Fucking neurotoxic nanite vectored drugs.... WMDs on super market shelves...... These people are going to destroy their entire civilization letting sorority girls play war crimes as pranks Karma is a mother fucker and our choices guide it's turning for good and ill XD

Honestly the safest and best thing for Conner at this point might be to spend the semester working from home while recovering from the poisoning with their loving grandparents, girlfriend and the occasional carefully vetted home nurse. It wouldn't exactly be hard sell for any halfway competent lawyer *in Foghorn Leghorn Kentucky Fried voice* "Now I say I say your Honor! *snaps suspenders for emphasis* Now my clients your Honor, the Good Drs. Westerfield are here to make a motion today through yours truly. Now what motion one might ask? Why to bring their sweet little baby boy Conner home to the family after he was violently poisoned and potentially permanently disabled at the hands of a university staff member who was supposed to be his safe keeper and trusted friend! *wags finger and thunders* So that he might yet make and gainsay a swift and full recovery physically, mentally and spiritually while finishing his courses safe and sound at home; with the arms of his family, friends, clinical team and all the saints and angels lifting him up! I say, I say doesn't that sound nice? A sick little boy home for Christmas while his Grammy makes him hot coco as he studies diligently and his mamma coming in the door for the first time in decades for a tearful renuion with the grandparents.... Why it just about makes a grown man cry..... What say you your Honor!? Can I get a Hallelielujah and an Amen!?" .... Bonus points from the Universtiy's stand point you can you can use the two former Nest Mothers as scape goats and play it off as an isolated incident. Little Boy goes home to loving family. Abusers are punished all's well that end's well right? Pay no attention behind the curtain......

I sometimes stop with these type of stories and pickup a while later as they can get intense for me 😅🤷‍♀️

TBH I think a negotiated surrender is the best you can realistically hope for in this dimension. Getting to transition safely, still work and have a parent who actually cares all while at least being treated like six year old potty training dropout would be a pretty good deal. I'd take it.

Charlie down! Don't try to crack eggs before their ready! *gets spray bottle*

Do my ears detect the approach of a thunderous heard of "ambulance chasers" and possibly a majestic DA?

Okay that's definitely not just a fucking OTC laxative. My best guess is that it's an inflammatory agent/channel signaling agonist strong enough to cause permanent damage by causing smooth muscle spasms and I would put money on cyto/nephro toxicity. Like this shit could hospitalize someone or even kill them. Seconding, I would have honestly considered suing if I was in Amanda's shoes.

All good!

.... Also this all kind of has me wanting to try and enroll and just keep making increasingly ludicrous contract counter offers for equally ridiculous sums of money with Emerson just to fuck with with them. As like a "I'm going to expose you as morally bankrupt and without principles by making you completely 180 and humiliate yourselves for money...." You think a $250 million athletic complex would be enough to buy Dean Northrup on her knees in a crawler and tutu and publicly calling me mommy?

I would have my grandmother press assault charges on my behalf. I'm late to the party but if you if you need a NetRunner and Rigger who can reserve Solo and act as fire support I'm your girl! *VTOL descends behind me as couple Kang Tao sec drones hop out followed by yours trully in a full exo rig*

Noah is such a sweetheart! And I love the representation! I honestly really need to learn at least some basics myself because 1. I can go nonverbal under extreme stress and 2. I work in healthcare

I'm not going to lie though if I was Beth I would seriously consider dropping the class in protest. If remember right it's just an elective?

Jinx! I was just thinking the same thing! XD And this is what an ally looks like, using her privilege as a shield and trying to make this as safe and non-traumatic as possible for Beth and Connor. Definitely would refuse to use this on my portfolio though. Also respect the realism and range of characters

Very much this, it couldn't be a simple matter of dilution to body mass but it feels way to random and scatter shot? Whelp I saw this coming

Anyone who survives this trafficking mill is going to need so much therapy. Wonder if there are like support groups and assistance funds for survivors? Yeah if they had put all of that energy into escaping they might have survived and instead they're about to get the old....

Fuck I hate these kind of manipulation tactics and pitting prisoners against each other. Seconding the info sec recs!

I'm legit surprised none of these people are clued in that anything is wrong at this point. Like I'm wondering how much brainwashing might be effecting them. Whelp that answers my question... Yeah I would be hating our government even more than I normally do for letting this kind of thing go on if I lived in Conner's home dimension. Like that might the proverbial straw to make me go full "partisano".

*makes another call to my fixer*

Okay I legit want it! This could make my morning so much easier! *puts in a call to my Fixer....* Seconding about the egg and ageregressor! I've got $20 and the first round on that egg cracking within a month cause it's almost done slow boiling.

Fascinating..... it must work by confusing the vestibular system in some way if I had to guess.... Once again why I wouldn't set foot there without counter measures installed. The amazons must have one hell of a PR and counter int system to not be a pariah state if this shit is on publicly available documents. Yep and honestly given the need for constant protection why I would likely go with cyber. With air gap protocol lock down in case someone within NFC range tries to compromise my personal net and 'ware and the first firewall goes down. Jericho protocol triple redundant hard-cycle that check safes against reference OS copy and boot fail safe that also throws extra power to sheer hardening my dermal armor for the 5s I'm down while the system cycles and reinstall the OS to purge.

That's troubling,always seems to be new kinds of this tech. And course my autistic ass loves to analyze how this kind of theoretical brainwashing tech could even work. (mainly to reassure myself it could it never happen in real life) And the best I can figure is that it has to work similar to "Braindance" technology in "Cyberpunk 2077" essentially denial of servicing the brain with optical and audio static but this approach should end with the person in a seizure so how the hell do they upload specific information to the brain especially without individual calibration? Either way I would be keeping noise canceling earbuds and protective contacts in 24/7.

Coming back to this after a long break and this was a good chapter! Hoping Charlotte can rieghn in Kelly's bullshit

Seconding!

Thanks Freta, I just saw this!
