The People United Will Never Be Defeated!

[justabignobody]

Characters: Everyone interested in getting back into their body
Setting: 9/18, after this post (may be extended to following days)
Format: Action, prose, whatever you'd like to go with!
Summary: Dax Is A Bro and left a clue. Now it's up to the Tower residence to unite and figure it out.
Warnings: None as of yet, will be adapted as needed.

[After making that post - the first he is aware of - Riku just sighs (one that turns into a cough all of sudden... don't tell him he's coming down with something on top of everything else?!).

There is really no telling how many people will follow his call out, but hopefully there will be some at least. And hopefully they will have more idea what this clue means than he does.

He turns his seat towards the entrance of the floor. Time to see who would turn up.]

Let's-figure-this-out-party (9/18)

[powerforfriends]

[Let's put our heads together!]

Theory #01254

[thisisdisastrous]

I have watched this video many time, and I believe I have figured one path we can take to solve this issue! Obviously we are all terribly affected by this terrible event, and we need to solve it quickly, in which case we will die! Obviously this is a worse case scenario, we may as well simply have our psyche and bodies damaged beyond repair, and then be left to live empty lives for all eternity!

[ Hello, this android acting out of character? That's totally Doctor Emmett Brown. ]

We need the liquid Jason has been using on these poor children- I suspect the same has been done to us. If two individuals who have been experimented on by Jason were to do the exact same thing again, then one can theorize we would be back in our normal bodies! All the side-effects would end once we would be back home, so to say!

[ Doc pauses and looks around, nobody has paper and pen over here? ]

There are many issues that have to be solved though, I'm afraid. For one we do not have that substance, and I'm theorizing this may be a substance similar to that contained in our collar so we may be facing an impossibility!

And would we be to get our hands on the substance, we need to find which color needs to be injected in which one of us, and once more I suppose this is linked to our collars! I suspect this step can be easilly solved through logic.

[dragonspooker]

...and how do you propose we figure out which substance is the one we need, huh? Trial and error? Who in their right mind is gonna step up to be a guinea pig to figuring that out?

[thisisdisastrous]

I never suggested we go that far! I believe we may have some time to find which substance we need. But would we fail to scientifically deduce a way out of this situation, I know I am volunteer if need be!

[savedbyasong]

[Shion has pen and paper! He also isn't body swapped but Reno is and so he will do everything in his power to fix this.

He writes down what the girl is saying.] If it is a similar substance to that in our collars we might find some in the infirmary. [Maybe? He hadn't found any during June but since the tower was now actually working...]

[thisisdisastrous]

Yes! I hadn't thought about it, but there are good chances for us to find the substances in the infirmary, some of us should go check it out!

If we do not find anything there then we should check on the colorless collared drones as I have suggested to Suzaku, or whoever inhabits his body! The retrieval drones should be the very last option!

[ This is all very confusing. ]

volunteering for guinea pig duty :V

[fractus_animus]

[ Minato has been quiet for a majority of all that has been said and it's only after Sertoria (in Doc's body) says she will volunteer that he finally speaks up. ]

I seem to be one of the few who's still their own self... therefore, I'm volunteering as a guinea pig if you really need one.

[ As anyone who knows Minato knows that being injected again by horrible things is the last thing he wants out of life, this is actually an extremely courageous and selfless thing to put up to. His fingers are brushing the back of his neck under his hair near his collar even as he speaks out of old memories and an older scar, of sorts. ]

A lot of people are switched, but if you'd find a use for someone who hasn't been, I'll be here.

[ He pauses. ]

... As for the drones, they don't show up unless someone is causing trouble, usually. We're going to need a better plan there.

this kid should have never met Reno...

[savedbyasong]

So we need to make trouble, enough of us that we will be able to investigate the drone, they are strong... [He had been killed by them once... Tried to kill them once...]

But if there were a lot of us we could probably hold one long enough to see if they had the vials.

Location?

[dreamingmessiah]

[Aleph clears his throat.]

I did a bit of searching. It looks like 3-15 is the place where the switches occurred, since the beds there are in that position. I think a more thorough sweep of the room would help.

[loudenthusiasticsacrifice]

Mister Jason wants to make us all break down. He's a really bad person... but someone must have shown the video, maybe it was Zo. He is sometimes nice because he's just a kid. Maybe we could see if he can help us!

[He speaks out, a little more confident in this adult body then he ever was in his own.]

[warriorscribe]

*This person was clearly younger than their body...It was clear from the video that Jason spared no one for their age.*

But we couldn't reach him without Jason knowing...and if he were to help us, he would be put at risk, himself.

[loudenthusiasticsacrifice]

I guess... I don't want him to get hurt... [He thinks for a moment] I already asked mister Jason if there was anything we could do to make him stop and he said no...

Terminals, terminals, terminals.

[sageprincess]

[The Princess hesitates a moment before speaking up. This is hardly her area of expertise, but she also can't get the idea out of her head...]

Has anyone with a great deal of skill regarding the terminals attempted to mimic what Jason did in the video? Obviously, we do not currently have access to the terminal he used, but perhaps the process could be replicated in a different location.

[wrongsin]

[April had remained quiet and stayed in the background, content with listening and seeing if she can think up anything. This, however, does prompt her to hesitantly speak up.]

Um... I'm pretty good with computers, so I could give it a try.

[sawthelockdown]

[...
...

Yeah, it's pretty obvious that ain't her cousin in there. Still, it's weird...

As she's not much of a techie, though, she stays quiet with regards to the tech stuff. Besides, she needs to do her own thing, eventually. She knows that.]

[hermitofzero]

It's a clear enough shot, so it would be that hard to mimic what he was doing. I could help out, but it looks like whatever we're gonna need is inside one or more of the drones. Even getting access to it would just be the first step.

[Well hey, Jin was practically a goddamn veteran at science and computers at this point. Might as well do something to piss Jason off.]

[dialectics]

[ Have a robot, guys! Wearing a violet collar. ]

We would be able to replicate the effect as long as the materials used were within our grasp. We have downloaded and recorded this video into our memory banks, and will be able to repeat it as often as needed.

Replication of this task would seem to require administrative access. In short, it is possible we may need to hack one of the public Terminal systems. We can do this from a distance and it should also be no trouble for our programming.

[eikichibegood]

[Hey looks it's Eikichi in Marty's body! He stares at the screen silently as the video plays, stroking his chin. Mom always told him to observe everything around...the way the things are moving...what's on the DISPLAY SCREEN...]

Hey...

[Holy crap, he needs to note this down. Well the advantage of having a drawing pad? You also had pencils. He goes into the library and takes out a book, scribing notes as he watches it again, before finding a color wheel chart and ripping it out.]

You son of a bitch, I had a feeling...Yo! I think I got something! Dunno how we can make it work but...

[He holds up a few notes, and brands the light-based color wheel besides it.]

2 Red + 2 Green = Yellow
2 Red + 2 Blue = Violet
? 2 Red + 1 green = Orange
? Green = Green (x2)
? Blue = Blue (x2)
? Indigo = Blue

Small kid guy
Red = 1 full .16 quarts + .11 quarts (.16+.11=.27)
Green = 1 full .16 + .11 quarts (.16+.11=.27)

Other kid
Red = .11 quarts + 05 quarts (.11+.05=.16) wait...the fuck why did he just not use one full dose?
Blue = 1 full .16quarts + .11 quarts (.16+.11=.27)

1 Red + 2 Blue = Violet after all? Maybe there's a special need to use two syringes...

the hell is a quart anyway

? 0.27 quarts of Red + .16 quarts green = Orange
? 0.27 quarts Green = Green
? 0.27 quarts Blue = Blue
? 0.16 quarts Blue = Indigo

[EIKICHI YOUR ARTIST SKILLS AND COLOR THEORY YOUR MOM DRILLED INTO YOUR HEAD ARE BEING PUT INTO GOOD USE.]

[nemophila]

[Wow holy shit Eikichi, Jun's impressed. Maybe it was that new brain helping you out.]

A quart is a measurement they use in the American system. I guess some things about this world aren't that foreign....

[Well. Relatively speaking.]

[eikichibegood]

...are you saying Jason might be American? Like..Canadian or from the United States or...man think it Mexico under that? Mexican?

[empathetically]

Quarts, huh. It figures they have to use a stupid American unit.

[ Even though Haruhi Suzumiya wasn't American, she knew how to convert quarts into sho (the Japanese unit measurement) and into liters.

Taking out a scrap of paper from her small notebook, she manages to write down the conversions. ]

Anyway, for those who aren't familiar with quarts, I guess we should convert everything into liters.

Red (1):
0.16 quarts = 0.15 liters
0.11 quarts = 0.10 liters

Green (1):
0.16 quarts = 0.15 liters
0.11 quarts = 0.10 liters

Red:
0.11 quarts = 0.104099 liters
5 quarts = 4.73 liters

Blue (2):
0.16 quarts = 0.15 liters
0.11 quarts = 0.10 liters

Also, it looks like the .27 quarts seems to show up in both. Though for the other guy, it seems to be .16 and .27 instead of .27 and .27 quarts.

[eikichibegood]

It's a half-dose. Makes sense in its own twisted way.

A full dose of red would have given him magenta instead of violet.

[starstuck]

[Holy shit, thank you Eikichi.]

So it was the collars. [...Hmm, although.]

How are we gonna get the stuff to switch them back?

[eikichibegood]

No idea yet. Or how we even get the liquid in the first place.

[homurosa]

[Rosa peers over at the chart.]

Quite a thorough analysis. It almost feels like a logic puzzle.
