*Sends you a telepathic thought* Hey... is it just me or is she... y'know... *Whistles telepathically*

@The Odeoron

*Raises an eyebrow and slowly my head toward you, my expression a conflicted, lighthearted mix between amusement and disappointment*

<Snipped quote by Server>

*A couple of metallic arms descend from the ceiling once the space is cleared, each possessing a scanner, that spin around you in tandem with yet opposite each other, analyzing you up and down, sending data on your anatomy to my own computers*
How are you feeling?

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Eyes on the goal, champ. In fact, why don’t you and your pal go ahead and head out through decontamination?
*Tilts my head in a gesture to a small metal bulkhead doorway*
You’ll still be able to watch but I will likely need the room clear.

@Melodious

Sure thing. I’m not opposed.
*Makes my way over to the doors*

*You step through into a sterile white room*
Greetings, family of three! Pleasure to meet all of you. Will each of you please step away from Jade for just a moment. Everyone except for Jade, that is.

@Melodious

*Glances side to side with shifty eyes, and then steps back two steps*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Hahah! You are right!

<Snipped quote by Server>

Well... maybe you get to meet my guys, they are an awesome bunch, trust me... and have no problem with so called 'monsters'

@The Odeoron

I mean, I really hope I am at least.
*Lets out a mild laugh of amusement*

Roger cap! Getting ready now!

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Chuckles* Hey don't jinx this! *Grins as i drink one last time*

<Snipped quote by Server>

Then i measure their proverbial hearts on the scales of justice if i have to become poetic. *I chuckle*

@The Odeoron

As long as you don't believe in it.
*Sets my drink down after taking a swig*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

True... true... And then let's just cross our fingers and hope things are straightforward then!

@The Odeoron

As they ever are, eh?
*Picks up the soda you summoned and swirls it around*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Indeed. And therefore, an approach to this kind of challenge, usually involves more than just your plain old classic surgery...

@The Odeoron

Maybe not classic. But perhaps still straightforward.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Hm... Mhmh... *I proceed to scratch my chin thoughtfully* There are so many types of parasites. And one created out of some curse-like magic or whatever power used Mierno, could be unpredictable. As we've already seen when you tried interacting with it in the metaphysical realm, it tried to consume you whole as you hovered closely to it...

@The Odeoron

The nature of the thing is to consume, definitely. But in the end, magic is energy, and energy is physical. Just on the surface, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of our own surgeons couldn’t figure out how to deal with it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Cool, cool! Now then. Tell me whatcha thinking! *I grin friendly and lift a glass, while i manifest some soda for you on the side*

@The Odeoron

My assumption is that it won’t be too complex on the surface. If it’s a physical parasite then surgery might be the move. How many complications and obstacles would need to be accounted for, though? No idea.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Observing is one aspect of it. What i've learned, is that one cannot base themselves solely on observing, but theorising and making logical deductions even if just on paper while keeping it to theory and not necessarily practice and review it with the actual operation performed.

@The Odeoron

*Smiles and nods*
I appreciate the sentiment of the message.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

It's a demeaning insult usually... by everyone, almost... depending on reality and culture, but yeah... i would say they look horrified at you and insult you to defend themselves. From you and your kind. I haven't seen anyone calling a strange being a literal monster, affectionately...

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Fair point man! I won't ask you to participate, but guessing helps you learn more too! *I smile warmly*

@The Odeoron

I plan to do that by observing. The best learning is done by watching the experts, after all.
