Perhaps some of us decided to protect them instead of fighting?

And that's noble, but it doesn't tell us much. What are they doing here, what's wrong with them?

And...now that the medical staff is gone, how can we help them?

We could ask Val. I bet it's mostly thanks to her that they are alive, and perhaps one of her robotic staff could be useful about healing them.

Could do. We haven't exactly been on speaking terms since she decided my five year old daughter wasn't necessary to keep alive.

All this seems to be making people forget that this ain't a "friends to the end" arrangement with her. She can be just as bad as those interns we slaughtered, hell, a hundred times worse.

I'm still trying to figure out what is going on with them. I won't let anyone touch those pods until we know for sure. The little bots running around don't want them messed with.

I've noticed. Val seems quiet about it, too.

Maybe if people hadn't slaughtered the medical staff we'd be able to do more but... People seemed pretty obsessed with getting revenge on people who weren't the root cause, and whose only crime was stitching them back together when they died a lot of the time.

You must not have been here, when they got video of the staff in the medical area repairing people that died.

I wasn't. But that much was obvious, I'm wondering about the people in the pods. If they were injured I'd put them back together. I want to know how we wake them up and why they were put there in the first place.

And how long they'll last when they are in there.

Maybe they've got space cancer. [SHRUGGGGG

but this is actually kind of concerning]

Keep an eye on them and maybe we'll find out what the problem is.

Could be. That's what worries me, Jack. If there's nothing wrong with them, either the consortium put them there-in which case they need to be taken out somehow...

Or we're all at risk.

Wish I could help, but medical shit that doesn't involve stabwounds isn't my area of expertise. If we can't get anything out of Val, it might be better just to take one of 'em out and see what happens. Maybe taking a closer look will give us some more answers.

Let me know if you need anything teleported, I guess.

Hmmm. If I was a hundred percent sure that wouldn't do any harm to these folks, I'd say that's a plan.

But then again, I'm not.

Since these robots seem to know what they're doing and aren't generally all that talkative, I think it's a good time to wait and watch...

That's...um, when we die, we end up in those. If someone didn't die then I don't know. [Here's to hoping he won't ask her how she knows this.]

harry_b_dresden February 4 2012, 22:22:41 UTC
I understand. But these people...there's no visible injuries. Certainly nothing that could possibly kill them. If it was just a mater of repair I'd be on it, but....

People disappear all the time. Tsunade seems to think they're what the doctors call comatose.

togana_keiri February 4 2012, 22:24:46 UTC
Well, they put us into those after we've been fixed. When we die, they treat the injuries, and then when we're done being fixed, that's when they place us into those, so...the people in those should be healthy.

I think it's probably a good guess that that's what happens when we're comatose.

Why, though? If they've been repaired and put in the pods, what are the pods for?

[Howard's face appeared, frowning, and he shifts himself at his desk before he asked.] Harry, can you show me the stasis pod itself? Maybe if we understand how it works we can figure it why it's there.

[He pans the camera around the pod. Not much to see, the pod itself is mostly just a container to hold liquid, as well as a means to bring whatever liquid is in the machines on the wall into the pod.]

It's here to hold these people, that much is fairly obvious. The question is what it's doing for them. Or to them.

Hmmm. Show me the panel of a running one, if you wouldn't mind. [Howard clucked his tongue against his teeth.]

[The camera shifts to the mass of screens, steel, buttons and knobs, and Harry's disembodied voice laughs a little]

Just don't ask me to open anything up. If you want that you're going to have to manage on your own. Magic and advanced technical equipment don't mix. Stuff made by the facility's got some safeguards, but I don't trust myself working close with something might be keeping a buddy of mine alive.
