Misaka 9982 blinked it was a lot quieter now now she had time to think
"..." Mikoto stared at the baby fetus aim bust thing suspended mid-air without moving she sent a bolt of electricity at it only for the electric bolt to freeze on contact
"W-what's going on?"
(Elsewhere in the city)
In the dimly lit hospital room, the doctor, clad in a white coat, stood surrounded by a group of anxious nurses, their faces etched with concern. Before them lay a row of beds, each occupied by a young patient between the ages of 12 and 18
" what s going on" the head doctor asked "Have they regained consciousness?"
"No! They were just sleeping and then all of the sudden they started having spasmodic symptoms..."
"All of them at the same time ?"
"yes."
"What is happening here...? "Taking a deep breath, the doctor tried to calm his racing thoughts. The situation was unprecedented, and the first step was to ensure the safety and stability of the young patients. With the help of the nurses, they began by assessing vital signs – heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. Fortunately, despite the convulsions, the patients' vital signs remained stable, providing a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos.
Turning to the nurses, the doctor instructed, "Let's initiate a continuous EEG monitoring for each patient. We need to get a detailed picture of their brain activity. And prepare for an MRI, STAT. We need to rule out any structural issues in the brain."
The room buzzed with activity as the medical team rushed to implement the doctor's orders. Wires were attached to the patients' scalps, electrodes carefully placed to capture every nuance of their brain activity. The doctor watched the monitors intently, hoping for any clue as to what could be causing this sudden and synchronized neurological disturbance as the minutes ticked by, the doctor's mind raced through a mental checklist of potential causes. Infections, toxins, metabolic disorders, and even rare genetic conditions were considered. But the simultaneity of the onset among all patients was perplexing. It was as if they had collectively entered this strange state, and that was a puzzle that defied easy explanation.
Finally, the MRI results started to roll in. The doctor examined the images with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. The scans showed no obvious structural abnormalities in the brains of the affected adolescents. It was a relief, but it also meant that the root cause was likely something more elusive, perhaps a neurochemical imbalance or an external trigger.
The next step was to consult with a neurologist and a pediatric neurologist, both of whom arrived promptly. The doctor briefed them on the situation, emphasizing the unusual synchronization of symptoms and the absence of any apparent environmental factors.
The neurologist, a seasoned expert in her field, furrowed her brow as she examined the EEG readings. "This is unlike anything I've seen before," she admitted. "It's as if their brainwaves are dancing to an unknown rhythm."
The pediatric neurologist nodded in agreement. "We need to consider the possibility of a side effects of that Level Upper, something that might have been latent and triggered simultaneously in these patients."
The doctor nodded, and a plan was quickly formulated. Lumbar punctures would be performed to assess cerebrospinal fluid for signs of infection or inflammation. Blood samples would be analyzed for any metabolic abnormalities. Meanwhile, the medical team would continue to monitor the patients closely, providing supportive care to manage their symptoms.
The lumbar puncture results came back negative for infections or inflammation. Blood tests revealed no apparent metabolic issues. It seemed that the elusive nature of this medical crisis persisted, leaving everyone involved frustrated and concerned just then they suddenly stopped all vital signs blank
"..."
"What happened just now!!!"
The nurse's voice trembled with pain. "T-t-they just stopped just..."
Meanwhile, news of the Level Upper's creator, Kiyama Harumi, and her battle with Mikoto were distant echoes in the background. The doctors were focused solely on their patients, their primary concern being the recovery and well-being of these young individuals who had unwittingly become entangled in the Level Upper's effects.
With limited information and resources, the doctors faced an uphill battle and now...did they fail
"Skeeeeeekkkkkm!!!!!!!! "
The Aim bust screamed loudly before collapsing large amounts of electricity pulsing out of it
"!????"
without the interference from other espers Misaka 9982 quickly figured out the situation and was destroy the core
"w-what's going on?" Mikoto blinked as the Aim bust slowly disintegrated
Unknown to even herself Misaka 9982 temporarily stopped time selectively for all the espers connected to the Aim bust and by extension the Aim bust now that the temporal effect were wearing off and the Aim bust destroyed ...
About the same time Uriharu played the treatment program
...One of the patients, a 16-year-old boy, exhibited a subtle change in his EEG patterns. It was a faint shift, barely perceptible, but it was enough to spark hope. The medical team gathered around his bed, watching the monitors with bated breath.
The doctor's voice trembled with excitement. "He's showing some signs of brainwave activity that are different from the others. It might be a sign of improvement, or at least a clue."
The neurologists rushed to his bedside, conducting a series of tests. Slowly but steadily, the boy's brain activity continued to evolve, indicating a gradual return to consciousness. It was a glimmer of hope amidst the uncertainty.
News of the boy's improvement spread through the hospital, lifting the spirits of the medical staff and sparking renewed determination to solve the mystery. The doctor knew they had to redouble their efforts, using the boy's case as a potential key to unlocking the others from their perplexing slumber with renewed determination, the medical team intensified their research, delving deeper into the medical literature, consulting with experts from around the world, and exploring every possible avenue for answers. They also maintained a constant vigil at the patients' bedsides, hoping for further signs of improvement ,The medical team's persistence eventually paid off. One by one, the other patients began to show signs of brainwave activity, just as the boy had.
