Mission: Bad Science Saves the Day

Date & Time: Mid-Day, 3310 | Present Day June 14th-16th
Location: Andersfeld, in the (far former) state of Alaska. (Also known at one time as Anchorage, Alaska.) | Back in Exsilium, those manning the Transport Pads, or working on developing the antibiotics and administering them to the ill throughout the city. Yet others will need to hop-scotch through time gathering sufficient supplies to save lives.
Characters: Volunteers to alter medical research, people working on antiobiotic cures, people distributing appropriate cures, and those who are doing minor missions into the past to retrieve adequate supplies to treat the sick in the present.
Summary: Transports are asked to help save tens of thousands of lives, first by traveling two years into the past and altering scientific research. Second, by helping with the manufacture and development of antibiotics or other cures, once the mission is complete. Third, by distributing the cure to the affected parties. Fourth, by going on pointed supply missions solo, or with up to two other people, in order to get enough supplies to save people in the present.

Whatever your character decides to do, the weight of saving lives is on their shoulders, unasked, and perhaps unwelcome. What will they do when faced with this decision?

Warnings: Illness. Freezing cold. Possible death. Drunken scientists.

In Andersfeld, the snow falls in thick, fat flakes, winds blowing in gusts up to 60 kph. Everyone is bundled up against the weather. Spirits are generally low, if not outright alcoholic. Safety lines and lights guide those brave enough to venture outdoors from building to building.

For the Transports with a six hour window to alter a future that will kill over a hundred thousand people in three weeks, it's a dangerous and necessary bravery.

In Exsilium, the success of the mission to Andersfeld is felt as soon as scientists notice the virus responding to antibiotic treatments. It becomes a race to finding the most effective means of combating the now bacterial infection, and of mass producing any working cure for distribution.

Some help with the production.

Others hurry to cart the supply out to the places hit most heavily. Yet others work directly with administering the antibiotics, in most cases, via an IV line. Those less heavily affected will be granted ridiculously large antibiotic pills, needing to be coaxed down spasming throats.

Those who need action, or who are no good with the sick, are asked to make countless small trips through time to secure the supplies needed to produce enough of the cure to save the tens of thousands who are ill but not yet deceased.

And for those too ill to assist, now is the time to rest, heal, and get better. In a world like this, one never knows what surprise might next lie in wait. The Transports and the Initiative have thwarted total disaster for now.

Mostly.

You know, Kaneis... I'm not sure if that's brave or just incredibly stupid!

[In between speaking with him, she manages to get another patient to swallow a pill.]

I've never had any swearing aimed at me for that reason, after all. [She makes sure the patient is okay before moving to another one.] Ever had any sisters swear at you? Call it morbid curiosity that I'm asking.
wilder: (wink smile)

Have I ever had the sisters swear at me?

Well, they sure do if I do it right. [If you know what I mean]
skirtcladgunner: (☽ ...that's a boner isn't it)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2013-06-15 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
[She knows, and she walked right into that one. Her cheeks are a little pink as she prepares an IV line.]

That's not what I meant. [Even in her flustered state, she make sure she doesn't do anything stupid as she sticks the IV needle into yet another patient.] ...saying it like that makes it sound like you have tons of experience~

[Anything to salvage this conversation! ...though that probably just made it worse.]
wilder: (LLOYD ☼ he's a wonderful friend really)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-06-15 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[yep, he's sensing the flustered state and decides yes. Yes let's make it worse. Because yeah, what is having shame.]

Oh, loads and loads! I could always show you if you aren't convinced. ♥
skirtcladgunner: (☽ typical adolescent feelings)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2013-06-15 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, it definitely succeeds in making things worse. Tori can feel how hot her cheeks are burning.]

There's no way I could take you up on that offer. ...no offense to you, of course! [Her voice is softer, changing her method in attempting to salvage this. There's no way she could be silly about it now, anyway.] There's just only one person I'm really interested in gaining more of my own experience with.

[She works on getting another IV ready.] This stuff better really help everyone...
wilder: (kayne shrug)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-06-15 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[And while she's all flustered and what not? He doesn't care and shrugs.] Okay, suit yourself.

[And he's getting back to work!]
skirtcladgunner: (☽ not that i like you or anything!)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2013-06-15 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
F-Fine! I will suit myself! [Getting back to work too.] I'll more than suit myself.

[Pretty words, but she's getting cranky herself. It shows with the next patient--yet another stubborn one.]

Come on, please--!
wilder: (colette work with me here)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-06-17 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He snickers, but beyond that he's going back to attending patients on his own]
skirtcladgunner: (☽ almost can't deal w/it)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2013-06-17 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[She heard that.]

Don't be a jerk, Kaneis. [Mostly teasing, but still a little frustrated. She can hardly blame him for finding humor at the expense of others at this point--this is pretty stressful. Back to the patient.]

Do I have to resort to bribery or something? Really, your health should be enough of a reward!
wilder: (whaaaat i'm innocent ttly)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-06-17 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[But being a jerk is how he is! He's just giving a shrug at her calling him a jerk, like he's totally innocent (he knows he's not), before moving on]
