❧ **Quick-time event - End!**

[a few hours after Hope returns with the vial, Doctor Resarci turns on his CAT and begins broadcasting to all active CATs and vidscreens. the expression on his face is the definition of relief.]

My dear residents, I bring you joyous news! The results of that riddle led to the discovery of a vial containing the precise solution we needed to neutralize the poison! I wish I could tell you the poison was an advanced or mutated form of botulism or salmonella, but I fear it is far more complicated than that.

[he holds up a picture like one might see through a microscope, and it looks like--]

A tiny robot; advanced nanotechnology, actually. You may not believe, but inside each of you are thousands of these devices, tailored to make you ill. But in the vial, we found other nanorobots and when put together, the new nanorobots neutralized the others! And even self-destructed once their job was through. We have already tested it on a few of our test subjects here, so the solution is safe. Just a single drop for you all and that should be the end of it!

[his expression turns stern] So, what are you all waiting for? Come down to the clinic right this second! [a pause as he relaxes, smiling benignly] Or in the very least, help each other come down here. Let us know if you cannot make it and we'll fetch you, yes?


❧ Plot Details: Someone has poisoned the waterhole - Solved!

Congratulations! You all have survived--that is, once the characters get down to the clinic. Feel free to assume that it has already happened, but you can also use this entry to discuss whether characters helped each other to the clinic or not.

There will not be another plot update until Saturday. Until then, have fun in the clinic--the pool is open for some recuperative swimming--or relaxing around town!

As for the perpetrators of this crime? Well, unfortunately, they didn't put in any clues to their identity... Residents will just have to make their own guesses--for the moment.

Enjoy the break!

[Fuu's made it to the clinic with the assistance of Mister Braxiatel -^.^-
She's over-exerted herself, so she'll be sleeping for pretty much all of yesterday and today. If you happen to come by, she just might be whispering in her sleep concerns about her family and friends. She doesn't want them to worry about her.]

[Irving, meanwhile, would like to have some very polite and carefully phrased words with Doctor Resarci. Thus turning up at the clinic again in full health, being as inoffensive and courteous as he can manage.] If I would be able to take a moment of the doctor's time?

Only a little. I was hoping for a brief word or two.

A little dizziness and a bit of a migraine. Illnesses always go right to my head. But, ah, I seem to recall that in our earlier discussion, you said you'd be looking into the poison through scientific methods? A chemical analysis, of course, and I can only assume that such an advanced facility would also use an electron microscope to study the samples.

An aspirin, Doctor? It's the cure to all ills.

Yes, or else I'm sure I'd still be resting. You also used X-ray diffraction, that would be standard for a facility such as yours. And also a magnetic analysis, I'd have thought? I certainly would have done.

I just wanted to confirm what you would use. And, one more thing. You mentioned test subjects. I'm not aware of any of those who ate at the Chrysalis offering themselves up as test subjects, so that rather took me by surprise. [with a politely joking smile] I do hope you didn't poison any of the town's citizens on our behalf.

Of course. That makes perfect sense. I don't know how I could fail to think of it. Another question just occurred to me, but I'll save it if you aren't feeling well. The stress of these last few days must be quite the burden on you. Perhaps you need a rest.

Not a concern, actually, just a little inquiry. That historical display has me interested in the history of the town. Does the Resarci Medical Clinic typically fund the Founder's Day Festival, or is that honour generally passed around between the town's organizations?

That's funny. Most medical clinics I know are desperately seeking government and corpoate funding, not the other way around.

[a brief smile] Thank you for your time, Dr Resarci. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I will.

What would've happened if Fuu didn't find the cure?

If I may, I have a request of doctor Resarci.

[identity profile] wind-of-reason.livejournal.com 2010-07-17 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Swallowing her dislike for this man she forces her voice into an even tone.]

I would first like to thank you for your care during my recuperation. [She gives a slight bow of her head, more out of habit than anything.]

And I would like to ask if it would be possible for me to have a hard copy of the image you took of the nanobots that infected us.

[identity profile] wind-of-reason.livejournal.com 2010-07-17 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Is that so? It must be an inconvenience for you, if you had intended to research it further.

[No doubt the Sheriff was taking the criminal investigation as seriously as the doctors here had taken solving the antidote riddle.]

Ah, another question if I may. I'm not sure if you'll be able to answer, but I feel I must ask anyways.
Who were the test subjects from when you tested the antidote? I myself had volunteered to nurse Hope to be the first, because I felt that time was too short, but she reasonably denied my request. So I would like to personally thank those who were first, if at all possible.

I see. It must be another hardship for you if you are dependent on grants from the government.


Oh? I must admit that I'm surprised that it was them, and not one of the new residents, who came to you first. How is it that the employees had symptoms four days before us?
Actually, from your message alerting us to the fact we'd been poisoned, it had seemed more like the riddle from the 'third party' had alerted you.

[Being always conscientious of the proper terms of address, his slip with the Mayor's name does not go unnoticed. She puts it aside for the moment. After all, it's probably just that he's more used to addressing the Mayor casually, but has to use his title in front of others.]

Ah, I did completely misunderstand that. It is all such a shock, and I'm still trying to reason it all out, I'm sure you understand. Thank you for straightening that out for me - I thought it a bit odd. I'm sorry that they had to go though that.

So then, would it be correct to say that the riddle from the third party was your first indication that something was wrong? And that you might anticipate another such attack in the future?

[identity profile] wind-of-reason.livejournal.com 2010-07-20 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes. Of course. And I'm sure that they will do their duty.

[bows] Thank you very much for your time, doctor Resarci.
