yeah. could be she was trait:negative and was made positive. like, what if she has a lower count of something and that's desirable? (like NOT having hugely high blood sugar is desirable

)

Claflina:
This begs the question - low levels of WHAT are important?
...That, my dear, is he million dollar question. There is not enough info here. We don't even have any units on the graph....another goose chase perhaps?
I totally agree with your view point though because right now we have no way of knowing if less=trait negative or if more= trait negative.
I keep feeling like we just aren't getting enough info about this whole trait thing. We might have to wait until they choose to share with the rest of the contents from the box.

9/11/06 is the day after the House arrest video, the first one in which Bree has a bandage on her arm.
10/30/06 is the date of the Thanks Gemma video.
Right after that, she decides not to do the ceremony and her parents talk to the Deacon. We can assume the injections stopped at that time.
Any thoughts?
Well I have no idea what the numbers on the graph represent, but Julia was trait negative at 15.2pg/mL. And then were not exactly sure if that's low, high, whatever. Just thought i'd throw it out there for possible comparison.

That is a horrible bar graph!! None of the axis are labeled! And they call themselves scientists...
But seriously, it looks like Bree was still trait + at (I'm guessing) 85pg/mL. She started out with 520, so what her father was doing definately seemed to be working! It just needed more time...

Uh... know what's weird? When I first saw your post above, instead of seeing the graph, I instead saw a cartoon picture of a girl (from the head up) with a streak of white through her dark hair, which was flowing out behind her. Then I refreshed and saw the graph instead.
Let's all watch me freak out now.
Am I the only one?
PS. Nice graph, Marla! (as I refresh over and over to try to see the girl-pic again.)

Phew.

The average decline per shot in the trait is about 30%. If this average holds, one more shot would put her at about the 60 level. To get her as low as Julia's 15 would require five more shots. Of course this is assuming that the function follows a geometric pattern, which is suggested by the shape of the graph. If it's linear then one more shot would probably get her below 15.
Also, even though we know Julia was trait negative at 15, and Bree is still positive at 85, we don't really know at what point she would become negative (e.g. it could be below 20 as much as it could be below 80).

Based on Deagol's post, I had a thought. I know, I know...its pretty amazing of me to even have a glimmer of one so bear with me.
In the absence of these shots, could her trait count have risen again? Would they have to start over again from the very beginning in order to lower her trait count, or would it simply stay at its level? I mean, she hasn't had these shots in months and isn't is possible that whatever trait/level they were trying to lower has risen again?

z i think it would depend on if the shot was a permanent thing or just temporary for the moment

Or the HoO could be giving her anti-shots to bring her back up to 500.

That might be what the "she's being prepared" message in Follow Your Happiness was about.
