To Those Who May Care: A Request

[Enkidu]

***Incoming transmission***
***Impending***---Unpacking---

“For the sake of brevity, I’ll be brief.


“Well from my current position at ’9 it’s unlikely I’d be of any usage to anyone, expecially not the patient. Not directly. Besides, I’m not an enormous enthusiast of sending pieces of genetic code through the neural net at any one time due to the obvious ethical breach that would entail, Holiday.”

*Appears uncharacteristically irritated*

“Whatever it may say in your laudable journal, doctor, advanced leukaemia is (despite any evidence to the contrary) treatable in certain tiers of Sirian society due to the miracles of modernity; twelfth generation immunosuppressant drugs and the wonders of the nanite. Granted, these procedures are... morbidly expensive and somewhat class-biased, but I assumed the grandiose medical establishment of Gran Canaria would be able to circumnavigate these predicaments for the sake of... well anyone. Oh and being a mother, a daughter or anything else for that matter shouldn’t be critical or even a factor in the medical profession.”

*Grimaces,*

“Enough of that anyway, I’ve already dispatched five cartloads of high-end Gallic pharmaceutical goods to Gran Canaria by the next ZXBT down Taus. As you didn’t actually state... excuse me...”

*the screen blanks off for a moment*

“...The particular format which leukaemia is present within the subject, I’ve effectively transmitted sufficient supplies to drug a horse. In the transfer is a package of high-end medicinal nanites, now I’m feeling particularly generous oui?”

“...Don’t pay me. Just treat the subject”.

“...Oh and I also advise the individuals not to transfer their entire genetic history under the entire eyes of Sirius...”

“...But of course. Drop the drink and contribute.”

*realises something*

"Just a small query doctor. In Sirius daily, 1.2 billion people die of terminal illness, and more violently. Cancerous diseases (such as leukaemia) are common parlance and are treated commonly. It comes with the territory of wilfully bombarding yourself with solar radiation every time you leave the pad... of a sector where the primary power source is nuclear... all of those things.

Not being rude doctor but what makes this patient special enough for a Sirian-wide high band neuralnet transmission in her favour? For this patient, I’m curious what your intrest is... as a humanitarian."

"Of course you don't have to reply".

"Just stop the cancer, Oui?
