Well, that is a special case.
Alright. The pills are probably fine, though I don't blame you at all for distrusting them or continuing to do so, but the one thing I'll say for the city, is it has usually been good at providing unusual nutrition methods when needed.

That said, if we can find a way to make you less dependent on the city, that will be better. I've a few suggestions and a few questions.
Suggestion: while I think magic can help, getting someone of a scientific nature to look at one of the pills to break it down will help in general. If you don't have anyone you know like that, I can find someone.

Question: can you tell me anything else about magnetite? It's not a component found in my home, to my knowledge.

The fact that they would bring someone like me here is troubling. I can think of a number of scenarios where I may not have access to the pills.
They cannot see beyond their own arrogance to the inherent danger my kind poses.

I have not been here long, so I do not know many trustworthy people yet. Though if I had the proper equipment, I may be able to conduct some research myself.

Unfortunately, I know almost about what magnetite is, only that it was referred to as an information construct.

Arrogant about sums up the system, the Creator, and everyone of any authority here.
I imagine they thought they could control you or weren't worried about what would happen if they didn't.
I don't know if anyone has told you or it has come up, but seeing as it might ease or frustrate you further: death is not permanent here. They make a mockery of that as well, so I imagine their only concern will be if you're a sub and end up killing a dominant.

There's some equipment available in the basement at Haven. I know a lot of people here and have a decent web of resources at my disposal. I have a man in mind, I'll keep your name out of his potential research for your privacy if you'd like, but to gain you access to Haven's basement, I'll need to tell the Head doctor about you. Or you can approach him yourself with my name.

Information construct? That [He pauses as he tries to find the right words.] That sounds technical. Either related to computers or a wizard's detail-focused finagling.

As much as I am tired of death, and entire lack of it feels wrong.
So perhaps they truly do not care what I could do to this city.

I would not deny help from others on the research. While I do not wish to cause a panic by informing the network of what I am, I am not keeping it a secret. I would like for the right people to know, and proper plans put in place should the worst happen. I just need to find those people.

I believe it may have something to do with data. Data is the term given to the base information that everything and everyone is made of.

That's useful to know. For the record, you've no obligation to out yourself like that. If vampires are allowed to keep what they are secret as long as possible, so are you. That said, I'm plenty practical enough to help with contingency plans as well, as you need.

For now, I would talk to Kyle Valenti about use of the lab in Haven for your own uses, if he hesitates, tell him I'm asking him to let you down there as a favor to me, though I can't promise for any dust.

My other contact I'll keep personal for his own preference for secrecy, but if I can get a sample pill from you for his use, it'll help. We'll figure something out one way or another, there's enough bright minds here to aid.

It would be appreciated, as I do not have the information needed to form an effective plan. The need is not immediate, but at the same time it would be illogical to wait.

I will speak with him, if only to see if the equipment is something I am capable of using. The technology may be too different for me to interface with.

Offering a pill will not be a problem. I will provide whatever information I am able.

I texted an associate and he's agreed to help. He's an authority on chemical and alchemical compounds and he would like to meet with you to start looking into this. It's possible you might be able to interface with whatever technology he has as well.
Or rather, it won't likely be different, so if you can for one you probably can for both.

What time would best suit you meeting us?
I'd also ask if there's anything to be done to ease you, I imagine you have some nervousness in you for this, I'd certainly have my own reservations and concerns in your place.

I would not consider myself a scientist, so one who can better interpret any information found would certainly be beneficial.

You are the ones willing to offer help, I am available when best suits you and your associate.

The concept of allies is still relatively new, but not unwelcome. I am without my tribe and alone in this. Trust needs to be given somewhere or I will be incapable of moving forward.

I've prior plans today, if tomorrow evening would be acceptable, I think that would work best, my associate keeps fairly irregular hours.

I understand the feeling. If it means anything to you, I am the ruler of my land back home and a cleric of my god of death, I promise you on both fronts that our interests are solely to your benefit and seeking an answer to your predicament. We've no intention nor interest in making things harder for you.

Where would we be meeting?

Our tribes and territories had leaders, but I do not know what it means to be a cleric.
Regardless, I do not know what I can offer to repay your help.

At Grayson Frost's lab in the Up. If you're a submissive, I'll come collect you at the elevator and take you there so the guards don't give you fuss.

It's in relation to gods, if your world has none, I'd imagine the term would mean little. As for payment, don't worry about it for now. None involved in this have need of additional money and I imagine you have very little, if any, right now.
We'll figure something out if it's necessary.

I am a Dominant, so there should not be any problems.

Gods actually factor in a great deal into what I have become.

Good, that does make things easier, then I’ll send along the address and you can make your way as you see fit.

[Which he does before picking up on that other part, curiosity piqued.]

I won’t pretend only business calls in my curiosity for that last part.

What do you mean? Did your gods curse you?

Perhaps that is one way of looking at it.
The people that did this to us were seeking a way to be able to live freely on their planet that was dying.
Data from the sun was turning people to stone.
They had been developing a way to attune to the gods, to become strong enough to exist in the sun's rays without fear.
It worked, but the process became corrupted, turning what would have been the avatars of gods into frightful monsters.
They claimed it was an accident, but in the end they didn't care.
My other self is known as Vayu, Lord of the winds and god breath.

Your other self.
So you were hit with this corruption as well and have a creature side, this Vayu?

Is it something you control or does it come out under certain measures?
You're not obliged to tell me, it's your business, but if it's the latter might be something else we could help with.

That is correct.

I have complete control over my ability to transform under usual circumstances besides the starvation scenario I am seeking to avoid.
Outside of the Junkyard, the sun did occasionally affect us. It would force a partial transformation. Made it difficult to think, though we still knew who our comrades were.
That does not appear to be an issue here.

Well small favors, at least.
I'd advise being aware that the city may well change or affect that ability at some time.
Some of the monthly effects turn us against ourselves or each other and a transformation has been forced or influenced on some in the past.

Meanwhile, some others never fall victim to such things, so wariness over paranoia.
Would you rather discuss what might be done if you were to lose control now or when we meet?
