The decision is made. Isaac starts up the car, and you can feel the acceleration as it zips along the frozen roads. He’s going too fast for you to feel safe, but you guess that there’s not much choice, and you think he’s experienced enough to not crash. You hope.
After several minutes you reach Jenny’s position. The boot of her car is open, and a lot of the scientific looking equipment you saw earlier is in it. The screens are blinking and changing very rapidly. Jenny is currently slapping the tops of several blinking machines and cursing. Isaac walks over.
“Jenny.”
She look up and nods at him, before bending over the equipment again and starts to speak.
“We’re completely blind out here. They’re either not picking up anything, not even life signals or Dobbs particles, or else they’re telling me we’re experiencing phenomena
consistent with a ZK-Class reality failure. Can’t tell if it’s broken or being jammed by something. Defragging, resetting, nothing’s working.”
“Are you able to fix it?”
“No. I don’t know what the problem is. The only thing I can do is try to juice it with the blood shiner, but that has a whole host of risks on its own.”
They both look at you.
What are they talking about? You hope they’re not going to sacrifice you to something.
“Give me your hand.” Isaac says.
>What?
“Give me your hand.” His voice suggests you shouldn’t disagree. You offer him your hand, and he grabs it by the wrist.
>What are you doing? This is safe, right?
“No.” David responds. “But it’s unlikely to kill you.”
Sure. That makes you feel so much better.
“I don’t like this, Isaac. David’s the thaumaturgy expert.”
“Well we can’t reach him, so we have to make do with what we have. Can you do it?”
“I can. No guarantees though.”
She hands Isaac a strange tube with a needle sticking out of it. Isaac takes it and sticks it into your open palm.
>Ouch!
It draws blood, and is quickly done. There’s a small cut on your hand but otherwise you’re fine. Isaac gives the tube back to Jenny who starts working on the equipment again.
>Hey, that wasn’t so ba-
