My brain hurts.

Almost 48 hours.

I have no idea how you LAN-party geeks can stand the taste of Red Bull, but I have to admit, chase it down with some Excedrin and you can keep sharp all through the night. I think I recall eating ... something on Monday.

Reactive frequency white noise generators were the easy part, once Doctor MacTaggart brought down the vibranium paneling. Stuff's a bitch to work without a plasma torch, though. So, of course, they brought me a plasma torch. I love this place.

Fiber-optic sutures, now THOSE were a stroke of genius. I can't believe no one thought of that before. Wait, yes I can. Because I'm the most brilliant mind on the planet, baby!

I helped save someone's life over the past two days, they tell me. And I'm not sure if that's more of a rush than all the caffeine. And, I mean, it was easy. No one gave me any shit about needing materials or space to work or soda or anything.

Now if I could only remember how the hell I got back up to my room. And where the hell my pants went.

I made something that saved someone's life. This is so cool.

Specs? Didn't exactly have the time. Simple, really. Just an extrapolation on microtubular design using a wavelength-friendly carrier medium. The server room had a roll of .25mm optic cable, all that was needed was to unbraid it, whack the polarity with a pulsed magnetic field at the right frequencies, and spin it through that old sewing machine in the machine shop to get the right consistency and tensile properties. The stimulated photons can be absorbed from it along the long axis then, not just end-on, and the polarity switch just causes the sutures to fluoresce along a low-density multiphasic EM band. That way they don't get burned through.

Now, if you were to ask me WHY this lady was bleeding lasers - there I'm at a loss. Biology, even mutant biology, is way beyond my scope.
