I'll keep this short and to the point to give you guys time to strategize, catch up, all of that. Congrats on your Magatus missions. Looks like everything's been cleared out as best as we can, but the region's been evacuated thanks to a couple of factors. The new problem is we just added a bunch of people to city limits. I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news: need some people out in Pesgare to do some deepdiving and recovery. It doesn't look like there's anything out there that'll kill you, but I need something from down there to stabilize Recollé itself. Good news: got the subway working. Did you know it was just about coding? That's a little crazy to me and okay, I might have found out on accident, but…whatever was blocking exits from the city was just a false creation. It means getting out of here and checking out the progress outside. The trains will be ready for departure in about a week, I'll get some maps drawn up and everything. I could really use some of you on location scouting. Finally…who knows about machinery? We've got a problem we should probably look into, but keeping track of that eye's a huge pain in the ass. Discuss, get in touch with me, prepare. You know the drill.

Ah...

I do believe it's possible for someone to technically "die" like that and come back, though. Medically speaking.

But I'm probably better off outsourcing this to people who know what they're talking about from more than just pop culture osmosis...

@Ellen Jaguar? @BIG DECK ENERGY?

lmao i forgot abou eren's

[psykick]

yeah, pop culture osmosis is about all i have myself...

[HELLOOOOO did someone call for THIS DUMB USERNAME. Give him a minute to read over this.]

Rean's right. Sounds like you were what they call 'clinically dead', and they brought you back via resuscitation.

If it was just for a few minutes, it's not exactly out of the ball park that you can be brought back. It's just a tight window before brain damage starts to happen

[FACT CHECK HIM ON THIS, EREN. IN CASE HE MISSED SOMETHING.]

Irreversible brain damage happens after 10 minutes without blood flow, that’s why they start CPR as soon as there’s been cardiac arrest. There’s a better chance of preserving brain functions even when you’re clinically dead, and a team can keep at it for more than and hour and still bring someone back.

I think the longest CPR reported was 6 hours and 30 minutes, and the victim survived. It’s definitely possible.

[psykick]

Okay. That gives me a better idea of what might have happened to me. Being told my heart stopped for 'several minutes' is a little vague, but it does probably mean someone started CPR pretty quick.

Whether I got past that 10 minute window, I guess I'll just have to see if I can tell anything from any memories after the one I just got.

[jurai]

Signs are lookin' good, honestly. You processed someone sayin' that to you so you probably weren't in vegetable state

[usurpers]

Exactly. I wouldn’t be worried if you’re alive and still interacting with people normally. specially if it’s a memory and not here.

[psykick]

Yeah, it was definitely a memory. Looking back, my original question was kind of... vague and hard to parse. Sorry.

But thanks for answering it anyway.
