I told you it was a bad idea. I told you what the problem was, and you didn’t listen. And now Tamu is in a coma!

Well, that’s hardly my fault.

Medic Lisha
Dialogue
It is very much your fault, and you’re going to help me fix it. You’re going to actually listen this time, and not assume that you know more about our bodies than we do.

Alright, alright. What do you want me to do?

First, look at these neural scans. This is what happened when we exposed Tamu to the somnetic inducer.

It completely drowned out his brain waves.
Objective ID

Right, because it’s not made for our brains. Every time we go to the doctor here, we’re risking getting sicker than we already are.

All you scientists are so sure that you know everything, you forget that we’re from a different dimension. We are, quite literally, built different.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Derwin
Dialogue
I take your point. If we were to redesign the inducer to mimic your brain waves, would that work?
Objective ID
1,001,100,382
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Medic Lisha
Dialogue
It might work as a stopgap, but the real problem here isn’t a lack of sleep. It’s our patients' ability to process the build-up of toxins.
Objective ID

And it’s certainly not going to help Tamu.

Alright. If we’re going to do this, I’m going to need to take some scans of a healthy brain. You’ll do. Commander, I need you to pick something up for me.

Thank you both for your generosity. I’m glad I finally found someone who listened, even though it took a little while to get through to you.

We scientists aren’t infallible, you know. We are used to having the answers, and sometimes it is difficult to fathom that someone without our expertise might actually know more than we do.

It’s unfortunate but true that sometimes we must fight established wisdom to get what we need. I would like to stay in touch, Derwin, if you’re amenable.

Looks like your neural stimulator worked, Derwin. You have my sincere gratitude.

How generous of you to offer on our behalf… 80K Σ-Tritanium should suffice, Commander.

It sounds like your species has somehow evolved to tolerate insomnia.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Medic Lisha
Dialogue
Not quite. We simply require less sleep.
Objective ID
233,892,080
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Derwin
Dialogue
Right, but what you’re describing – the people who have this “condition” – this sounds very much like a normal reaction to a lack of sleep.
Objective ID
233,892,080
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Derwin
Dialogue
That, my dear, is easy to treat. I even have a somnetic inducer here. My mother had trouble sleeping a while back, due to a break in. Had quite a few sleepless nights afterwards.
Objective ID

Character
Medic Lisha
Dialogue
That’s unfortunate.

Isn’t it?

The somnetic inducer, Derwin.
Objective ID

Ahem… Here you are. Place this next to the patient’s bed and they’ll be sure to have a restful sleep.

I’m not sure about this…

You asked for my advice. There it is. Take it or leave it.
Objective ID

Very well. Commander, could you bring me to Zavozey? We can trial the somnetic inducer on one of my patients.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Medic Lisha

We’re just going to leave this here, Tamu. It’s going to help you sleep, and you’ll feel better soon. Alright?

Character
Tamu
Dialogue
Will it get rid of this headache?
Objective ID

That’s the hope. I’m going to stay here a little bit just to monitor you, alright?

Tamu
Dialogue
Alright… I guess that’s… Fine.

The somnetic inducer is already affecting him.

You can say that again. Look at his neural readings.

Do they seem normal?
Objective ID
460,493,381

Definitely not. Something’s wrong. Tamu, wake up. Tamu?
Objective ID

He is unresponsive.
Objective ID

I can see that… Dammit! We need to pay your friend another visit.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Medic Lisha
Dialogue
We need to get Tamu out of this coma as quickly as possible. The longer it lasts, the higher the risk.
Objective ID
487,224,244
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Derwin
Dialogue
I know. You said that the people who have this condition suffer from a build-up of toxins that are normally flushed out during sleep.
Objective ID
487,224,244
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Derwin
Dialogue
So, logically, there are two approaches. One, increase the amount and quality of sleep – I know, I know, you don’t like that one.
Objective ID
487,224,244
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Derwin
Dialogue
Your people aren’t actually lacking sleep. Forcing them to sleep more seems like an inelegant solution, I agree. The other option is to stimulate the part of the brain that isn’t doing its job.
Objective ID
487,224,244
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Medic Lisha
Dialogue
Let’s go with that option.
Objective ID
487,224,244
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Derwin
Dialogue
I’ve compared the scans of your healthy brain with Tamu’s and other patients’, and there is one key difference.
Objective ID
487,224,244
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Derwin
Dialogue
It’s the strength of the brain waves. Neurons act like little pumps. Synchronized neural activity forces fluid through the brain, taking metabolic waste with it. Gross, but there you go.
Objective ID
487,224,244
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Derwin
Dialogue
Your species seems to have robust neural activity. Stronger than any I’ve seen. Those suffering from the condition – well, their brain waves are noticeably weaker.
Objective ID
487,224,244
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Medic Lisha
Dialogue
The neuron pumps aren’t working at full capacity.
Objective ID
487,224,244
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Derwin
Dialogue
Precisely. The somnetic inducer overrode Tamu’s brainwaves with ones that mimic ours and weakened them even further. I’ve reprogrammed the neural stimulator to mimic your brain waves, Lisha.
Objective ID
487,224,244
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Derwin
Dialogue
This should be exactly what Tamu needs.
Objective ID

Go ahead, then.

Independent, do you happen to know any good doctors in these parts? Everyone I’ve talked to has been… Well, unhelpful.

We don’t know any doctors, but we do know a scientist.

Well, better than nothing. Maybe they can help.
Objective ID

Dialogue
What seems to be the problem?
Objective ID
708,009,834
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Medic Lisha
Dialogue
You probably don’t know this, but my people have evolved to require a lot less sleep than many of the species in this dimension.

That explains why Ven is up at all hours tinkering with whatever she can get her hands on. I thought it was a peculiarity of hers.

Medic Lisha
Dialogue
The same Ven that’s been advocating for refugees in the colonies? You’re well-connected, Independent. Maybe you’ll turn this around for us.
Objective ID
708,009,834
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Medic Lisha
Dialogue
The thing is, some of our people have a condition. Over time, they experience a gradual build-up of toxins – toxins that should be cleared during sleep.
Objective ID
708,009,834
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Medic Lisha
Dialogue
This is not an uncommon condition. Fortunately, it is easily remedied. We developed technology long ago that clears the toxins. A routine medical procedure.
Objective ID
708,009,834
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Medic Lisha
Dialogue
The problem is, our apparatus has malfunctioned. We are unable to carry out the medical procedure currently, and already some patients are experiencing health issues.
Objective ID
708,009,834
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Medic Lisha
Dialogue
We need to find a way to recreate this technology here, but the local doctors I’ve spoken to are uncooperative. I hope that your friend will be more helpful.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
We will soon find out.
