Aliens +1

[Whoever is making this post seems to mainly be thinking out loud and talking very quickly.]

Alien planet, clearly. Inhabited primarily by humans. Not Earth, too sparsely populated, one of the Alliance colonies? Technology level all wrong. Retrograde amnesia also concerning. Perhaps dietary contaminants? No no no, too imprecise. Would be more endemic. Less total. No drugs I know that cause this reaction in Humans and Salarians. Must be active interference. Radiation surgery? Nanotech treatment? Other, more esoteric process? Either way, amnesia used as weapon, method of control. Must secure cure as quickly as possible. Also, matter of anemoi. No idea what they are. Memories encoded within? Not possible, anemoi exchangeable. Possibly some kind of drug. Treatment. Need to look into process for using them.

Hmm, possible there is a pattern to those afflicted with amnesia. Tell me, who else is effected?

Just to clarify, you mean a hypnotic state for yourself, right? Not someone else?

[very_model_of]

Either or. Not picky.

--Now that I think about it, any test with a control group would require two people at least.

Control group would be population of Sirocco.

That's a lot of variables to factor in. But then again, I'm not exactly a biologist, so I wouldn't really know. Hmh, just as long as you don't just grab someone off the street, I guess there's no harm...

[He seems shocked at the very idea.]

Forcing unwilling test participants? Never! Extremely unethical!

Just, err, making sure! Some might not think the same way.

[Amongst all his backpedaling he starts to wonder why he was so quick to bring up the notion himself...]

Hmm, true. Can't make assumptions. Dangerous. Unscientific.
