Jynne there has been evidence that reclaim technology, which is dependent on notum is not working correcntly. Is this due to depletion of notum stocks or problems with the technology that have been kept from us by the developers? The subway in Borealis is full of rejected avatars created by the reclaim process. I suggest you inspect the place for your self or send some agents on your behalf. We have research and data on the beings in the subway, you can read it if you wish to see the work that is based on "biased figures of racial extremists and eco-terrorists".
There is other cirumstantial evidence of nanomage suffering from notum deficiency sickness, this is invariably fatal. Also reports have reached us of individuals who are being afected by changes in notum levels.
I am very much in favour a study to examine these reports to verify their authenticity and reliability.
The unreliability of Reclaim Technology has always been a fact of life since its first development several hundred years ago. There is an approximately 2% failure rate, as far as I recall, that is inherent in the technology even in the event of a healthy and recently-scanned person's demise. People who are very unhealthy, or who have not scanned recently, experience higher failure rates.
Furthermore, reclaim technology is not certified as either safe or effective for people under the age of 16, nor over the age of, I believe, 72. Something about their "souls" as it were, are not able to find the way back to their reconstituted bodies.
Given the smallest, most basic 2% failure rate, and given the numbers of people continually dying and reclaiming on Rubi-Ka, it is less surprising that there is a small number of failed resurrections lurking deep underground, and more surprising that the streets aren't choked with "reclaim zombies" from failed resurrections.
