What's going on?

@Meta

We're just gonna make sure Dawn is okay. But I'll stick with you, okay? I trust Sloth and your mother. We'll stay here unless Dawn wants to see us, okay?

[Dynamics]

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

Of course, though there may be a need for you to watch from a distance. Depending on how sterile we need the environment, which will begin at "completely," so stay on this side of the window, please.
*Carries Dawn through a doorway into a small chamber, then a moment later continues through to a room you can see.*

@Codify

You're not sterile either, you know!

@Dynamics

I am, and also, I am. I disinfected the two of us just before entering this room. I apologize if I did so too quickly, time may be of the essence.

@Yatagarasu

Why'd she fall over and ruin our trip?

@Codify

Fine, fine. Just go.

@Meta

I promise she didn't do it on purpose. At worst, she's very ill. At best, she's going through a change right now. Sort of like... like a butterfly. She'll come out more beautiful, in a sense. So don't worry too much, and don't feel bad about the trip. We can do it over later, okay? When she's feeling better.

@Dynamics

Of course.
*Places Dawn on a table in the middle of the room*

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

How did that occur?

@Legend

A dwindling population of users and mass loss of knowledge and history.

[Dynamics]

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

Of course.

@Codify

If you kill her, you do not have enough bones...

@Heroic

For any particular reason?

*Frowns*
But she 'barassed our family.

@Legend

A large number of them. Less are born with the affinity these days than there used to be. It’s incredibly rare. So as many die to the broad dangers of Existence at large, and to other users themselves, there’s not really replacements, as cold as that phrasing sounds.

@Dynamics

If she dies, it would be because it were entirely impossible to prevent. I have all of your husband's old knowledge, and he was debatably the most talented doctor in Existence. Please stop worrying so much.

@Codify

Yeah, but I trust him, for better or worse.

@Heroic

What factors contribute to being born with the affinity?

*Sighs and crouches down to you*
Embarrassment is a fool's emotion. There's no point in holding yourself in such high esteem that you put what other people think above your own safety, happiness, or health. True self-esteem comes not from the approval of others, but from your approval of yourself. Embarrassment comes from wanting the approval of others, and feeling that you fail to have it. It's not something to ever worry about, okay?

@Dynamics

*From your perspective you've only been able to see my back over the table*
Then you should be happy to hear that she's stable, right now.

@Codify

What did you do?

[Codify]

<Snipped quote by Codify>

What did you do?

@Dynamics

I gave her a small amount of medicine to slowly bring down her heart-rate and breathing, carefully bringing her into unconsciousness. It has the added effect of glowing through skin, so I can check for damage.

Our family is fierce! They should be afraid of us, not laughing!!
