Six: -to Okita- ...yeah. A lot of this stuff is immunological boosters and general-purpose nanomachine augmentation. Which is good, because it means you won't get sick as easily, but...
Jesus, they're nearly draconian with this. If those fuckers had tried this back home they'd get shitcanned for breaking the Dictata.
-to Lars- Not where I come from. Tuberculosis ended up being outcompeted by a methicillin-resistant strain that was incurable at the time. It was the first disease that had developed total antibiotic resistance.
A lot of people died until we managed to perfect macrophages.
-to Roy- ...You're absolutely sure about this.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Lars leaned in to look at the bill in Six's hand, and whistled. "Doesn't seem that our friend here have that particular strain you are talking about—correct me if I'm wrong."
"Not that we—", pointing to himself, "—needed it, mind. But our doctor should have some antibiotics on hand, seeing as we just came back from a doctor's roll call to off-the-grid hamlets."
" '2 of these pills twice a day, plenty of bed rest, and water. And if coughing and chest pain persists, come back in 5 days.' ", his hand mimicking someone speaking. "—Is what she would have said."
всегда веренSix: -to Roy- Fortunately, bacteria can't develop genetic resistance to being eaten. So it's not any worse than regular TB is.
-to Okita- Yeah. Very, very small robots. You'd need a microscope to even see them.
-to Lars- Oh, good.
I'm just... tuberculosis has always been antibiotic-resistant, to me. Most diseases are.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Six: -to Okita- Kurzweil's Law. Once you get smarter, and start recording more of the things you take for granted, people are able to use that to bootstrap themselves into greater levels of technological development. The more of us there are, the more knowledge we have, and the stronger computers we possess... the more we can do.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Six: -to Lars- Not very, just basic first aid and stabilization. I just know about MRSA because it was taught as the death knell of the age of antibiotics.
Antibiotic-resistant plagues very nearly started a second dark age.
Year where I come from is 2552.
-to Okita- You... you don't wear...

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."-Six stares at Asmodeus, then averts his eyes immediately-
-He seems... incredibly embarrassed by what you just said-
-Take note of this, Asmodeus, might be useful later-
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp.""Ah—I know three people who—", looking at Okita and Asmodeuys at the statement, looked up at the roof of the room and mumbled a quiet, "Hallelujah.", before turning back to Six. "Right—anyway, I know several—one, people who would love to hear from you."
"Also, we really should get them something to wear underneath."
