It's been... hectic. This experiment- or whatever it is, is just another reminder of how twisted life here can be.

Indeed. As if we needed the additional reminders. It's almost as if you can't speak to anyone without finding a conflict somewhere.

Hm... Has anyone you know been affected? [Everyone he's spoken to so far still seemed to be relatively the same.]

Practically everyone in some way, though I'm not discounting myself, either. Even in my own household there have been issues.

[A mild frown appears on his features at that.] Albert didn't seem too different when I spoke to him the other day.

Did you discuss the situation at all? Because I think you, of all people, might have noticed...

... Noticed what? [Albert was every bit the diligent Renegade Major he always was. If there was anything off about his memories, it didn't show.]

Albert... thinks he's from Tethe'alla. No, not thinks... is. He even has an exsphere.

... Your memories say otherwise?

That's right. [Pause.] ... Wait. So you mean ... that doesn't seem out of the ordinary to you?

No, it doesn't. He was one of my most accomplished high-ranking officers. ... You don't even recall him being from our world?

[It isn't uncommon for people from different worlds to live together, but the thought of Albert being Raine's housemate if he were not from Tethe'alla is rather... odd.]

He did say he was with the Renegades. And no... I do not.

Did you get anyone else's... opinion on the matter? Caesar, perhaps?

Caesar and I have a similar opinion on the matter.

That's... [It's already frustrating enough for one person to have altered memories, but two? Regardless of which notion is correct, things just got a hell of a lot more complicated.]

I wonder just how far these discrepancies reach.

Given the size of the village, it's difficult to say. One would have to poll each person individually.

[And nobody would bother to do that. Of course.]

... I should hope these slight memory modifications don't lead to anything too harmful.

[It's not like it hasn't been thought of. But with the number of people refusing to believe that they were wrong, the amount of people who'd likely ignore efforts... some things there was just no point in doing unless the problem without a doubt would last longer than anticipated.]

I wouldn't call them slight, if people are believing they've lived entirely different lives in some cases. Should it lead to something more damaging, I hope we'll be able to do some damage control while here. If it persists for longer than a week, then we can start the worrying process.

Yes... I seem to recall experiments occasionally lasting longer than one week when I first arrived here, but that hasn't happened for quite a while, now.

The last time it happened was about a year ago. No... actually, I believe the experiment that occurred around Halloween also lasted a long time.

Halloween... That incident with the moon and the peculiar masks?

That's correct.

That other memory alteration experiment- the one where everyone believed they were born in this world and related to one another... It lasted ten days as well, didn't it?

It did, although if you recall, we were informed that it was intended for it to last longer.

I'm rather relieved that it didn't. [He's actually a little worried that all the messing with people's memories is going to cause permanent damage, some day. The shorter the experience, the better.]
