Hal needs clean urine to pass the O.N.A.N.T.A. drug scans

texture · YDAU, ~15 Oct

• When: October YDAU (2009), quarterly urine-sample day
• What: On the quarterly urine-test day (players ranked over #64 are scanned by GC/MS), Hal is implicitly among the "fourth of the ranking players over fifteen" who "cannot pass a standard scan" — he buys/obtains Pemulis's child-donated clean urine, but "gets his sterile urine gratis" because Pemulis relies on him for verbal-academic support and dislikes owing favors. A concrete institutional consequence of Hal's concealed marijuana habit.
