Only the strong of will and ego can survive it-- some die instantly. Others are driven into worse insanity than us. Some enter a state of catatonia, lost within the dreams of those that came before.

We should not do this.

With her brain possibly damaged she would not have the will to resist the effects.

And the side effects would destroy what is left of her.

Let Silas do whatever he can.

I am not opposed to this on principle but.. I do not think it will work.

[19_EgarAlnis]

No. It just adds to our power. You're stuck with me...and 'pure' dust is one of the most expensive things in existence. Entire solar systems would have to spend hundreds of years stockpiling credits.

It does have a chance of ruining her. William had a strong force of will, a strong personality, one centered around hate and war and violence. The 'dust' takes to that with gusto.

[ZBridges]

I'm torn.  I need to think about it for a while before I vote.

[19_EgarAlnis]

Don't think too long-- that wound will eventually etch itself into her pysche-- her 'dust' will see that as its default state...like William and his cybernetics. She will never be able to heal that scarring and damage.

[Superdorf]

Is there no other way?

[ZBridges]

Alphira, can you heal her through hydrogen manipulation?

[Naturegirl1999]

Do the blood transfusion

[Superdorf]

Do the blood transfusion

If it's this or her life, I'll take it. Otherwise... we've got to exhaust our options first. We've got to. The obvious solutions are not acceptable right now.

[19_EgarAlnis]

Healing, and carbon manipulation isn't our line's forte. We're more...explodey boomey fire death from above. You could practice on some people and try-- but tell me, how much do -you- know of reattaching nerve endings and brain chemistry? Because all I know is how to turn the water in people's brains to hydrogen to give them a stroke.

William sits on the bed, watching you silently. You have the oddest feeling a similar argument is being played out in his head. Iyal drifts in quietly, through the open door, quiet-- you probably wouldn't have noticed if she wasn't letting you.

Deactivate reproduction controls.  Override: Alphira.  Mission sensitive VIP in critical condition.

+1

[Superdorf]

I... I can't take that plunge. Not without the word of her brother, at least.

Do you know, I've considered that trick-- ahh, but that doesn't help now! That doesn't help now...

...

Speak dull. "It could save her. It could kill her. It could drive her mad. Depends on if she's got your will or no-- your ego. If she hasn't..."

...

"I don't know."

[ZBridges]

I wonder if Lucile could help to mitigate any negative side effects.
