If the pod fluids are infected, they'd have to be infected prior to jump-drive use. Same goes with clones. If there actually is anything to this, it'd have to be a matter of infecting the capsuleer ahead of time, the jump-drive activations triggering the effects in question.

Vitoxin will not spontaneously appear in clones nor pod fluid through jump-drive use.

I'm a bit perturbed by a tentative voice of support, and further support in uncovering any real threat to those of us fighting on the same side being met with such immediate hostility, though. Perhaps I should be less eager to support kin of old in the future.

And where's the papers? If you claim that Vitoxin remnants are the cause for Jump Fatigue, you need to provide the research papers that contain the experiment methods and the data!

And I know an adage from some of history's greatest thinkers:

"Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence"

Vitoc, the treatment, has to be injected to work.

Vitoxin virus, however, can be introduced into the body by injection, ingestion or, in their weaponised form, inhalation. This is why many precautions need to be taken before the virus can be research and why, even despite the precautions, some researchers are still infected.

Indeed.

Oh, you are a real party animal, aren't you?

Don't worry, fellow space friends - there's a reasonable explanation for all of this!

This is actually a rare case of CONCORD catching a potential capsuleer-specific medical issue before it resulted in serious problems. Recent research by DED medical researchers discovered that repeated and frequent use of jump drives within a short time period was causing very serious, compounding neurosynaptic strain. I mean, I'm sure all of us who've used jump drives are familiar with how jarring the experience can be, and have suffered the occasional migraine afterwards, but this is on a whole different level. We're talking possible permanent brain damage, impaired memory, perceptional defects, social complications - CONCORD's capsule firmware upgrade seems fairly drastic and unneccessary to me, but there is at least a firm reasoning behind it.

But I mean, you should all already know this - you all schedule time to read the weekly science periodicals CONCORD sends us, right?

Yesterday I submitted over fifty samples to an Duvolle Laboratories facility for extensive testing. These biological samples were gathered from a range of ships in both my own hangars and those of other pilots. The intent of course was to establish the beginnings of a database for which to assess the possible extent of the issue. Naturally, I chose a non-Minmatar institution to reduce the inevitable claims of bias that would follow any findings by Matari science.

Unfortunately, the tests have not been run as the samples were rejected by the lab. Apparently the Gallentean researchers lack the constitution to handle fifty Fedo's and complained excessively about the smell when they opened the transit cages. It is a shame really, those Fedo's have been licking decks clean of pod goo residues for years and are undoubtedly loaded with the stuff.

Would you mind to clarify what did you mean wth that statement?



If you Matars can take advice from Caldari....

never trust Gallenteans... You should try with Caldari Research labs at least you would be sure that they will treat the matter more seriously.

I need to dissapoint you but as I'm from scientist family I'm not scientist myself - I'm military pilot.

although maybe my brother Manweru will be able to help you... ah wait, he was never patient enought for this I suppose that he will be capable of this.

Darn I should check on him more often so I would not have such problems [smiles]

wait I should be capable of having someone running those researches for you bring those fedos to my Squadron's HQ at Hentoigara - although you need to hurry we are moving with HQ soon.
