Hackett has CT scan, reveals implanted passing/scoring converter

[Renomitsu 934]

Riga, Latvia - Apollo Hackett's season just got a little weirder.

 

After unexplained, ear-splitting headaches in the weeks following Riga's Continental Cup Finals loss to the Seattle Bears, Apollo went to his doctor, who ordered scans and urgently referred Hackett to the emergency room. Wisely, the Riga 1st Hospital obtained a CT scan of the defenseman's head, revealing a pair of what appear to be tiny wires and an electrode attached to a portion of his brain called the basal ganglia, which are responsible for filtering and carrying out movement 'programs' for your body.

 

"Thankfully, Mr. Hackett has given us permission to discuss this case with the greater public. Sometimes, we'll see very similar configurations of wires experimentally for eliciting speech from those with aphasias, an inability to comprehend language or speak, " noted neurologist Valters Karstais who provided the schematic for one such device included at the end of this article.

 

"In this case, it seems as though Mr. Hackett has one that, based on very targeted testing, force him to make a slapshot-style motion towards a normal goal-shaped and sized object in place of passing," he continued. "It's baffling, and very intricate. I'm not sure we presently, even in the medical community, firmly understand how this technology was developed. We'll need to keep him for further testing over the off-season, which may limit his ability to practice with his teammates - ultimately, we're still debating whether to test a large-scale removal of the device, which our neurosurgeons deem quite risky, or simply do observational tests. We're not sure of the long-term impact of the device."

Obligatory tag of @Nykonax because he deserves an explanation for Apollo's bad passes, though I already know he replied.

 

Also @GustavMattias because of course
