Narrative:
I was working the 89R position when WX was starting to affect the complexity of the sector, when alerted to the situation between aircraft XXX and aircraft YYY. I issued vectors to both and an altitude change to aircraft XXX. Supplemental information from acn 520847: I was working 89D when I observed the conflict between aircraft XXX and aircraft YYY. I informed the radar controller and continued to answer land lines and assist the radar controller so he could focus on traffic. WX and aircraft deviations were becoming a distraction. Aircraft were being taken off route because of hilltop (MOA).

Title: ZID ASSOCIATE HDOF CTLR ALERTS RADAR CTLR OF PENDING CONFLICT AND THE ZID RADAR CTLR IS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN STANDARD SEPARATION.
Narrative: I WAS WORKING THE 89R POS WHEN WX WAS STARTING TO AFFECT THE COMPLEXITY OF THE SECTOR, WHEN ALERTED TO THE SIT BTWN ACFT XXX AND ACFT YYY. I ISSUED VECTORS TO BOTH AND AN ALT CHANGE TO ACFT XXX. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 520847: I WAS WORKING 89D WHEN I OBSERVED THE CONFLICT BTWN ACFT XXX AND ACFT YYY. I INFORMED THE RADAR CTLR AND CONTINUED TO ANSWER LAND LINES AND ASSIST THE RADAR CTLR SO HE COULD FOCUS ON TFC. WX AND ACFT DEVS WERE BECOMING A DISTR. ACFT WERE BEING TAKEN OFF RTE BECAUSE OF HILLTOP (MOA).
