You wake with a pounding head and slowly open your eyes, squinting against the harsh light until your vision returns to normal. Your mouth tastes of bile and you smell the acrid scent of vomit. Slowly, you examine the room you're currently in. It contains a COMPUTER, currently displaying a DOCUMENT, and an ovular relief in the wall that looks as if it's connected to a CONTROL PAD.

read the document.

Get up, slowly, and take stock of yourself. Aside from the vomit and apparent hangover, you alright?

After that, stumble over to the computer. Read what's on the screen.

give us a brief outline of your abilities, and then check yourself for anything out of the ordinary. then read the document.

Though you feel a little nauseous, you're curious about the DOCUMENT on the computer. You stand up and take a physical assessment of yourself.
You seem lean and a little pale, but not un-fit.
You're wearing jeans and a vomit-stained buttoned shirt.
You appear to be a fairly normal individual.

Rubbing your sore head you try to remember why you're here. In fact, now that you think of it, who are you? You start to panic as you realize you have no sense of self-identity. So far as you can tell, though you seem to be fairly intelligent, everything that you should know about yourself and your life is missing. You know Pi to the hundredth digit and you could rattle off historical facts on command, but when you try to recall your own birthday you simply can't remember.

You force yourself to calm down, maybe the DOCUMENT on the computer screen can fill in some of the blanks about yourself.

You anxiously walk over and examine the screen.

So... you built a memory machine, and wiped your own memory clean? As a control group?

Yeah, that sounds plausible. I strongly suspect you're being lied to.

Browse around the computer. What else can you find there?

attempt to get any information you can from that computer, and may the testing begin. it seems likely its the only viable way to get more information.

unless you feel like sitting and waiting until the people who are undoubtedly watching you get bored.

You snort derisively. Like you're going to fall for that. You know that no sane person would trust someone who had wiped their memories- much less use a mysterious machine that was placed there by the same people!

You try click out of the DOCUMENT but are taken by surprise when it asks for a password.

How are you supposed to know a password to the computer when you don't even know your first name?!

Slowly you turn to your other option. So many choices...
[animated]

Try closing your eyes, placing your hands on the keyboard, and zone out. Move your hands without thinking about it, do whatever motion seems natural. You've entered this password a hundred times before. Maybe they wiped your mind. But your muscle memory may still be there.

If that fails, cut power to the computer, and reboot. Attempt to circumvent the password via safemode or setup. It probably won't work, but you may as well waste a minute trying in case they were sloppy.

Once we've exhausted options messing with this thing, check out the panel on the right.

A thought occurs to me, how do we know we're not ALREADY in the machine? I mean, if we had wiped our memories, which the machine works based on, we would at least have retained our memory of waking up with no memories, and seeing the note.

In either case follow >>442604
If you're in the real world, it should act normally. Otherwise, maybe the world will start falling apart when we start diverging from our one and only memory. Science!

Try 84267.

Hesitantly you turn back to the computer, thinking that if this computer really did used to be yours, then maybe you could type in the password without a memory of what it was via muscle memory.

Ooh. Dangit. They disabled your account even though your memory was erased.

Well, that confirms you used to have access to this computer or network then. Doesn't mean necessarily they're telling the truth, but you're not some shmuck they pulled in off the street at least.

Let's investigate the panel to the right, then.

Or they set up the computer to respond in that matter no matter what he typed.

Reboot the thing and try holding down various function/modifier keys to get it into safe mode/single-user mode. You've got physical access, they can't keep you out if you're patient.

>>443357
Enter a different password to test that theory.

Though, of course, they could set it up to bond to the first password typed... Never mind. Dumb test.

Though still unsure of the computers ability to help, you feel that it's time to move on. You turn back to the CONTROL PAD and type in the passcode you were given: 84267

An audible click can be heard as the POD door unlocks, then the "whir" of motors sounds as it extends out into the room. Inside the POD is a "you-shaped" depression. You can't help but feel nervous as you peer into the obviously well-planned-out POD.

>Or they set up the computer to respond in that matter no matter what he typed.
That's some good paranoia. So really, we've learned nothing.

...what the heck is the point of giving it a digital display if it's going to hide the numbers? Just so you know when you've entered enough digits? It seems like letting the user make sure he or she input the right command would be more important than security for a test subject locked alone in a room.

Unless you want to go back and try and break into the computer for useful information that may or may not even be there, it's your only option.
