SECONDARY - have the radiation readings of the longest surviving Augmented remained relatively the same since he first started taking them last year, or are they noticeably ticking up? TY FOR THE FAKE NUMBERS AND SCIENCE AGAIN	I can't remember this ever being asked either... A deceased character (whether natively or a developed Spectral-type) wouldn't be any more or less radiated when compared to a living one. And the radiation readings of long-running characters will have remained relatively stable! There shouldn't be anything there to mark them as different, or worse off compared to new arrivals- so it seems like the Natural Soul is doing its job of allowing the Augmented to better shake off any exposure they do experience. (Characters who spend a lot of time outside the barrier will still have readings that are temporarily higher than 'normal' (especially if they're on their own), but this will also clear up quickly once they're back inside.)
