What do you have that can do that?

@Server

*I snap my fingers as a detailed map of your organism appears out of crimson light and mist right next to you and clear for Claire @Melodious and you to see*

I figured at the very least this should help... we could more safely and interactively analyse your situation if it is indeed a biological presence in there, the doc would know best i presume?

Will it need some kind of surgery?

@Server

<Snipped quote by Server>

Definitely. Hard to take anything out of a person without.

@Melodious

*In the meantime i am toying with the tesseract spinning it in mid-air as it hovers and does some loops while i occasionally eye you both during the conversation but my mind is somewhere else until the surgery part is brought up*

Would i be able to assist there? Instead of actually cutting her up i might have a different way to expose the problem and help extract it without the need for knives... Also... i'm thinking the decontamination is over by now?

*Nods*
I don't think I ate one, at least.

@Server

<Snipped quote by Server>

You didn’t. But for all intents and purposes, we’re going to treat this as a parasite just like that.

@Melodious

Analogy it is... but what if this physical thing, was created with something other than just infecting the host indirectly?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

What does that mean the problem really is?

@Server

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

That’s all well and good, but it’s definitely manifested from a physical power. The roots are mind and body.

<Snipped quote by Server>

You ever heard of a tapeworm, where you’re from?

@Melodious

So what have you discovered that led you to that conclusion? Does a tapeworm cause this type of decay in their victims? Last i knew one of the symptoms is also swollen belly... that part is missing... Or was that just an analogy?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

<Snipped quote by Server>

So it mentally manifests in a form representative of what it does physically? That would make sense.

@Melodious

I d... It's not mentally... it's more like her entire spiritual being if you will. Soul, consciousness, spirit etc...
But now that you put it that way... hmmm.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

<Snipped quote by Server>

That’s not shocking to hear either. And what did you lot say you saw when analyzing things “metaphysically”?

@Melodious

Some type of energy orb or object, that sat right at the centre of what was supposed to be Jade's imprint of her home town... and instead of the place, there was just this circular bottomless pit stretching deep into the ground. When Orthrus tried to approach it, it just started trying to draw him in like gravity. Then i sealed it with a spell to at least sedate it. Don't know how much good that did though.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

What could go deeper than that?

@Server

I don't think you want to know that right now... It's best to focus on... happy thoughts...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

They're no surprise though. Right?

@Server

Considering what we've seen in your metaphysical self, and how it reacted to a mere interaction attempt, i wouldn't say it isn't surprising at the very least... This may have deeper ramifications though...

*Flashes a weak thumbs up*

@Server

Yeah, i know you want to comfort me, but those symptoms don't sound good Jade... *Speaks through comms*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Has it been getting worse, or is it just consistently bad at a level that's worse than usual?

@Melodious

*Sits down in a thoughtful demeanour*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

It keeps getting worse. Every day.

@Server

*raises a knowing eyebrow then shakes my head*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Flashes two weak thumbs-up*
She's done a lot for me since I started working there.

@Server

Well... nothing to do for now but to cooperate with the good doc, and if any help's needed, we'll be here..
