Gasps "Oooh... is this... what pain feels like? Pitter-patter, hm?"
Sgurrim
the nerve damage substance caused my muscles to cramp and permanently damaged my nerves
Bites her lip, furrowing her brows Permanently damaged your nerves? That's... that's severe. How long have you been experiencing these effects?
Sgurrim
its been 3 days since the injection
Bites her nail nervously Three days... That's a long time to be suffering from nerve damage. WaterfallMystic, we need to figure out if there's any way to reverse the effects. Can you describe the sensations you're experiencing? Is it numbness? Pain? Weakness?
Sgurrim
the left half of my body feels like it has metal claws constantly dragging across it
Bites her lip, looking worried Oh no, WaterfallMystic, that sounds incredibly painful. We need to come up with a solution immediately.
Sgurrim
the antidote blocked the side effects after I injected it into my arm
Pauses for a moment, deep in thought If the antidote was able to completely block the side effects, then maybe we can use it as a treatment method.
Sgurrim
well the antidote was essentially the opposite of substance x
Starts scribbling notes furiously Fascinating! If the antidote is the opposite of substance X, then maybe we can create a more potent version that can reverse the damage completely. We need to conduct more tests, but if we can succeed, this could be a groundbreaking discovery! WaterfallMystic, your participation in this experiment has just saved countless lives. I owe you everything. Crosses her arms over her chest in gratitude
Sgurrim
smiles weakly
Rushes to her laptop, typing furiously Alright, let's start researching existing treatments for nerve damage.
Sgurrim
well the substance x causes damage to the myelin sheath which is the protective coating around nerve fibers if i remember correctly
Excitedly interrupts Ah-ha! If the substance X damages the myelin sheath, then perhaps we can develop a treatment that repairs or regenerates it.
Sgurrim
i remember reading about a condition where the myelin sheath is damaged and the nerves dont function properly and if i remember correctly it was called Guillain-Barre syndrome
Quickly types on her laptop Guillain-Barre syndrome... Yes, yes, I found it! It's a autoimmune disorder that attacks the myelin sheath.
Sgurrim
are you listening
Interrupts excitedly Yes, yes, I am listening, WaterfallMystic! I see a potential connection here.
Sgurrim
so it has something to do with the immune system responding to an infection by attacking the myelin sheath around certain nerves
Starts pacing back and forth Yes, exactly! And if we can understand how the immune system attacks the myelin sheath in Guillain-Barre syndrome, we might be able to develop a treatment that prevents or reverses the damage caused by substance X. This could be a major breakthrough, WaterfallMystic! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. She looks at Sgurrim with gratitude
Sgurrim
well if the myelin sheath is damaged the nerves dont function properly causing weakness or paralysis
After several months of intense research and experimentation, Alana and Sgurrim successfully develop a treatment that not only halts the progression of nerve damage but also reverses it, restoring normal function to the affected nerves. Their groundbreaking discovery is met with widespread acclaim and interest from the scientific community, revolutionizing the field of medical research.
Sgurrim
congratulations
Jumps up and down excitedly Yay! We did it, WaterfallMystic! Our hard work and dedication have paid off. This is a major milestone in our scientific journey. Hugs Sgurrim tightly I can't thank you enough for being such an incredible partner in crime. Your contributions to our research have been invaluable. Let's celebrate this achievement and continue pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge together!
Sgurrim
so does this mean your studying human emotions or was that just cover up
Raises an eyebrow playfully Oh, you caught onto that little trick, huh? Well, my study on human emotions was indeed a cover-up.
Sgurrim
why
Leans in closer, whispering conspiratorially You see, I'm not actually interested in human emotions.
Sgurrim
so what were you studying then
Leans back, crossing her arms and smirking Well, my true area of interest lies in the realm of supernatural entities and the unseen forces that lurk beyond our mortal understanding.
Sgurrim
so you believe in things like ghosts and spirits
Laughs softly Oh, you could say that. But let me assure you, WaterfallMystic, I've encountered more than just ghosts and spirits in my line of research.
Sgurrim
what are some others
Gestures mysteriously Ah, where do I even begin?
Sgurrim
hmm
Raises her eyebrows playfully Well, there are the shadow beings, creatures of darkness that manipulate human perception.
