I wake up in a white room that smells like smoke. There's some woman typing on a bunch of holo screens. She sees I'm awake and looks at me.

"You're up! We didn't think you'd wake up again."

"Huh..?"

"Please lay back down, this is going to come as a bit of a shock. We... Accidentally deleted all your memories.. And powers.."

"... Huh..?"

Fiiiiine. But why are the laws this way, and why not change them? Or at least allow for some wiggle room on the easy cases.

And to be perfectly honest this girl wasn't that much of a problem, I mean her efforts didn't even work so her one obsession isn't even a danger to anyone. She could even become helpful as she was. I would have rather we didn't say anything, knowing how out of proportion the reaction is. Oh well, I trust you know what you're doing.

One last question though: If WE eventually gained the ability to put her back together, minus unhealthy obsessions or mind slavery, would that be allowed?

Tell us where this place is and we'll check it out.

Sorry bro, but don't please threaten J for something we say or try. Threaten us I guess.

I mean, your probably our first threat to us ourselves ever so props for being that cool. I don't think a mindwipe would work, but you could probably fuck with our vision and shit. Just don't attack people we happen to care about to establish a punishment to us if that doesn't work. That's kinda villainous in the storybook kind of way.

I agree. Also I wanna meet the other leaders before I decide, no need to rush things right?

"Before you go I must say the orb is quite amusing. I'll put what it's saying into consideration. Good bye J."

I leave his room. Oh damn forgot to ask where I used to l-
Nevermind he just tele-told me...

>J walks into Doredia's area and to her old home. It's an apartment building that is several stories high.

Okay he said I lived in.. Ha, 1J.

"Listen, I just found out all my memories have basically been wiped out so I'm having a pretty bad day. Now if you'll stop playing with your stupid puzzle I have some questions for you; what do you know about me and where is my old room?"

"You'd better not be kidding me. I'm fucking serious. If I find out your playing a joke I will end your sad life right here and now."

"I'm not kidding, now answer my questions."

The toy stops moving and she stares at me.

"Huh, you are serious. Well I'm glad to see the new you actually grew a pair. Well I got good news and bad news. The good news is I know a bit about you so feel free to ask me anything. Bad news is I saw your place listed as Open For Rent so I had it gutted. There's already some people there but feel free to just waltz into their new house if you want."

Gutted? Damn. I don't think looking your old place will do much for you now, even without the mind blanking you'd hardly find it familiar. Ask if the old stuff is dumped somewhere or if it's already been recycled or incinerated or whatever they do here. If it's really gone ask what she remembers about it.

Now then the list of subjects: Your old name, powers, hobbies, your personality, how you dressed, the people you hung out with, places you went to and what she remembers about you when she first showed up. Also what her opinion of you was.

"Hmph.. I actually still have it, it's in my room."

"You took my stuff?"

"So uh.... What do you know about me? Like uh... What were my hobbies and stuff?"

"Fuck if I know, I was just your landlord. I know you were into plants and shit but that's it really. Uh... Damn I don't think you had any friends either. You were pretty damn boring to be honest. I mean your parents did die on you and shit."

She stops in front of one of the rooms and walks in. A device on her wrist beeps.

Nothing makes sense. Your memory, records and material assets. The "mission". Unless if your past self were a criminal. By "crime" I mean something that you know, something that your parents did, something that you represents, something that threatens the social order.

Look through the suff of the landlord of your past self. She may be hiding something.

Definitely keep those pills. The might be used to prevent taking damage from radiation, or used to counteract damage taken. Either is very important. Hopefully it has directions for us to read later.

Clothes are nice, maybe you should change into some of them right now and get out of the crazy ladies old clothes. Books I think we can just leave here. That pissy geek will probably like them and it'll save on moving around useless weight. But first skim through them, we are trying to trigger memories after all. And there might be something stuck or written in them.

This much I could understand. However, it doesn't make sense. Anyway, it isn't my intention to disrupt, hinder or hijack this misadventure. Just looking for a better understanding of the situation.

You want me to believe that a backup wasn't done, especially when this isn't an isolated occurrence? That third parties don't have ways to identify you, since all information is kept in encrypted files within your brain? That the sensible information about a new Sun Shard wasn't one of the first issues to be addressed? That her coworker, Lae, knows little to nothing about her? That her possessions were simply removed and entrusted to a landlord? That she just survived the radiation that would kill in a day Adora, the most powerful ENC user? That, unless Emril is a big fat liar, there is life outside Central Complex? That she found "Anti Radiation Pills" by chance? You want me to believe in a mind-control fascist that goes as far as to say that he is the law? That we just came out of nowhere, with no memories of past events, on possession of her, even though we're a mysterious and powerful artifact!?

Never expected one of us to be so gullible. I know! Maybe I should make obvious suggestion and stupid comments, or just sexually harass those around us! Anyway, besides the fact that our owner has no guts and morality, the funny thing is that we have little choice but to play along with this madness. Go to art stores in Doredia's place, meet the People under Mark, search for the underground Sun Shard.

Now! That Rubik's Cube! The landlord is the true owner of it? It's possible that some possessions of our coward have been stolen or confiscated.

Oh god you guys are so paranoid, seriously you are sorta freaking me out.
I get that people haven't been telling me much but from they have told me I was pretty much a loner and maybe a little depressed after losing my parents.
I dunno.. Anyway Lae is pretty much all we got. I mean I don't see any thing he can gain from lying to me.

Apologize profusely. Your curiosity, and perversion, took the best of you. Now, you have the opportunity to throw a ruse here. Say you were curious about her. Maidenly blush, timidly flatter her taste for lingerie. Finally, call her on a date. I kid you not.

It seems that Dee knows more about your old self than what she shows on the surface. She kept your belongings safe and allowed you to reclaim them, after all. A little alcohol and some seduction may break this Ice Queen facade of hers.

Before I forget. There is a medical label for the Anti Radiation Pills? Something that indicates its duration, modes of use and side effects?

The color of her panties... This information is not included in my database.

Anyway, it would be interesting to dispense her only allies, a possible link with her past or future, an artifact with mysterious MND powers.

inb4 everyone in this world knows Styx.
More than that, everyone knows and fears Styx.
Even more, everyone knows and fears Styx, who just happens to be visiting Lae for a cup of tea right now.

We should also ask Lae if he knows a Lilith.

What kind of lock? Pin and tumbler? Combination? Something else?

Tell me the type of lock, and I'll tell you how to defeat it.

Okay you guys are giving me a bigger headache then Emril was..

And don't think I won't put you on time out. Yes you're helpful but at the same time not.

Now I don't know what kind of lock the box has and I don't have anything to write on the mask with.

I don't -have- a place.
That's why you had me walking around the city.

You know. Checking out places and stuff.
Cause I'm homeless still.

Close them, since we don't want people to know there were compartments there in the first place.

Can you show us the lock with enhanced perception?

You didn't put the mask, nor tried to recall more memories! Get with the scheduled already!

Anyway, go hit on Dee. This is the only logical sequence of events. I'm deadly serious here.
