Memories not being unlocked from mind, actually downloaded into brain. Remembering things happening to other people. Only explanation. Should organize, find who has who's past.

Remember being human, fighting with electrified sword. Defeating human appearing woman with wings. A threat, enemy of mankind. Gave mercy, did not kill her, sent her into hiding. Sound familiar to anyone?

Er, did...did you say "electrified sword?" Did it look something like this?

[The camera adjusts to show Thunderseal hanging from Ky's belt.]

[very_model_of]

Yes! That sword exactly!

[ridethelightning]

Then it must have been one of my memories.

This winged girl troubles me, though. Was she particularly strong?

[very_model_of]

Not used to thinking in terms of martial arts. Prefer to just shoot people if violence is needed. Seemed strong, powerful, but unskilled.

[ridethelightning]

I see...that certainly sounds like some types of Gear. It's strange that I would let one live, though...

[very_model_of]

You seemed to deem her not a threat. Innocent.

Also possible: took form of human woman. Not the best judge of human secondary sex characteristics, but seemed to conform to general asthetic ideals of your species. Mercy possibly expression of libido.

[ridethelightning]

I! I-I highly doubt that that was it!

[very_model_of]

No? Probably desire to protect innocent conflicting with desire to accomplish duty, then.

[ridethelightning]

Er...perhaps. I, uh. Suppose that is a real possibility. Maybe...maybe it will make more sense if I can see -- rather, experience it for myself.

[very_model_of]

Understandable. Unfortunately, do not know any telepaths.

[ridethelightning]

Neither do I. Hopefully these memories will return to their rightful owners after a set period of time.

[very_model_of]

Rather optimistic. Will be studying my own solutions.

[trustycrowbar]

I was thinking the same thing. According to mine I'm a magic-slinging vampire hunter with a wife and a kid. Doesn't quite fit, you know?

Only problem is, some of these guys actually prefer the memories they borrowed. They may not be so willing to chase down who they got it from.

[very_model_of]

Hiding from reality. Counter productive, harmful in long term. But understandable. Hm.

[trustycrowbar]

Exactly. I don't blame 'em either. All we can do is straighten out the ones that are willing to accept the truth, and the others will follow eventually.

...Speaking of which, you see Rudolph around lately? [Funny, how he doesn't call him "Doctor Van Richden" now.] I, uh... guess I need to talk to him.

[very_model_of]

Usually in library.

[nomen_est_numen]

"I would like to know whose memory it is I ended up receiving, yes."

[very_model_of]

"More interested in who has my memories."

[nomen_est_numen]

"That... could be dangerous in the wrong hands..."

[very_model_of]

"Was a doctor. Incredible potential for misuse. Many medicines lethal when applied incorrectly."
