Neither Lisa, nor other pathologically hysterical person, would get any better from the treatment prescribed in Elrong's own words on the Introspection R/D and Type III handling Bulletins . It was inevitable that when you have unlicensed, mentally scrambled, mistrained individuals taking care of someone who has gone psychotic, eventually someone will die of the neglect/abuse. So it was the tek, Elrong's twisted ~ideas~, that killed Lisa, much more than the individuals who couldn't get it to work on her. But wtf do I know, eh? Rev Dennis Erlich * * the inFormer * *
