Small solutions, larger problem.
(Brief OOC notes for reference. )
I just realized something. Nikolai can be cured, sure. With the help of the SMC, he very well might (when we finish up with that RP, that is). But there's one small problem.
Nik never trusted the Muckwide backup system, never really used it, choosing his own methods. Except for coming in contact with Twin, which I believe he's only done a few times, and a fair bit ago at that, so that backup's old. Before any attempts at a Strange cure. His backup resided in a giant crystal in the factory of Darkunder. Then he was carrying it around with him. Then, during his trip to Strangewarp and the cutting off the statue's head, his backup crystal got taken and destroyed by Strange.
He went back to his lab, scanned himself a backup there, then hit reset....and the Lab itself is now infected. So, he can be cured....but the instant he forgets and returns to his Lab (and the urge to get back to work is always strong), he'll simply be reinfected. If killed, his backup resides with the Strangevirus, and it will most likely bring him back. So there's a temporary solution, but a bigger problem that the SMC and others will still have to face: getting rid of the infestation outside its home warp.
And I have some mad plans for the Lab, oh yes....
*rubs hands and cackles*
Minor character note: Player's influences for Nikolai--Invader Zim, Professor Farnsworth, Dr. Frankenstein, Dr. Finklestein.
