I spoke with the Admin about MN scrubbers and she said they can't be redirected. But if I can find the supplies for a safe transfusion, we can maybe have some of the healthy people here who haven't been affected by MN Poisoning donate to those who're most affected. In the worst case, they'll get a little extra endurance and lung capacity for the donation. Best case, it'll help regulate the effects of the MN.
I'm O+, but I know a lot of people don't know their blood-type. I have someone who's agreed to help, but I want to know if I can safely donate to him.
Ingenious - if it works. Of course, you are only taking into account the obvious physical symptoms of the poisoning. It may be difficult to tell who is actually unaffected, and who is merely not showing it in an obvious way.
But you are the doctor. I'm willing to do this, if we take the appropriate precautions. Who is your volunteer, and how do they feel about being sampled, so to speak?
I know I'm not manic, sick, obsessed, or in pain. Those're the ones that typically turn up, right? It's at least a place to start. And I'm clean, otherwise, from anything back home.
[Physically, anyway, and that's all that matters here.]
It's Mr. Solomons. I haven't mentioned sampling to him, yet, just asked him to try to get his blood type out of the Admin. If he can do that, brilliant. If not, I'd like a back-up.
It's a place to start. Solomons hasn't struck me as particularly inclined to such experimentation. Perhaps you know something I don't. I'll be your backup, but you'll have to do the part of talking him into letting me do it.
You aren't worried about any risk to yourself? There must be some. You are talking about jury-rigging a medical procedure.
He's really bloody tired of being sick, mate. I don't blame him. I really don't know why I haven't been affected. I've been here longer than he has, but if I can help him... it might be we can help a lot of people with this. I'm passing through the hospital. Thought I might be able to find some of the things I'd need there.
Direct blood transfusions are one of the oldest and simplest procedures. As long as I've got clean needles, there's virtually no chances anything could go wrong outside Alfie having a rolling vein and me needing to stick him a few times.
What is the status of your tablet's beacon? I've spoken to Frisk recently. Their beacon is on, while Toriel's is not, and I suspect this relates to the different speed of progression of their illness. It aligns with evidence we have from the admin's own information about the app.
Perhaps the admin would be willing to contribute needles, if nothing else. But if you're sure this is safe, and if it succeeds. Speaking of being really bloody tired of being sick. Since I am helping out, here...
It's off, and I plan on keeping it that way until I do see some sort of effect for myself. I've heard the Beacon draws anomalies. I don't want to put anyone I'm in a group with in more danger than we'll already be chancing.
[He also doesn't really trust the Admin as much as he pretends to.]
I've tried asking her for supplies, but I don't think she has anything apart from medicine. Not sure why that's easier for her to get ahold of. I am planning on expanding this if we make it work. If I can't donate immediately, we can find another healthy donor to match you up with.
That... is puzzling. I don't think the admin was misleading us on this. Do you have some other secret you're not sharing with the rest of us, doctor?
[He's not genuinely suspicious, just annoyed to have evidence stack up against yet another theory. Another set of unknown factors.]
I'll hardly ask you to pump yourself dry for my sake. I'm only aware that, if the question does arise, I'm not likely to find myself high on the town's list of people to help.
I'd need to know our blood types match up for him, as well, first. And while I know he's in a hell of a lot of pain, you're dangerous, Beckett. That's more important to get under control first. I can see about getting him more medicine if he needs it, in the interim, and we can try to set him up with another donor.
Beckett, you have my word and my honor as a man who owes you his life that I will do everything in my power to see that Rhys is given good blood to help heal him if this works.
Reckon that'd be better for him and everyone else involved. I'll contact you once I've got any other information on the supplies. Thank you for your help on this. Hopefully won't need it, but good to have a backup.
Take care of yourself and just... try to steer clear of anyone else until we get things sorted, all right? I know you're doing your best.

Come to think of it, I have no idea. It hasn't been my blood in a while.
But, come to think of it - I'd prefer to give up my turn for Rhys, if you don't object. I will understand if you object, I suppose.
