[The face of a man about sixty-five years old appears on screen. He's squinting at the blasted device through glasses that he's very glad he kept, but he would still struggle to make a text post at the moment---not with his old prescription. The voice is rougher, but still recognizable as Billy's to the few people he knows.]

Please answer this question for me: it's urgent.

Is extreme accelerated aging a known side effect of the transporter? I have several other hypotheses about my sudden condition, but this is the first I should test. And if you know of any cures for this condition, I'd appreciate a pointer. I'm drawing up my own attempts at a cure, but there's not much I can do with our limited supplies.

[He sighs wearily.]

I calculate that I'll age to the point of death within the next 36 hours, or sooner if it accelerates further, so there's not much that I have to lose.

((ooc: The aging is a canon event caused by his own tinkering at home gone wrong with a delayed reaction. And there's a canon medicine that would likely be at the Hold, but he hasn't a clue.))

[Wonderful, now Lee's going to wonder the same thing now since he appears a lot younger than his chronological age. Best not to assume or he'll get wrinkles too.]

Not that I am aware of though the concern is relatively alarming.

It's happened to me and other people before...
You should tell the scientists at the Initiative really quick! I think they're the only ones who can actually do something about it.

[Oh no.

OH. SHIT. NO.

Not this again. The last time this happened, they barely managed to get the cure to him. Then again, Billy was pulled after being rejected by the Gold Ranger powers. Why didn't he remember this part now?!]

[Holy crap that's just what they needed.]

How long ago have you arrived, when did this start to happen, how old were you to begin with?
