quarantine 'em

... they all ended up detonating their Antimeme bomb to stop a 3125 outbreak?

Or equally, /how many times has Your Last First Day happened?/

Going to try to keep this in one thread: yes, the person was able to amnesticise themself on the way out. Maybe the gas system had already been installed at that point, maybe there was a first aid kit with amnestics nearby

So in other words they got lucky. Of course, anytime something apparently lucky happens in an Antimemetics story, it probably happened the unlucky way three or four times before that

And yes, Your Last First Day has happened several times at different sites, sometimes even with Marion Wheeler being present, and escaping alive due to a combination of preparation, skill and luck

Speaking of Your Last First Day, how does detonating the on-site antimemetic nuke buy them time before 3125’s full manifestation?

It doesn't really buy "them" (the Antimemetics Division) time, since it erases the Antimemetics Division as a concept from the world. It buys the world at large a few more years of blissful ignorance before the inevitable

So it would have started spreading to people with similar memeomes as the former researchers, triggering its MK-class end of the world?
