Day 242 | @Ecks | video and text

[ecks]

[The transmission starts with a video largely obscured by heavy static; House can probably make out some corpses that look strikingly similar to the last video Ecks sent him. This time there are darker marks on some foreheads, hard to make out. The video pans over the bodies, then ends.]

I washed off a symbol mostly and covered others with ink
nothing has happened
these bodies are very old
they are so old they have turned into mummies, but not the undead kind of mummies, and it is very hard to wash off the symbols

I did what you told me to do and nothing happened
moron

[rubikscomplex]

it tells me a lot

[Specifically that he was right about her.]

first and foremost that the prophet symbols don't mean anything on those guys
for now, anyway
we just got this geiger app, too
don't bother going back to the bodies again
but if you come across any more
i want you to use the app to check if the bodies are giving off a lot of radiation
also
you need to come down to this radiation area to help me map

[He sends her his most up-to-date map that shows a gate in the southeast corner of the industrial area.]

[ecks]

is the radiation why the bodies make us sick?
Steph said she did not remember if other bodies made people sick but I thought they did and she said to ask you but I did not ask you immediately because you are a moron and you said my opinion didn't matter but I am asking you now
do the other bodies people found usually make people sick and make their noses bleed?

we will come
there is nowhere else to explore where we are and Zell and his friends are looking at the buildings here

[rubikscomplex]

the radiation might be why the bodies make us sick
something is setting off the mn in our bodies
all of the dead bodies make us sick
the symptoms we're experiencing are acute mn poisoning
it's like what happens in the morgue
but on a lower level

[ecks]

do you think that the morgue is radioactive?
or that the machines are trying to revive the corpses we found?

[rubikscomplex]

maybe

[He'd had the thought with Wilson months ago and never found a way to follow up on it. Now with this app, though...]

i'd rather test the corpses before jumping to testing the morgues
it could just be the excess mn from the attempted healing process for there

[ecks]

if mn is refuse from the nanomachines there will be more mn poisoning when you are somewhere that makes the nanomachines do more work

[rubikscomplex]

yes
i understand the implication
are you asking me to go and sit in the morgue again with the geiger counter on?
somehow i thought you'd be okay with the safer option first

[ecks]

NO
MORON

[rubikscomplex]

then what are you saying?
use your words

1 of 2

[ecks]

MORON IS A WORD
MORON

2 of 2

[ecks]

there are other places that make people sick
not only corpses
not only morgues
MORON
you should use the app in other places that make people sick

[rubikscomplex]

i'm busy
find me people in those areas and i'll transfer the app to them to check

[ecks]

I am also busy but I did the thing you told me to do

[rubikscomplex]

and now you can do this thing because you're finished with one of the other things i told you to do

[Simple logic, Ecks.]

[ecks]

you could finish a thing and do the thing I tell you to do also
hypocrite

[rubikscomplex]

you've told me not to die
i'm actively doing that by being alive

[ecks]

oh

[Well, he has her there.]

[rubikscomplex]

glad we're on the same page
find someone near the house that has the humming in the residential area
