Deagol, TOSG and janesalteredstates (janeAFK) from the chat:
<deagol> well i cant make sense of the note in McP's maildrop
<TOSG> what do you mean?
<deagol> it was sent by trav, right?
<TOSG> no, I mean, what maildrop, what note?
<deagol> the note says, "WD THERE HAS BEEN AN INCIDENT STOP WHAT HAPPENED TO THE J NINETEEN STOP"
<TOSG> when was this?
<deagol> the parcel that was sent to McP
<deagol>
http://lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6195
<TOSG> ohhh, right
<TOSG> yeah, I don
<TOSG> 't know, very interesting
<deagol> was he saying that to WD?
<TOSG> could be. Or maybe it was from WD?
<deagol> yea, either way, why would he send that to McP?
<TOSG> good question
<deagol> here's walt talking about trav: "It looks like the kid has been somewhat successful, even if altogether reckless. I didn 2019t expect any better of him. Quite frankly I didn 2019t think that he was competent for this job, but he is all I have. The same goes for you."
<deagol> then some more dissing: "So neither I nor the youngster nor any one of you can complete the task alone. The kid told me he had some success on the computer, and this is where we are now. Maybe we can work together in the future, assuming you aren 2019t screw-ups like he is."
<TOSG> yeah...hmm. Maybe TJ19 was temporarily in "custody" of the J19, and he messed something up...maybe that's why they're being sent to us in the first place?
<JaneAFK> Is J19 the chemical?
<deagol> i think its interesting that WD thinks TJ is reckless, incompetent, and a screw-up
<JaneAFK> Or I should say, what is J19
<TOSG> well, I don't know...it seems like they're "the cure," as you discovered, but who knows what that means
<JaneAFK> The Cure makes me think of Nazis or something. Like Curing humanity of something. Not a cure for a disease. I don't know why.
<JaneAFK> I'm probably just holding on to Walter being a "good guy."
<TOSG> I think he prolly is
<TOSG> I mean, why else would he show his cards so soon?
<TOSG> there are still plenty more J-vials that must be destroyed...
<JaneAFK> Yeah and if he is working for The Order, why the need to stay under the radar?
<JaneAFK> I mean, who is he hiding from
<JaneAFK> And why would he need our help
* JaneAFK is now known as JaneAFKish
* JaneAFKish has quit IRC
<TOSG> Jane: good point, he could prolly just split up the J-vials among his order friends
<deagol> aww jane dont quit when youre ahead

<TOSG> hehe
<deagol> tosg, when i read about xscid i remember something like the only genetic cure found so far
<TOSG> yeah, I remember seeing something along those lines, too
<TOSG> hmmm
<deagol> and something about bone marrow transplant
<deagol> does that mean there's a specific gene sequence to cure each individual?
<TOSG> I tend to think, though, that the plot won't be THAT based in reality
<deagol> like, you have to find a matching donor?
<TOSG> for the marrow transplant?
<deagol> yea
<TOSG> I guess you could say that
<TOSG> although I think it's prolly way more than one gene
<deagol> yea... i couldnt think of the right way to phrase that
<TOSG> but yeah, I'd think it'd have to be a match
<TOSG> although
<deagol> what im thinking is, they've been playing with bioengineered humans/clones/whatever, but they've all come out with XSCID...
<deagol> so they had these 19 samples of bone marrow to cure them ?
<TOSG> that's actually kind of an interesting thought...usually, it needs to be a match because the immune system will reject it otherwise, but people with XSCID have a compromised immune system in the first place...interesting
<deagol> so WD is trying to destroy the cure so the clones die?
<TOSG> interesting idea
<deagol>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSCID#Treatment
<deagol> so, the bone marrow tranplant was the old treatment
<deagol> and now they've found success with gene therapy
<TOSG> read it...interesting
<deagol> and this i quoted in the forums: "Trial treatments of SCID have been gene therapy's only success; since 1999, gene therapy has restored the immune systems of at least 17 children with two forms (ADA-SCID and X-SCID) of the disorder."
<TOSG> maybe in trying (and succeeding) to find a better cure for XSCID, they found a way to alter the human genome at will, thereby opening pandora''s box
<deagol> oh damn that bubble kid caught herpes from his sister's transplant

<TOSG> aww.
<deagol> epstein-barr virus, right?
<TOSG> "herpes" and "sister" in the same sentence can't lead to too many happy endings that I can think of

<deagol> lol
<TOSG> is herpes EBV? I know that mono is
<deagol>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein-Barr
<deagol> yea i guess it was mono then... but it says "herpes family"
<deagol> theres that awkward connection of words again
<TOSG> ahahaha
Wow. So we may be destroying the cure for XSCID - but only specific to certain individuals who may be Order Clones!
