Day 6

The reverberations of the Melphalan Bomb have echoed deep and long throughout the planet Rodg. Day Zero, and days One, Two, and Three saw desperate attempts to bring Mt Oesophagus back to quiescence until finally on day Four a brief calm was achieved; only to be lost again on day Five.

Violent eruptions followed by extended periods of dreamy calm have been the pattern for days on end. (You will have noted our intrepid Captain has hardly been capable of coherent thought .... well done secretary).

Later today (+6) the first stimuli will be applied to the newly emerging, partially formed cells. In a few days time this will result in a rise from the zero counts of now, to the first indicators of a climb back towards normal. The stimuli will continue daily until a reasonable number (perhaps 1/3 normal) of ‘white’ neutrophil defenders are in place to afford some protection from disease. All seems to be going to plan so far... fingers crossed.
