Okay, I'm setting this up as quick as I can. We need to keep track of this, the docs said, and this will be the best way to do it.
I'm adding a channel for people to post images of themselves in case there are any visible side effects.
Mike 1/04/2021 3:15 AM
Right. Should we have channels classified by days since you get the immunization?
Lisa 1/04/2021 3:16 AM
Good idea. That way people can put in details per day and we can use the time of post to build a timeline. Another channel to state when you got your shot.
Mike 1/04/2021 3:18 AM
Are you sure a chat system is the best way to do this? Why not an app for phones that collates everything?
Lisa 1/04/2021 3:19 AM
This will help people remember to do it. Socialization plus reporting.
Right, slow mode on those reporting channels. We don't want people using them to chat.
Mike 1/04/2021 3:19 AM
How did you learn all this?
Lisa 1/04/2021 3:20 AM
You know how you just kinda didn't get it?
Mike 1/04/2021 3:20 AM
Coronavirus?
Lisa 1/04/2021 3:20 AM
Right.
Well, I spent nine months locked away avoiding contact with everyone.
Got bored and started messing with stuff. You know how it was.
Mike 1/04/2021 3:38 AM
You still there?
Lisa 1/04/2021 3:39 AM
Where else would I be? Was working on a bot to handle new users and keep out spammers.

We've been expecting you Emergency Medical Hologram Mk. 2
Mike 1/04/2021 3:43 AM
Is this some kind of nerd gag?
Lisa 1/04/2021 3:44 AM
You've never watched star trek?
Mike 1/04/2021 3:47 AM
Only the new movies.
Lisa 1/04/2021 3:47 AM
🤦
Mike 1/04/2021 3:49 AM
Like I said then. Nerd stuff.
Lisa 1/04/2021 4:12 AM
Okay, this is all done. Ready for the unwashed hoards.
You're asleep, aren't you?
Subject: Department Memo
One of our testers has created a documentation and social portal for our testers to record their experiences. While it is convenient, we will not be encouraging testers to rely upon it. That said, please forward the following URL to all testers and remind them this is NOT a replacement for their daily report diaries.
—Doctor Howards
Subject: Department Memo
There was a mistake in my previous memo. There should be a 9 on the end of that URL.

Mike 1/05/2021 10:22 AM
Did you even get any sleep last night?
Lisa 1/05/2021 10:29 AM
Yeah. Kinda. You got your shot?
Mike 1/05/2021 10:31 AM
Yup. Stung like shit too. So now I go into #inoculated and make a post with the date and time I was got jabbed, right?
Lisa 1/05/2021 10:32 AM
Yeah.
Mike 1/05/2021 10:39 AM
I can't write in that chat for some reason.
Lisa 1/05/2021 10:41 AM
Shit. Right, you need to register with the bot first. Just @ it and type your patient number.
Mike 1/05/2021 10:47 AM@Emergency Medical Hologram Mk. 2 113822412021
Emergency Medical Hologram Mk. 2 1/05/2021 10:47 AM
Thank you, @Mike, your patient number is registered.
Mike 1/05/2021 10:49 AM
You spent way too much time on this.
Lisa 1/05/2021 10:50 AM
Maybe, but it works. Now you can write in the channel.
Mike 1/05/2021 10:54 AM
Shouldn't all that patient stuff be hidden to non-patients?
Lisa 1/05/2021 10:54 AM
Good point.
Okay, now it'll be hidden.
Mike 1/05/2021 11:01 AM
You wanna have lunch today?
Lisa 1/05/2021 11:06 AM
Okay.
Cool if I bring my phone? Don't want to miss new people connecting.

Welcome to COVID-19 Treatment Chat, @Rex! Please @ me and give your patient ID number.
Rex 1/05/2021 11:11 AM
Uh, hello?
Oh@Emergency Medical Hologram Mk. 2 113822472021
Emergency Medical Hologram Mk. 2 1/05/2021 11:11 AM
Thank you, @Rex, your patient number is registered.
Lisa 1/05/2021 11:12 AM
Hi, @Rex.
If you want to go ahead and put in the date and time you had your shot in #innoculated that'd be great
Rex 1/05/2021 11:14 AM
You know you spelled inoculated wrong? Only one N
Lisa 1/05/2021 11:14 AM
Ha! Nice catch.
Rex 1/05/2021 11:15 AM
So why'd you do it? Money?
Lisa 1/05/2021 11:17 AM
Yeah, a bit. Just don't want to have to keep myself locked up anymore.
There's probably a bunch more like me out there, and if this helps them it'll be worth it.
What about you?
Rex 1/05/2021 11:21 AM
Not gonna lie, this gets me out of community service.
Lisa 1/05/2021 11:23 AM
Hey, why you're here isn't as important as you helping.
Emergency Medical Hologram Mk. 2 1/05/2021 11:06 AM
Welcome to COVID-19 Treatment Chat, @Gunnar! Please @ me and give your patient ID number.
Gunnar 1/05/2021 12:13 PM
Oh, this is where the window opened.
Hi!
Lisa 1/05/2021 12:19 PM
Hi, @Gunnar, just out having lunch right now.
If you want to start leaving feedback, just follow the bot instructions.
Gunnar 1/05/2021 12:24 PM

Thank you, @Gunnar, your patient number is registered.
Gunnar 1/05/2021 12:26 PM
Cool, now I can access everything. That's pretty cool.
Subject: Department Memo
The testers are gathering together both on campus and on their online service. I took a look at it—they're using the patient numbers to track everyone, and they've got a great layout for describing any side effects or symptoms.
How did administering the retroviruphage proceed?
—Doctor Simpson
To: Dr. Karen Simpson
Subject: RE Department MemoAll patients but one have had both the retroviruphage and the live SARS-CoV-2 virus. Estimated sign of first effects should begin tomorrow for those particularly sensitive to the virus.
It's pleasing to hear that this tester project is going ahead so well. Keep an eye on them and report anything abnormal.
I'd also suggest, Karen, that you document this. Such a program might be worth a paper on its own.
—Doctor Howards
To: Dr. Peter Howards
Subject: RE Department MemoThanks, Peter. I was already in the process of documenting this. If I need to, I'll go along with the symptoms reports the others are. Don't worry, I'll document my fake ID number so the information can be removed from the results.
—Doctor Simpson
To: Dr. Karen Simpson
Subject: RE Department MemoThank you. It's a pleasure to work with such professionals.

It's clever how all the patient ID's start with 1138
Just found this, looks like a fun little thing.
As a note though, during Gunnar's section, shouldn't those two numbers be the same, since it is him entering his ID twice, the first time to the wrong @, rather than making a typo?
5307076 Gah. Fixed, thanks!
Perhaps consider moving/duplicating the navigation links at the bottom of the post?
Folks are lazy and scrolling back to the top takes like a whole two seconds of effort, you know.
Oh, I can do that!
EDIT: All done
Sooo... I didn't think the link would send me anywhere... but it did...
5395330 Ha! Yeah, kinda an AR game/chat while I was writing the fic. Just a discord server.
5395448
Sorry if it's annoying that there is a random extra name on your server now
5395459 Oh, there's a little bit of trickery to staying on the server. You need to appease the bot!
5395463
Can I enter any number that matches the pattern or is there a specific one you want me to use?
5395479 It's part of the AR game. There was a specific thing in the story someone did to bypass the bot. It will give you hints on failed attempts (eventually giving you the answer).
5395483
K! I'm going to mess around with possible numbers until I find a correct answer. This'll be fun!
