[Don hands Mike the book he nearly just dropped off the building.]

Decompression sickness (DCS) is due to the formation of inert gas bubbles in tissues and/or blood due to supersaturation, where either the mechanical stresses caused by bubbles or their secondary cellular effects cause organ dysfunction. DCS can be caused by a reduction in ambient pressure during ascent from a dive, rapid altitude excursion, in space or a hyperbaric/hypobaric chamber. Bubble formation occurs when decompression occurs sufficiently fast that tissue inert gas partial pressure exceeds ambient pressure, causing supersaturation and bubble formation. The resulting clinical manifestations include joint pains, cutaneous eruptions or rashes, neurological dysfunction, cardiorespiratory symptoms and pulmonary edema, shock and death. Several mechanisms have been hypothesized by which bubbles may exert their deleterious effects. These include direct mechanical disruption of tissue, occlusion of blood flow, platelet deposition and activation of the coagulation cascade, endothelial dysfunction and capillary leakage, complement activation and leukocyte-endothelial interaction.

[Mike reads the first sentence, and then looks at Don.]

[i_speak_softly]

[No response. He's in genius-land.]

[the_mikester]

Donnie! [Waving a hand in front of your face.] Awake, my genius brother! I have need of your skills!

[i_speak_softly]

Hm?

[Donnie Delayed Reaction.]

[the_mikester]

The mallies gave me video games but they're all different. Fix it pleeeeeeeeeeeease!

[i_speak_softly]

[His brain is still on nitrogen bubbles. He needs a better run-up to what you're thinking.]

[the_mikester]

They gave me a Playstation 3, but the games are all for this weird system I've never heard of, and they gave me Xbox controllers!

[i_speak_softly]

[He rubs the ridge between his eyes.] What format are the games?

[the_mikester]

Wiiiiiii. [What kinda weirdo name is that?]

[i_speak_softly]

[What?]

I mean, are they CD or cartridge?

[the_mikester]

[Oh.]

They're little CDs.

[i_speak_softly]

I can probably rip the data.

[the_mikester]

[He knew you'd come through for him!]

And the controllers? Oh, and the cords that came with it don't match anything.

[i_speak_softly]

I'll work on an adapter. [In between everything else he has to do.]

[the_mikester]

[You like being busy.]

Thank you thank you thank you!

I'll make you some pie for dessert tonight! And... and cookies. And... [He's not going to offer to do your chores, Donnie. Sorry.]
