A THOUSAND YEARS

“There is some significant damage to the myelin sheathing at the neural termini.”

A monitor screen lit showing a three-dimensional graphic of the damaged nerve endings. At the termini, it looked as if they had been burnt…severely.


i'm sorry you do not get that kind of data from just a blood sample

now maybe if there was a chemical cause for the damage in the blood they might be able to extrapolate that they'd expect to find the damage in the person but that wouldn't give them enough information to determine all that was wrong with them

Heya goku,

Aah, you don’t get that kind of data from a blood sample using a current computer. ‘Mione is a sentient AI developed nearly a thousand years in the future. Haven’t you ever watched Star Trek TNG? That’s only three hundred years from now, man. More, while it isn’t stated clearly that he used other data he’d gotten from Frank and Alice, it said in part 11 (Errand of Mercy) “He passed a flat object with a clear screen on one side over the comatose Aurors. When it beeped, he thumbed it off and returned it to his belt.” Guess what that device was.
