what did you want, holmes? i'm assuming it's morally objectionable and has something to do with you dying or it's drugs and since you got wilson for the drugs...
Morally objectionable, perhaps, but with potentially significant reward.
It has already been established that the transfer of nanomachines from a healthy donor to an unhealthy one results in a temporary reprieve of symptoms, therefore it is logical to follow that forwards and assume that a complete transfer would result in a longer or more permanent reprieve. If the nanomachines from one of us, namely me, were to be transferred into the corpse of one of the original residents here, I believe that the revival process would be, at least temporarily, tricked.
The protocols would be triggered by the event of a recent death, the body with my nanomachines in it would be recovered and then revived. Though the process might not take with a rejection by the host, or simply the error being rectified, I think that it would temporarily provide a way to pose questions to the original resident.
John refuses to kill me twenty millilitres at a time, you seemed the logical choice.
a) we can pose questions to the residents right now pick a house where we knew one of them were talk at the air
b) we've already posed questions to the residents (they were mostly useless, fyi)
c) you're assuming your body is actually your body there's already something unique about us if we're the ones getting constantly revived and the rest of the crew ended up in mass graves we know the admin has a virtually unlimited supply of nanomachines how the hell else could they be pumping them into the new arrivals?
d) if we're actually still doing this because you have some compelling reason to refute all that i'm having you od before i bleed you out any other way is just stupid and torture your veins are gonna be swiss cheese before i get through three liters and i'll have to start pulling from anywhere i can get the needle in
We can pose questions to the scrambled ghosts of residents who might simply be hallucinations designed to assist or confuse, and assuming that all residents would be similarly ignorant is a foolish generalisation. The ones who reply now do so within the parameters of the town rules, allowed to 'survive' in some way without being purged, likely because of their ignorance.
These are residents who's bodies are still here, who died in this location, and who might know more about what happened than anyone else. I still believe it's worth the risk, though an overdose would be acceptable.
what exactly makes you think the guy we wake up is gonna be any less ignorant? they're all coming from the same server we've talked to people who got possessed by the data ghosts we've talked directly to them in some ocean dream weirdness not seeing the major variation other than you get to die and say you did something when you're going stir crazy here
but hey your life, kid where am i meeting you? gotta ditch the narcs
[Why does nobody ever see what he sees? He's disappointed, he thought Greg might at least follow the whole train of thought rather than being derailed by the events of the past.]
The building directly east of the park in the initial residential zone.
I'm sure if you actually apply some thought, you might deduce why this is a worthwhile experiment.
i know why you think it's worthwhile i just don't think it's gonna work but you're taking a risk good for you i encourage my staff to always think outside the box
[Outside the box just doesn't usually include their imminent demise with his assistance.]
I know that you also see merit in it, or you wouldn't have agreed to come. Even you are not such a bad doctor that you actively seek out people to assist in killing.
[There's not much to say over text here, so House just hangs up and starts making plans to ditch Wilson and Stephen... and steal Wilson's Vicodin first.]
