fortitude 3.1 [i](9)[/i][/u][/b] Primary Text: [None] Secondary Text: Report of Geographer Quist, OS-I6 9, for Owl Sector, on TRANSMISSION. [i]Z. SHIRAZI CB-PZ-12.4 Even if I cure him, would he speak to me again? I've never run an experiment with lethal outcomes or permanent disabilities. I never thought I would.[/i] [b]Shirazi is placed in an incredibly dangerous position. She may kill her patient, then again, he will die regardless. An easy choice for myself, but for one who had yet to hold another's life in her hands ... she is handling it surprisingly well.[/b] If they don't kill you with whatever mess of poisons they're mixing up, Shun, I will. I've never slept so little in my life. [b]Quist continues to agonize over his friend.[/b] [b][u]Glory 2.1 [i](9)[/i][/u][/b] Primary Text: [None] Secondary Text: Owl Sector Debrief to Ikora Rey, OS-I6 9 [i]Z. SHIRAZI CB-PZ-11.5 I said: Forgive me. He said: Only if.[/i] [b]Jun tells Dr. Shirazi that he will only forgive her if he is saved.[/b] RAM: The Hidden, the Witches, and our research corps may have had a breakthrough, using the information that Berriole has unearthed. We think we can neutralize this mite. The only problem is, we might kill Shun in the process. IR: Are you waiting for permission? RAM: It seemed respectful to ask. [b]Why would the Owl Sector feel the need to be 'respectful' to Ikora? Did Ramos know that Ikora and Shun had a personal relationship? He must then know the cause of the dissolution of this relationship to believe that Ikora's choice was important... or this may simply be because she is the Vanguard Representative ...[/b] IR: Do it, and the Traveler's Light shine on you. [b]Some may ... well ... many would feel that Ikora's speed to make this decision would show her uncaring towards Shun. However, this is the most practical approach. Ikora has seen, via Owl Sector, the Dr. Shirazi's patients have died through exposure to her experiments. She would have assumed that there is a high probability that Shun would also be killed. The cure, however, shows a higher probability of success. Thus, she chooses to place Shun's life in the hands of those, more capable then hers. Also, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few; The population of the City yet remains vulnerable, and if Shun must be sacrificed to save the City, the decision remains the best choice[/b]. [b][u]Magnificence 2.0 [i](9)[/i][/u][/b] Primary Text: [None] Secondary Text: Report of Bypass Authority Berriole, OS-I6 9, for Owl Sector records, assigned to incident TRANSMISSION. [i]Z. SHIRAZI CB-PZ-13.1 Long and sleepless nights. My whole staff in isolation suits, bent over our microscopes. But we have discovered a solution, I think. We have not tested it on patients yet, only pure prototype samples. If we toggle Fibrons 7, 21, and 16 across all nanoparticles with pulses of particular wavelengths, enough interference should be generated to render them dormant.[/i] [b]Dr. Shirazi plans on using a particular sound frequency to render the nanotech dormant. They will still exist in the patients bodies, but they will become incapable to replicating within, enhancing or eliminating their host.[/b] [i]I go now to try it on Susan, who lost consciousness yesterday. Even prone, she floats an inch above her sleeping surface.[/i] [b]Magnificence does not require a live host to continue to operate.[/b] [b][u]Splendor 2.6 [i](9)[/i][/u][/b] Primary Text: [None] Secondary Text: Records of the Vanguard, OS-I6 9 [i]Z. SHIRAZI CB-PZ-14.3 They did not see me behind the door. Jun said, "We have to tell the truth about Clovis Bray. We know. They don't." "We have to be cautious," Kit said. "We'll be alone for a while. No one will believe us. At first. "I've been through harder things."" "You're in?" "I'm in."[/i] [b]These two patients, Jun and Kit, have spoken out against Clovis Bray. They form a pact to inform, who they can.[/b] IR: Strange. I do not remember so much as a lone protest against Clovis Bray in our histories. CY6: Patchy as they are. ZAV: Colonists standing against their colony? You might as well jump into deep space without a suit or ship. [b]Clovis Bray may have gathered information on whistle-blowers within the company, and maneuvered their lives (debt, demotions, decreasing wages, etc.) to eliminate these people by manipulating them to choose to become subjects in this deadly experiment. As incredulous as this sounds, it wouldn't be their first time in history that this has happened, and I would consider myself simpleminded to say that it will not happen again. Power to often give the powerful the right to make whatever decision they decide is lawful, and whatever law is their decision.[/b] IR: Yet you look sympathetic. ZAV: Authority exists for a reason. Rebellions tend to squander strength and vitality that should be conserved. And yet I can't bring myself to disapprove of them. Jun. Kit. Shirazi. CY6: It was a different time. [b]Cayde - 6, despite his insipid complaint about being stuck in the Tower, understands the reason for his role in authority over Guardians. Zavala has an unusual sense of despair for the past's predicaments.[/b]
