She worked from home most of the time anyway, being forced to do so seemed like not that big of a deal. When the chance to help end the outbreak was presented, she went for it, and got back more than a footnote in history in return.

Similar question popped in my head when I heard of people said why they are against wearing mask in public. They don't afraid the virus? That's their prerogative. But if they become infect and later cause others to become infected as well? That's definitely not within their so-called right. I heard there was a case where an aids patient was sentenced to jail because he/she infected others.
Yeah BonBon! Don't become the next Typhoid Mary!
Interesting how they say the different facilities must not come into contact with one another. Why? Even if the "vaccine" they tested was different (maybe?) there's been no sign of infection issues in-between the patients.
Besides, they're still thinking in human terms. With some effort it shouldn't be too difficult to set up a teleportation hole...
Still, would need to get in contact with the other directors. Progress can't be made of nobody is allowed to talk!
Besides, what are the other directors' efforts? They're pacifiers, increasing friendship potential should help that! Sure, they probably don't have a noodle to smooth things out, but they can hardly be under any more stress that Eri put the last guy through.... Right?
First off, Twilight, Needles don't go in the trash, they go in a very specific disposal bin.
Second, Eri, you are a literal God. You are not "doing everything you can" because you could literally snap the infection away. You're just dodging the real conversation that needs to be had about integration.

That might cause some long-running cascading repercussions though, if you think about it. I think they addressed it in a previous chapter. Why not just snap the disease away? Why not just snap -all- diseases away? Why not stop ossification and cellular death and failure of regeneration?
<_>

The justification here is that no one else is actually working on it. All the other humans have moved on. It's not something any of them are looking to solve. The executives here are more than happy to make them live their entire lives out in solitude.
10524386
Well, they're a pharmaceutical, and making serious bank on the hype and apparently overblown 100% success rate of the vaccine. Congrats! You're never going to get sick again!
(but uh, if you didn't get supremely lucky and turn into something furry or something, then you're technically dead. <_<)
So no reason why not to bask in the potential billions in future contracts and the sort, while spending a few mill on keeping a few "technically no-long human by definition" underground somewhere. Bonus! A too-scared goddess is on the payroll!
Yeah better approve those vacation days.
10524388
Sounds like quite the recipe for a disaster...not to mention the legal battles involved. Declaring someone dead wrongly is certain to get medical licenses revoked. Not to mention damages and loss of belongings. Contract or not the company is quite liable for the damages and have broken countless laws already. They’re gonna get their ass handed to them in court for malpractice, abuse of patients, medical forgery, illegal experimentation, inhumane conditions, among so many other things.
10524391
Not sure you could get 'inhumane conditions' tacked on there in their 5/5 rated hotel experience, all amenities included.

First rule of biology: you do not cross-contaminate your specimens. The only exception is when you want to see of cross-contamination yields unique results, and that case that experiment will happen in its own isolation.
10524386
Eri snapping it won't stop that though. Eri snapping it just mean everyone wants to know how it works and how to replicate it. Or worse, expand the experiment because "hey! We got a fix!" but ignored that the fix relies on one specific person who can disappear for any number of reasons.
10524461
Shining could. Getting tied up and beaten for no reason and all.
10524870
That is true, but that's also been fixed and Shining wouldn't be the one filing said report, seeing as he's mostly happy with his lady friends.
10524870
The problem is, the experiment is over. There's no more point in keeping them separated now that they're "done".
That would be like experimenting with a cross-breed between horse and pony. Whoops! It worked! Better not let it come into contact with anything else ever forever....
10525007
That is a mighty assumption on the nature and scope of the different facilities.
10525069
Just looking for excuses to cause chaos. 😇
10525069
Part of me is suspecting the other facilities are housing something far more horrifying than extra Equestrians.
The cutesie answer is, yeah, there's another facility with Princess Celestia and Chiffron Swirl and whoever else is missing to complete the cast.
This story has been many things. Intriguing and suspenseful among them. Cutesie? No.
10525007
Just because they aren't bothering finding a cure for them doesn't mean they've stopped being valuable specimens. There's a reason the facilities have zero privacy: every little thing their test subjects do is observed, scrutinized and catalogued just in case anything could help pin down the problem with ponid.
I'm pretty sure Twilight's experiments are watched with extra scrutiny for much that reason: she and her team are pretty close to a completely unique breakthrough in genetic manipulation, which is exactly what the experiment is struggling with.
10525515
Observed? Sure! Controlled? Haha no. Experiments' usefulness degrades extremely fast if you're not testing, moreso without a control. Otherwise you might as well be sciencing the effect of captivity on humans turned non-human, which is only mildly more interesting than the effect of isolation on a standard human.
Point is, there's more to be gained by mixing two chemicals together and seeing what happens than looking at them inside a box seperately. Keep a set of chemicals in their own boxes, why not, but you can't tell us that doing nothing is more helpful than doing something.
But another thing is it seems to us your taking an "all or nothing" approach. There's no reason you can't exchange an isolated group and keep the rest of the original group isolated from each other, unless you're casting doubt on the isolation protocols of each facility (which would make the argument of "they gotta be isolated!" mu), and in that case the best of all scenarios presents itself: more science maintaining control!
If "the first rule of biology: you do not cross-contaminate your specimens" was ever a factor (which, let's be real, they wouldn't have allowed physical interaction in the first place if it was), then there's no reason it can't be maintained while starting the next experiment.
Actually, that does bring up a good question: what did they do with Eri's house when she popped in and contaminated it with her presence? The many times she's reached across to grab things elsewhere surely weren't following isolation protocol in the slightest either...

Observation is an experiment in and of itself. The "specimen" in this case is the facility as a whole. The scientists are aware Ponid changes people down to the personality, as well as gives them new and unique skills. Letting them interact in a controlled environment allows the scientists to observe how the changes influence each subject, and allowing for social interaction within the environment allows the subjects to bounce off each other and generate different interactions and different results out of it. In this social experiment, the reason why you don't want them to interact with others from a different facility -from an experimental point of view- is that those might have different experiences, and any subject from this facility having an interaction with that different experience will be changed by that interaction, 'contaminating' the specimen as a result.
Yes, you could have them interact and put them in a different, new isolation. I pointed that out myself as well. But that would make Bon Bon's problem worse. Bon Bon's problem is that she is, in essence, a prisoner. Letting her interact with a new facility would be a terrible idea, because then she is going to be cut off from her friends in this facility and isolated with the few she interacted with in the other facility, which would make her feel even more of a prisoner.
10526002
😈 precisely the point.
10526366
Ah, touché. Poor Bon Bon is going to hate you for this.
10526595
She's a rational adult who should take responsibility for her actions. Consequences come regardless of desire, and she seems determined to not think things through.
...perhaps we're channeling the djinn a little too hard... 😇
