day 78, text, @frfujimoto

[lionson]

Okay so quick question.
What is this beacon thing?

[spoileralert]

Quick answer, nobody knows.

It may or may not attract monsters and monitor levels of MN poisoning.

Before you ask, we don't know what MN poisoning is either.

[lionson]

Ah.

Can it be toggled on and off?

[Because he is all for experimentation, but not if it could permanently screw him over.]

[spoileralert]

Once every 23 days, apparently.

Did you read what @Admin linked?

[ She should really, like, try to be helpful or something. ]

[lionson]

I did, but I was hoping to get some verification on it before I did anything.

I'm still not sure they have our best interests in mind.

[spoileralert]

Neither is anyone else. I calculated how many people with beacons had been attacked compared to people without them, and it was about even.

[ ... ]

You're a doctor, aren't you? Where are you right now?

[lionson]

[That's not really helpful, but it sounds like he'll have the same odds with it on or off, so.

...actually wait.]

Did you discount the attacks that happened before we were notified about the beacon?

And yes, I am a doctor. I'm at the clinic now, but I was going to head out tomorrow morning. Were you in need of a doctor?

[spoileralert]

No, I counted the attacks and beacons I was told about.



I kinda broke my nose but the clinic is pretty far and in this weather... idk don't go out of your way or anything, I really just need a mirror and some tylenol.

[lionson]

What day was everyone told about the presence of the beacon? The first time, I mean. And if you discount all attacks from before that day, does it skew the numbers in either direction?

[A broken nose is serious business, though. Fortunately, it's something Shiro can help you with.]

It sounds like you need a doctor's touch.
Where are you right now?
I'll be sure to bring some painkillers too.

[He is fairly certain that Clayton won't think much of it if Shiro asks for a couple pain pills, especially if they're tylenol and not vicodin.]

[spoileralert]

Day 55. It first showed up on day 14 though, and there weren't any attacks until then.

[ She just can't help but help herself. And if it means not having to face Clayton, Angel or Rhys... ]

We're due south of the clinic. And Al's like 10 feet tall so you can't miss him.

[lionson]

[So if the attacks didn't happen until after the beacon became available, then it's not too helpful anyway. Shiro will have to pour over the data later to see if he can see any patterns.]

I'll just head south until I find your group then. Think you can hang tight for a couple days until I get to you?

[spoileralert]

Yeah, no problem. The cold really helps.
