Forge:

I need a quick diagnostic scan of the 'ware. I was exposed the other day to some EMP - not very powerful, but I could definitely _feel_ it. Very strange.

Can I have you run a full diagnostic on the 'ware if you get a couple of moments? And would it be possible to Faraday cage off as much as possible to keep from being EMPed back to parapeligia?

I'm sorry for losing it at you on the team board last night. I'd say I was in a state, but I think that's being redundant and it's not much of an excuse. I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't been there at the restaurant last night, but I doubt it would have been good.


So thanks, and sorry.

Heard about what happened w/ Saul. Am sure you know that everyone's desire for homicide on that man has increased, so it's no surprise that mine has.

However, started mulling the problem over again and I want to do some tests. I've got an idea for a chemical check on his precog that could maybe be a temporary fix, but I'm going to need to do lots of blood tests...

Er, wait. Let me go back and start again.

All psi powers are EM in nature - this is known, and in theory it's a weakness but even Erik doesn't have the fine control/neurological understanding to interfere with tp/tk. It's just not doable, as far as I can tell, because brainwave patterns are too mutable. You can wipe them entirely, or you just can't do anything with them. Nate and Angie's precog, however, are electro-chemical, leading to the wacky coffee and chocolate effects they both suffer from. I believe that this is at the root of Nate's EMP problems - the theoreticals are escaping me at the moment (you and Hank are so much better at grasping the how of mutation functionality), but it makes sense from a logical point of view. No other telepath/telekinetic suffers from this EMP weakness, so it must be Nate's precog which is the weakness. The precog is affected by chemical changes and, specifically, can be kicked into high (uncontrollably high) gear with chocolate. Therefore there should be some other chemical or chemical mix which could, concievably, lower or cut off his precog (temporarily) and remove the EMP weakness.

But, well, you know. Nate + chemicals = wacky-not-so-fun. So is there any chance you could convince him to let me steal some (er, lots of) blood samples? Am going to go at this slowly.

And, it goes without saying, I would love to hear any ideas you have on the matter.
