	|QuestionText=Thank you, mods! sorry for the nuisance she's about to become.<br><br>speaking of, if she enquires about "how about you never mess with the minds of augmented ever again, and failing that, never mess with my or pom's or the people I care about's minds &lt;3" what sort of response will she get?<br><br>and if she doesn't get that promise, and starts doing things like... sealing the entrances of patho-gen HQ with ice and other such total pain in the ass but not dangerous unless there's a fire (or plant monster) inside demonstrations of her displeasure with their decision, what happens?<br><br>she's also going to refuse any instructions to do community service (and if they mess with her head to try and <em>make</em> her do it, or worse make <em>pom</em> do it.... well. the second that stops she will be flooding every inch of every patho-gen office until she passes out)

    |AnswerText=Oh dear. Northly... this is not good behavior and not a good example for your fellow Augmented! Even though some may recognize that she's motivated out of concern for loved ones, that is a lot of trouble she's prepared to cause.<br><br>Depending on who she talks to, the more sympathetic of Patho-Gen's staff would at least try to mollify her. These are also the ones least familiar (or responsible) for the "behavioral modifications"/mindfuckery that are placed on repeated aggressors like Pom (and soon to be Northly). From their perspective/understanding, the most that's been done is a bit of sedation to help with panic, and they don't really understand why she's this upset about it. They know that sometimes more bestial behaviors get the better of even the most respectable of Augmented, and surely it's better to keep them from hurting themselves or others until they calm down?<br><br>Of course, even at its most optimistic, none of that is a <i>promise</i> (and it's a bit unintentionally condescending to boot)... and if Northly starts acting up, she would be some combination of spoken to/knocked out/artificially calmed down/put into Augmented jail (time out with Patho-Gen), as they try to figure out <i>what</i> to do with her (bureaucracy is a problem, the complication of different people with different authorities and perspectives trying to come up with an answer here).<br><br>(For longer consequences/outcomes, it should probably be laid out after October's event (at least the kidnapping part), whether Northly is amongst those taken or not. Since it also has to do with trying to curb/control/rewrite some of these <i>inconvenient</i> Augmented behaviors...)
