What meds would Connor have in house to handle when Y/N gets sick? Would there be a special kit for it? Knowing a fever that spikes too high and too fast can cause her spiral quickly.

The Emergency Shelf

Summary: Connor’s a trauma surgeon. Y/N has complex, high-risk chronic conditions. So when she gets sick—not a flare, but actual illness—he doesn’t take chances. He’s built what he calls “the emergency shelf,” a designated section of their apartment prepped for the worst-case scenarios. When a sudden fever hits late one night, he activates every protocol he’s put in place, because he knows: her body doesn’t give warnings—it gives out.

The thermometer beeped once.

Connor pulled it out gently, barely breathing as he read the number.

102.7.

Her skin was flushed and burning beneath his fingertips, eyes glassy but open. She hadn’t said much in the last twenty minutes—too dizzy, too nauseated. She was already curled in the fetal position under three blankets, teeth chattering from the sudden fever spike, even as her body burned.

This wasn’t a flare.

This was illness.

And illness, in her system, was dangerous in a whole different way.

“Okay, sweetheart,” Connor said, smoothing a hand over her hair. “I’ve got you.”

He walked quickly—but never frantically—to the linen closet.

Third shelf down.

Labeled in crisp white text on matte black tape: ACUTE ILLNESS KIT.

He pulled it open.

Inside:

• Preloaded syringes of acetaminophen and ibuprofen (safe for port use or sub-Q, if needed)

• Liquid Zofran for faster absorption

• One dose of Toradol in case of escalating pain

• Cooling wraps and electrolyte popsicles

• Two different strength fever reducer suppositories for when nausea made oral meds impossible

• Oral rehydration solution mix, plain and flavored

• Pulse ox and digital BP monitor

• Emergency steroid taper pack

• Spare anti-viral and broad-spectrum antibiotic doses (cleared by Ava and Hannah for home use if she couldn’t tolerate transport)

• And tucked into a side pocket: her advanced vitals chart, with her baseline readings and emergency med doses noted in Connor’s handwriting.

He came back to the bedroom and knelt beside her.

“Fever’s high, but not dangerous yet. I’m giving you fluids through the port, and a temp reducer now. You’re safe.”

She whimpered faintly. “I hate this.”

“I know,” he whispered, kissing her forehead. “But you’ve got me. And I’m good at this.”

He flushed her port, then slowly pushed the meds. Started a slow drip of chilled fluids. Wrapped her neck and wrists in cooling towels. Adjusted the room temp by two degrees. Logged every detail into the data log he shared with Ava and Hannah.

Within ten minutes, both their phones buzzed with alerts.

Ava: “Temp spike? You managing or need backup?”

Hannah: “Prepping in case you call me in. Let me know if you need ears or hands.”

Connor replied to both: In control for now. Meds given. Fluids started. Will monitor hourly.

For the next three hours, he never left her side.

He checked her temp every thirty minutes.

Replaced the cool wraps when they warmed.

Ran gentle fingers down her spine when the chills made her curl into herself.

And when the fever finally broke—sweat beading on her temples, her breathing deepening—he let out a slow breath of his own and kissed her knuckles.

“You’re okay,” he whispered. “You did it.”

“No,” she murmured faintly. “You did.”

Because when you live with someone whose body can crash without warning—

Preparation isn’t optional.

It’s love.

And Connor was always ready.

Even if she never had to ask.

MOVING ELECTRONICS IN HONG KONG'S RAINY SEASON: IMPORTANT TIPS FROM THE MOVERS

Relocation can be one of the most stressful and irritating experiences one can come across. Add moving delicate and very expensive electronics during Hong Kong's rainy season, and it all starts to turn into a nightmare. From April to September, with the period June to August being the peak one, comes with torrential rainfalls that can be pretty dangerous for electronic devices. It's where careful planning and professional moving expertise come in to play for the safe relocation of your electronics. Here are some vital tips to help guide you through the challenges of moving electronics during this wet season.

Understanding the Challenges

The rainy season in Hong Kong is accompanied by heavy rainfalls, high humidity, and occasional thunderstorms. The kind of weather that can cause all sorts of problems while moving electronics: water damage, short circuits, and malfunctioning due to excessive humidity. Professional movers understand these challenges and have strategies to mitigate the risks.

Pre-Move Preparations

1. Choose Experienced Movers: Get experienced movers who have handling experience in electronics and are conversant with the local climate. It will make the experienced moving company better at anticipating and addressing the particular challenges arising during the rainy season.

2. Inspect and Backup Data: Inspect all devices before the move to ensure they're in working order. Back up important data to avoid loss in case damage occurs during the move.

3. Use Original Packaging: If possible, use the original packaging of the electronics. Such packages are designed to provide maximum safety during movement. If there is no possibility of using the original packaging, high quality, sturdy boxes should be used.

4. Taping and Labelling Boxes: Seal all boxes containing electronics well with waterproof tape to prevent water infiltration. Clearly label these boxes with "Fragile" and "Electronics" so that the movers are warned to handle them with extra care.

Protective Packing Techniques

1. Waterproof Wrapping: Each electronic device should be wrapped in waterproof plastic wrap or placed in waterproof bags for protection from moisture. This is quite important in the case of more sensitive items, like laptops, tabs, and small home appliances.

2. Cushioning Materials: You may use bubble wrap, foam sheets, or even packing peanuts to pad your electronics. Such materials absorb shocks and vibrations during transit that may damage your electronics.

3. Silica Gel Packets: Place silica gel packets inside the boxes. Silica gel has the property of absorbing moisture and helps in keeping the environment inside the box dry, very essential during the rainy season when it is very humid.

Loading and Transportation

1. Climate-Controlled Trucks: Avail those movers who offer climate-controlled trucks. These will provide a safe, stable temperature and humidity for your electronics.

2. Elevate Boxes: Make sure boxes with electronics inside the moving truck stay off the floor and away from water in case of leaks or flooding.

3. Avoid Overloading: The truck should not be overfilled with boxes. The too-many boxes might cause shifting, which may cause breakage. Experts balance and load a truck for safety.

During the Move

1. Watch the Weather: Keep an eye on any bad weather that may be predicted for that day. If extreme weather is forecasted, reschedule for another day or day off to prevent your costly electronics from getting soaked.

2. Offload Fast: On reaching the destination, offload your electronics fast. This ensures they receive the minimum possible exposure to the humid environment. Make sure the new location is dry and ready for the electronics.

3. Check for Water Damage: Upon unpacking, inspect all electronic devices for water damage or malfunction. Plug in the devices to turn them on and check for functionality. If there are any discrepancies, notify the movers immediately so that claims can be filed if needed.

After the Move

1. Dehumidifiers: If needed, use dehumidifiers in your new location to reduce the level of humidity to make your electronics safer.

2. Proper Storage: Keep devices in a cool and dry place if you will not install it immediately. Not in basements or places with high humidity, and also not directly beside windows.

3. Regular Maintenance: Regularly have your devices maintained to keep them in good condition. This includes dusting and checking for dampness problems.

Conclusion The wet season in Hong Kong is really a challenging period to transport electronics, requiring great planning and skill from professional movers. With these tips, you can help your devices be safe from such challenges as soaking and soggy weather. You should always select seasoned movers who are conversant with the local climate and shall provide the relevant precautions for a smooth and safe relocation. Do everything meticulously, and you will be able to get through the rainy season without sacrificing any of your gadgets in the process.

Chapter 203 Trivia

Happy 4th of July from Dr. Xeno*!

(*Indirectly.)

Fluorite mines still exist in Japan, however they're far inland so the KoS can't make use of their boat routes for transport.

Fluorite is one of the first materials shown to fluoresce (=glow when light/EM radiation hits it), which is what the phenomenon was named after!

One of the major problems in improving telescope quality is getting rid of chromatic aberration, which can be improved by using lenses with a lower refractive index (such as those made of fluorite rather than glass). This bends the light less, leading to clearer magnification.

The rocket design is similar to cruise missiles, in that it uses a jet engine rather than a rocket engine. Cruise missiles will follow an almost direct path to their target, and have the ability to adjust direction at any point. Ballistic missiles cannot.

The blocky thing shown here could be a stylized vacuum column tape drive, a device for storing data on magnetic tape (the black ribbon in cassettes) to be used in computations.

One of these devices is the IBM 7090, which was used by NASA to control space flights in the 60s.

The map shows that the KoS may be aiming to land around Goa in India.

Assuming they don't stop, the journey via the Suez is >10 days, and >23 days via the Cape of Good Hope.

The Banana Canal seems to be how the villagers remember the name of the Panama Canal, which is odd because bananas only grow in the very south of Japan (if at all) so they're unlikely to have been familiar with them before reaching South America.

The Suez is a man-made canal that gets drained and cleared every 10 years so the boats can pass through unobstructed. The area has also been mostly desert for thousands of years. Sandstorms would soon fill it in, making it impassable.

What Ryusui is worried about here is probably similar to the Ever Given back in March, when winds ran it aground, blocking the whole canal. It had to be dug out to be freed, which the KoS can't do here. Turning around or backing up is also impossible if the canal is too narrow.

Kohaku is the only power/fighter team member here, and she's definitely making sure to represent the hot-heads! Getting revenge on a canal, trying to destroy things…

Chelsea's old banners made a comeback, which isn't surprising since fabric is tedious to make. Reuse is the basis of Senku's science after all!

But more importantly, how the H-E-L-L did it survive those 7 years when everyone was petrified?!

The dam shown looks more like a beaver dam or a deliberate structure than something that naturally got packed like that. The way it follows onto the land is a little odd to me as well… Something could be hiding underneath?

Senku always makes sure to number his rockets.

(I spent too long wondering if this was a pun, but the i-shi/stone pun is for 1-4, and "Dr. One" doesn't quite fit how "Dr. Stone" is pronounced…)

The rocket has two sets of controllers, one used by Senku on the ship and the other by Ryusui about half way to the dam. It's unlikely that this choice is due to range issues, as the cell phones worked 80 km apart and this is only 20 km.

It's probably so that Ryusui can pinpoint the landing while Senku takes care of the launch.

The coordination between them is impressive!

India has likely been chosen as Math City because of its long history of mathematics dating back over 3000 years, before Europe had made similar advances. They invented many important concepts, such as negative numbers, the idea of zero, and decimal points.

The other option for India being Math City is that it has many natural resources useful for making computers and other electronics, however I think we'll have to wait until future chapters to see why they chose it!

How to Pack Electronics for a Safe Move

When planning a relocation from Phoenix to Prescott, one of the biggest challenges is ensuring your electronics arrive safely and in working condition. Whether you're moving expensive gaming systems, computers, or home theater equipment, proper packing can save you from costly damage and frustration.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best practices for packing electronics securely for a smooth and stress-free move.

1. Back Everything Up

Before you pack a single item, back up your data. Use external hard drives, cloud storage, or USB drives to store your important files. Moving can be unpredictable, and in case of damage, having backups will save you from potential data loss.

2. Organize Cords and Accessories

Unplug all devices and organize the cords. Use zip ties or cable organizers to keep wires from tangling. Label each cord and accessory using masking tape or stickers so you know what belongs to what. You’ll thank yourself during the setup in your new home.

3. Use Original Boxes (If You Have Them)

If you’ve kept the original packaging for your electronics, now’s the time to use them. These boxes are designed to protect the devices during transport and often come with custom foam or inserts for added protection.

4. If No Original Packaging – Use Quality Materials

If original boxes aren’t available, gather the following:

Sturdy moving boxes (small to medium size)

Anti-static bubble wrap or foam

Packing paper (avoid newspapers)

Packing tape

Fragile stickers or labels

Wrap each item carefully with anti-static bubble wrap. Fill the bottom of the box with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to create a cushion, place the device inside, and then fill in the gaps.

5. Label and Inventory Everything

Keep an inventory of your electronics and label each box accordingly—especially with “FRAGILE” and “THIS SIDE UP.” Also, note what’s inside each box (e.g., “Laptop and charger,” “Xbox console and controllers”) to simplify unpacking.

6. Avoid Extreme Temperatures

During a move from Phoenix to Prescott, you may encounter varying temperatures. Electronics are sensitive to heat, so avoid leaving them in hot moving trucks for long periods. If possible, move smaller items like laptops or tablets in your personal vehicle.

7. Remove Batteries and Ink Cartridges

Take out batteries, ink cartridges, and any other removable or spillable parts. These can overheat, leak, or damage your devices during transit. Place these parts in labeled zip-lock bags and pack them separately.

8. Use Plastic Bins for Added Protection

If you want extra protection, use plastic storage bins instead of cardboard boxes. They are sturdier and offer better defense against moisture and crushing.

9. Pack Screens Properly

For TVs or monitors:

Wrap in a soft cloth or microfiber towel.

Avoid putting pressure on the screen.

Pack upright in a snug box with ample padding.

Never lay flat—it increases the risk of cracking.

10. Check Insurance Coverage

Before the move, check if your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance covers electronics during transit. If not, consider purchasing moving insurance for high-value items.

Final Thoughts

Moving electronics from Phoenix to Prescott doesn’t have to be stressful when done right. With careful packing and a bit of preparation, your devices can make it to your new home safe and sound, ready to plug in and power up.

9 Ways To Safely And Securely Pack Electronics For Moving

One of the biggest concerns when relocating is ensuring that fragile electronics are packed securely to prevent damage. From TVs to gaming consoles, these items often hold both monetary and sentimental value. Proper preparation and packing techniques from removalists Canberra can save you from unnecessary headaches and expenses. 

Here are some effective strategies to help you safeguard your electronics during a move.

Organise and Label All Cables and Accessories

Unplugging cables without organising them can lead to confusion and potential damage. Use cable ties or twist ties to bundle cords neatly. Place each set of cables in a separate resealable bag, labelling them clearly. For additional clarity, take photos of the cable configurations before unplugging them. This will make it much easier to reconnect everything later, reducing the risk of compatibility errors or misplaced components.

Back-Up Important Data

Before packing computers, external drives, or other storage devices, ensure all essential data is backed up. Use cloud storage or an external drive to create duplicates of critical files. This precaution will protect your information in case of accidental damage during transit. Backing up data is especially crucial for business equipment or personal files that are irreplaceable.

Use Original Packaging Whenever Possible

If you still have the original boxes and foam inserts for your electronics, use them. These are designed to fit the specific dimensions of your devices, providing optimal protection. If the original packaging is unavailable, use sturdy boxes slightly larger than the device and fill any gaps with cushioning material, such as bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or foam sheets.

Invest in Anti-Static Materials

Static electricity can damage sensitive components within electronics, particularly circuit boards. Wrap devices in anti-static bubble wrap or use anti-static bags for smaller items. Avoid using regular plastic bags, as these can generate static. Protecting against static is particularly important for items like hard drives, motherboards, and RAM.

Secure Screens and Fragile Components

Screens are highly vulnerable to cracks and scratches during transport. Use thick, soft blankets or specially designed screen protectors to shield them. Place a piece of sturdy cardboard or foam over the screen and secure it with painter’s tape to prevent movement. Avoid placing anything heavy on top of devices with screens to eliminate pressure-related damage.

Remove Batteries and Ink Cartridges

Batteries can leak or overheat during transit, causing damage to devices and posing safety hazards. Remove all batteries from electronics, including remote controls and wireless peripherals. Similarly, if you’re moving printers, remove ink cartridges and pack them separately in sealed bags to prevent leaks. Label these bags clearly to ensure they are easy to locate when setting up your equipment later.

Seal Devices Against Dust and Moisture

Dust and moisture can cause significant damage to electronics, even over short periods. Wrap devices in protective plastic or place them in sealed bags to guard against these elements. For added protection, use silica gel packets inside the packaging to absorb excess moisture. This is especially useful for areas prone to humidity.

Use Cushioning Strategically

When packing electronics in boxes, ensure there is ample cushioning around all sides of the device. Start by placing a layer of padding, such as crumpled packing paper or foam, at the bottom of the box. Place the device in the centre, surrounded by more cushioning material, and finish with an additional layer on top. This method minimises the risk of movement and impact damage during transport.

Label Boxes with Care Instructions

Clearly label each box containing electronics with instructions such as “Fragile” or “This Side Up.” Indicate the contents of the box to ensure careful handling. Using bright markers or pre-printed stickers can make these instructions more visible. Additionally, keeping a detailed inventory of which devices are in which boxes can make unpacking more organised and efficient.

Packing electronics securely requires meticulous attention to detail and the right materials. By following these nine strategies, you can ensure your valuable devices are well protected throughout the moving process. Whether you’re dealing with a single laptop or an entire home entertainment system, taking these precautions can save you time, money, and stress. With careful planning and the right techniques, your electronics will arrive safely, ready to be set up in your new space.
