[Vira-Lorr was in the Luminarium, getting the last transfusions to deal with her little ... problem, thanks to Riteior. It was, as always, something of a process. But the fact that it was one of the attendants that she knew through Albert was what prompted this message. She knew that he kept to himself mostly, but given his tendency to remain in the background and out of the limelight, she did want to make sure that those who knew him would be aware in advance.]

For those who have not been made aware, and were receiving treatment from Dr Adrian Winters, formerly known as Albert Wesker, he has returned to the ocean. I know that he was of assistance to a few of us through the Luminarium, and one of my research partners. So, it seemed best to make sure that you were made aware.

I don't think that he would want a great deal of fuss made in his departure. He was a curious man in his way. But, all the same, I will miss his perspective.

To those who were at all concerned? I believe I have compiled his notes and mine on the Antidote experiments, and should be able to proceed with a refined mix next month. Also, are any of you members of the Blood Ministers? I find myself in need of a physician who I can trust and, while I appreciate the people of Trench, I still have some lingering paranoia.

it seems like so many people i know are going back to being squid.

he was helping me whenever i needed blood, since I'm a vileblood. i'm going to miss having him around.

[onerthes]

It sometimes surprises me just how long some of us remain, only to say goodbye to friends. He is a very helpful sort in that field. I know his assistant has helped me when he wasn't available, since I am vile as well. If I don't find a sleeper, I can at least pass you her contact. She's a nice woman.

[schoolingfish]

i'd like that, thanks. i was having a lot of trouble before i had a regular source of sleeper blood. i tried just drinking fish blood and that helps some, but its not enough on its own

[onerthes]

It can be difficult. I can't even offer my own, since my vileblood manifests as acidic. So, I definitely understand that limitation. It can be very tiring at times.

[ Brushing past the loss of a town doctor for the bit he actually cares about: ]

Is this an effort to recreate the antidote found in Deerington?

[ asking for no reason because he's completely fine ]

Re: un: jsims

[onerthes]

That is precisely, exactly what it is. The recreation of a similar concoction that will alleviate corruption symptoms.

My testing is clear at this point. At best, it won't be a cure, but it might alleviate corruption symptoms long enough to get someone to the Salt Lake, or to a Moon Drop or the Lunarium.

Did you want to help?

[itknowsyou]

Yes. I'll bring my collected research on corruption, and I can contribute some familiarity with the original substance. Unfortunately, my memories of Deerington have become fragmented since arriving here.

[onerthes]

I'll make use of the research in combination with the testing we did last month of the ink. It seems that only sleeper ink can be used effectively, but that shouldn't be surprising. It's essentially a use of our internal magic.

I should be able to finalize this product soon.

[Adam had been aware of the antidote efforts in Deerington, though he hadn't participated. He was far out of his depth when it came to this level of medical testing. Though it did raise a question he'd had in mind for awhile.]

With him gone, are there any non native doctors here in the Trench that you're aware of?

[He didn't have a need, not yet. Hopefully he wouldn't need to at all. But with Takashi's mission in mind, better safe than sorry.]

[onerthes]

Irene, his assistant, was one of the sleepers but had been here considerably longer, so I think you might say that she's a bit gone local, but she's trustworthy. There is also, to my knowledge Sakura Haruno

[saltyadam]

[Give him a second, he's writing these down.]

I'm always a little wary of sleepers, honestly. I'm sure I don't have to tell you all the reasons that might be. But noted regardless, thank you.

Ah, that's right. I do know Sakura, but in the context of scientific research. I wasn't aware she was also a doctor.

[onerthes]

Locals? Oh believe me. I still struggle with this, because of all those years. It's not like you and I can suddenly forget what happened, even after things are going well around here.

Well, she's medically trained, but I do not believe it is the same sort of formality of training that some worlds are skilled in. I do know that she's been offering her services with counseling. I haven't had to call on her healing skill.

[Tinya has to hold herself back from screaming at the news. part of her had loved him and that part is in agony]

I see.
Thank you for letting us know.
He will be missed.
Despite not wanting a fuss made over him, it'll happen anyway.

[onerthes]

I suspect he would be a little surprised to know of the fuss. He tended to not think of himself as one who developed close associations easily.

[unphase]

I know he didn't.
But I wouldn't be who I am here without him here.
And I think he cared for me.
Even just a little.

Though, I'm being ridiculous, making his loss all about me.
There have to be countless friends worried about him.

[onerthes]

If you can remember as you did? He cared for you. He was never the sort to let someone close that he did not care for. It's one thing about him that was special. You knew that he valued you if you spent that much time with him.

No, you really aren't. Part of this is the knowledge of the pain of loss. We share it. You're well within your rights to feel it and express it.

[fogsong]

Fucking hell. I kinda thought he'd always be around.

[onerthes]

I have grown to know that even those who have been around for incredibly long times are not guaranteed to stay. However yes. I had truly gotten accustomed to his presence and perspective.

[fogsong]

I know we should... I mean, it's always a possibility. It's not that different from death back home, I guess, but... I don't know, I kind of thought he'd stay around for me.

But I know he was having a hard time. Maybe he'll watch over my mom out there.

[survivalthroughhate]

I felt when he got taken back. He's out there even now, feeling more at peace than I've ever known him to be before.

[Better to focus on that than how sad he was right now to lose someone he'd seen as a brother.]

[onerthes]

He might just be the only person I know fully and truly at peace with what he is, and what that meant. It was a unique trait of his. I hope that he has the chance to enact the changes in his life that he wished.

[She doubted, but she hoped.]

[survivalthroughhate]

You and I have that hope in common. I shall miss how swift and deadly a predator he could be. It's rare to find someone like that who I have so much in common with.

[imaglyphwitch]

Aw...no.

I just found out Rose went back and...now Wesker too?

[Ok. Swallowing sadness. Swallowing sadness. Vira sounded like she needed help].

Are you ok?

[onerthes]

Yes and no. He was and is a good friend. I will miss him, but I have had time to process with this. It was just a little bit of a shock when I went into the Luminarium today.

I will be alright. I think a few of his friends will have a harder time.

[imaglyphwitch]

I'm glad you will. He's definitely someone I had a close relationship with for a little while.

We stopped talking when he got really busy, but I always thought I'd see him all over again soon. He'd been here since Deerington.

This is feeling pretty hard to process.
