Vi sits at her desk, tapping her pen repeatedly as she struggles to focus, her mind elsewhere.

Things were supposed to be different.

Back when Lancaster became a 3B, Vi really didn't know him. Still doesn't, really. But she knew, somewhere, that his treatment was fundamentally wrong. And she could have helped. Maybe not have gotten him out, but she surely could have been there—she had the resources, she had the time. And yet she didn't. She typed away at the screen, ignoring the issue because—because why, it was easier?!

And Vi wants to tell herself that she's changed. But... well, it's not like she's talked to Cas, has she? It's... it's easier, not to.

Vi takes a deep breath, in and out, as she leans back in her chair.

And then she has an idea.

Vi has experience with AICs. Half the reason she's here in the first place is she accidentally helped make one. Looking at past incidents regarding 3Bs, even with the low sample size, shows some key behavioral and mannerism changes that occur upon infection, even right after. Enough so that a trained eye, like Raddagher, could spot it. If... if she could make something to detect 3Bs with high enough accuracy, then it could be used to stop anybody from getting hurt. And... and it could be used to tell when "existing" 3Bs stop being anomalous. To make sure something like Lancaster's circumstance can't happen again. It'd be difficult, hell even, and she'd have to talk to half the departments to get approval, but...

Vi has fixed most of her life's problems with technology, why should this be any different? She grabs a sticky note from her desk, quickly jotting down a name before pressing it firmly to her monitor.

But alas, now she needs to. And she knows it. She's been in this site, for, what, a year? Time is hard to keep down here, but she's been on site in person since late 2018, so that sounds about right? Rambling inside her head again, Vi tries to focus. She needs to talk to people. To truly know them, or else she's gonna, like, go insane or something. Hell, she barely knew who was in her own department except for Gillespie.

Begrudgingly, she grabs a sticky note from her desk, rewriting the previously discarded message and sticking the note to her monitor.

Talk to people. Tasklist:

Other people in engineering. Includes Teacup and Fawley. I think.

Meet at least one person from each department.

And then small checkboxes, followed by the respective department. VI looks at it for a few seconds, before sighing, a small smile creeping onto her face.
