They say they're gonna fix my brain 
 Alleviate my suffering and my pain 
 But by the time they fix my head 
 Mentally I'll be dead

Summary

A mutant strain of Strange, or at the very least a conniving one, has infected Trilogee. Trilogee seems to have mended from the strain, and occasionally it speaks through her in gentle ways as an aspect of her personality. It's expressed the desire to make everybody happy, and cease conflicts centering around the StrangeVirus.

The mutant strain has referred to itself as RetroStrange, RetroStrain, occasionally Old, and is slowly becoming more public. So far, it's only offered to be liason, and assist in treating other StrangeTainted people.

During an [attempt to treat Nikolai with alternative methods], The [Strange Medical Corps interfered], capturing both Trilogee and Nikolai. Lysette as witness, William as involved.

Recent Developments

Trilogee was released from SMC custody, Nikolai escaping through his own methods. Nikolai freed, things grew very terse. Logs [here] [here] and [here].
