[Jesse's reporting in from the lab, for once, which probably looks a little strange for anyone seeing him in hazmat coveralls for the first time. Look at him. Professional-like. Behind him is a peek at the Initiative's futuristic chemistry equipment, but the focus is on a vial of clear liquid pinched between Jesse's fingers.]

Yo. Remember how I said like a month ago I was working on something? I finished it.

Wait - Um, backing this up a little in case you missed it. We got word a few months back that the U.E.'s been drugging their people with something called verstatsi. A lotta the Exiles that turned up here ended up sick 'cause they couldn't get their fix. A lotta them were dying from the withdrawal. It was pretty bad.

Anyways, I was developing an anti-addictive drug. We tested it this week.

[He taps the vial he's holding, looking pretty proud of himself.]

It's working. Everybody we gave it to stabilized in like under two hours. Cravings totally gone, symptoms gone. And the dose is only once a day, which - if you've ever been on methadone - that is huge, okay.

I know a lotta you are probably like, "Who cares? I'm not a junkie anyway." No, seriously, this shit? This could save your life if the U.E. ever captures you. This is big. We're gonna keep testing it, but I'm making sure the clinic gets stocked A.S.A.P., yo. All my research notes'll be there along with it so I don't gotta sit here explaining science to you for three hours. Everything about dosage... Recipe, too, in case anything happens to me.

So... Yeah. And thanks to Vanadi and Rin for helping me out with getting chemicals. We totally did it, you guys.

*Someone looks thoughtful. As much as the idea of drugging one's people disgusts him, Margulis isn't going to let the anger keep him from thinking rationally about what to do about it.*

Could this be used to undermine the U.E.'s control over its citizens as well?

Jesse, that's -- that's fantastic news!
whatsupcroc: (☇ smile: I know you tried)

How much can we make, with what you and Rin and Vanadi got away with?

Does it only work on the effects of this...verstatsi?

It seems like you've been working hard.

[personal profile] no_strings_attached 2013-05-16 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Important tasks do feel like that at times. You should celebrate!
dawningsun: (But I let you inside)

[personal profile] dawningsun 2013-05-16 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
I take it you mean to imply chemicals only, then?
dawningsun: (and hold your head up high)

[...humans.]

There is. Those of my kind...for the most part, that is...suffer if we do not obtain magic.

Though I suppose that some of us have our own drug vices, as well.

[Not that Kirian would know not at all]

Sounds promising.

Not the type to celebrate? So responsible.

I am intrigued to hear what you have in mind.

[THIS GON B GOOD]

[personal profile] no_strings_attached 2013-05-16 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I see. That's a shame. You've done a big thing.
dawningsun: (I wanna push you back down)

...and how might you accomplish that?
