Sounds a bit primitive.

@Armed Forces

I see my attempts at humor are as characteristic as they have ever been.

Mm. You have the means to do so at hand? It’s not a process that can be done slowly.

@Armed Forces

The means to develop a system that filtrates blood at a sufficient rate? Bloodletting may be necessary, unfortunately.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Simple enough.

@Armed Forces

Given the options at hand, an optimal maneuver might be implementing a modification of your suggestion: cybernetic organs that operate a blood filtration system. Advanced dialysis, if I may be so crude.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

So where is a safe target?

@Armed Forces

Avoid the heart and the brain. She can live without most of the rest of her organs, at least temporarily.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I will not hesitate if it's necessary.

@Armed Forces

Very well.

It seems the analysis is complete.
*Taps a console, and a detailed mockup of Elizabeth's body, organs, skeletal system, nervous system, and circulatory system are strewn out across the screen*
It appears that the primary difficulty associated with any maneuver lies in attacking blood that it etched itself into her various body systems. That has the potential to begin the infection process anew.

I agree. Better to keep him on call in the event things go wrong, though.

@Armed Forces

I agree. Please inform me if you would prefer I notify him at any point.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

He's a bit too invested in what's at stake.

@Armed Forces

I agree; he would likely become a liability. Hence your role.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

More of an expert than anyone else. Good enough for me.

@Armed Forces

I can also summon Legend as needed, but I fear he may complicate the case.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Slides the weapon into my holster*
Sounds like you've become quite the expert since I left her in your hands.

@Armed Forces

I wish that were the case. We know enough.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

So it’ll basically allow the weapon to have an effect. Because I don’t believe that it would have before.

@Armed Forces

Negligible. The fact that it hasn't fully commandeered her biological systems is encouraging, and indicates that it will likely be more effective on Elizabeth than it would be on Crona.
