Monday Medical RP

Incoming subspace message from Admiral Cobramax Mechanique:

Greetings. I have urgent orders. To begin, you are to initiate research on nano-phages. Something to kill nanites in situ. This must be done as quickly as possible, Top Priority. Under special dispensation 455.6, you are authorized to use captured Borg Drones as experimental subjects, if necessary. Under that special dispensation, the prisoners health and well-being is protected, but he may be used as a donor for nanites and as a barometer for the efficacy of a vaccine.

And so it begins…

The GFC Medical team assigned to Phoenix Station begins a research effort to isolate a way to safely destroy nanites while inside a humanoid. This effort brings new problems and issues at every step; from the ethics of nanite research using Borg prisoners, to the effects of sonic feedback waves on the substructure of the station itself. The medical team must overcome every obstacle encountered along the way to their goal, a cure for nanite infestation and it’s complement, a vaccine.

Nanites

Nanite samples taken from a Borg prisoner are decompiled, disassembled and analyzed at a molecular level in an effort to isolate any indications of weakness or vulnerability. The nanites immediately show signs of adapting to proto-vaccines, and even infecting the sensors being used to analyze them. In an effort to prevent further infestation and system corruption, Razor builds a self-contained analysis unit, confining the nanites in a Klein bottle-type apparatus to isolate them from the sensors that analyze them.

Even as the research continues, the nanites, through a mechanism of their own, begin to evolve into invasive mode and self-replicate. At the same time, Da5id discovers that the Borg prisoner is a Unimatrix Zero adjunct, and has the potential for individuality.

Razor discovers that the construction of the blood nanite  is non metallic. It appears to be a silicon-based form, maybe  a complex glass that Da5id was able to identify as mono-crystalline Boronitride.

Ai isolates the grouping of frequency bands that the nanites are using to communicate. In an attempt to disrupt those frequencies, she generates a pink noise pulse on those frequencies. Initial tests were not encouraging, so the researchers try exposing them to heat.

Ai programs in a wide band pink noise signal and causes it to be broadcast throughout the station. The nanites immediately break containment in the isolation ward and attack Da5id’s neural implants, leaving him trapped in the isolation ward. At the same time, a piercing high sonic wave permeates the entire station, and the entire lab begins to vibrate.
