[Frankly, Jemma’s surprised he figured it out so quickly.

She replies in text because she’s still furious at him.]

George thinks it might separate Mike from Brenner. I asked Elle but all I got was silence so I took that as a no.

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

It's not a no. She's scared. Rightfully so. She wants me to make sure you get why.

Brenner tortured and drove her birth mother into a catatonic state using high doses of ECT when her mother tried to rescue her from the place she was being experimented on.

Re: Terse text

[badgirlshenanigans]

What constitutes high doses?

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

450.

Re: Terse text

[badgirlshenanigans]

That’s not ECT, that’s torture.

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

I'm aware of that. She's not going to ever see the benefits of it after what happened to her mother. So tell me exactly what the plan is so I can talk to her.

Re: Terse text

[badgirlshenanigans]

The plan is to use the ECT to disrupt the patient’s brainwaves. The disruption is intended to separate Brenner’s dominance personality from Mike’s. We’re not talking multiple treatments here, just one at a mas voltage of 240 volts.

Obviously, she can be there for it. It’s the difference between using a scalpel for serious harm, or for delicate surgery.

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

I'm sure she'll want to be. Or have me be there.

Why is this the treatment? What's causing this?

Re: Terse text

[badgirlshenanigans]

Discussions with George. He needed a way to disrupt brainwaves. ECT is the simplest way.

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

If you can't catch someone to hold them down for that, use the lightning gun. Or just shoot the lightning cannon into the dome with a 4.4 variance. We'll all get hit, but that should take care of it.

Re: Terse text

[badgirlshenanigans]

I’m trying not to hit everyone. George is trying with Savitar first, as he both has him, and has him sedated.

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

And has anyone gotten Nica?

Re: Terse text

[badgirlshenanigans]

The focus has been more the meta-human psychopaths who’ve suddenly appeared. That and the tiny girl causing all the rain.

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

...please tell me someone remembered to open up the 'gutters' we installed last time we got magic rain?

Re: Terse text

[badgirlshenanigans]

Someone must’ve. It’s been all rain and no flooding.

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

Good. Because I sure can't do it.

Re: Terse text

[badgirlshenanigans]

No, you can’t do anything right now because you’re an idiot.

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

Don't push it.

Re: Terse text

[badgirlshenanigans]

You went far beyond just pushing it. I don’t think you understand that yet.

Talk to Elle.

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

If I did, Nica or Elle can tell me that.

I am talking to her.

Re: Terse text

[badgirlshenanigans]

You did it to both your children and to me and your brother. Other people do not get to determine when I get reasonably angry.

Then call back when it’s done.

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

She'll call you.

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

And by the way:

1 year, 7 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 19 hours, 27 minutes and 37 seconds.

Re: Terse text

[badgirlshenanigans]

Obviously that’s not the amount of time since I last called you an idiot.

Re: Terse text

[intrinsicrandom]

1 year, 7 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 19 hours, 25 minutes until some 'dark fate' befalls me. Whatever it is. It changes, from time to time. I get an extra year or two or lose a few months. It's never more than 4 years. Once it got as low as four days. It's not necessarily dying, I could just end up like Elle's mom or lost in a hellverse like my brother, but it keeps me aware that no matter what else, Nica needs to stay around.
