Cap'n, the plot can'na handle any more thickening! It's almost a solid as it is!
Needless to say those first recipients were also the test SUBJECTS AKA Guinea pigs... (Be sure to take your purple pill!)
I'm wondering if the Event disabled that technology also. If it did (which I would expect) this leads to the question "who benefits?"
Is that what the pills her mother is taking for? To slow the effects of natural aging?
Sorry kid, there is no cure for that :(
It could be the longevity implant is malfunctioning and basically slowing her down, and the pills remedy that.
After the event, people she cared about died and everything she worked for fell apart, so I wouldn't assume her depression (and probable PTSD) are a side effect of the implant or withdrawal from the implant failing.
This is not what they gave up their lives on earth for after all, so the medication may just be an antidepressant. (They don't begin working immediately, plus it may be less potent after expiring a while ago).
The implants probably stopped working with the rest of their technology.
