| Early in the morning on day 273, @ADMIN makes an announcement: MN will re-synchronize today. Please go to a medical center if you are concerned. As for what that means, or as for the fact that the medical centers are all in a state of disrepair, @ADMIN has nothing to say about that. And, indeed, after between thirty minutes to an hour, it's clear the nanomachines that course through your veins aren't working to the best of their ability: everyone is struck with the symptoms of mild to moderate radiation poisoning. It's not enough to kill anyone, but it's certainly not any fun at all. That's not all, though--some, but not all, in town will be struck with a second set of issues. Their senses play tricks on them, their eyes blur and their ears grow muffled, they see flashes of things that aren't there--but only for a few moments before things return to normal. Over the course of the morning, though, there is one thing that grows worse and worse for them: their emotions dull more and more until they don't feel anything at all. It probably won't get worse. |
