I'm sorry, I was just... wait, what was it again?

[There is a moment of silence.]

I'm not... certain what... sorry, nevermind.

3:35 PM:

[The feed opens.]

I'm going home; there's clearly something wrong. It seems to be-- it's-- what are those? Well, it's not me-- it... it isn't isolated, I doubt it's an actual physiological issue. But... I should not be treating patients for as long as this lasts.

[The feed closes.]

[He's clearly exasperated that he has to ask this. And that he has to do it publicly. Shut up, he forgot how to filter and his phone is at home. Craziest thing - he forgot it.]

House, which building do we live in?

Lots of memory lost today. Interesting.

[dr_conscience]

I suppose it is, though I might use a different word. Of course, I'm hardly an objective observer.

[doctor-tangent.livejournal.com]

Seen stranger things theoretically. Will keep up on the observations though. Must have a medical reason for this... Unless it is one of these "curses".

Notice anything strange?

[dr_conscience]

Curses. That was the word.

Which is also what I suspect it is at this point; we seem to be dealing with rather widespread, sudden memory loss with no associated symptoms.

[doctor-tangent.livejournal.com]

...You're forgetting about the curses? That was apparently common knowledge for everyone in the City.

It seems so. No particular targeted type of memory that I can tell. Randomly-targeted amnesia.

[thenormalsquint]

Oh, for the love of God.

[Him too... again?]

audio;

[dr_conscience]

That's strikingly similar to my own thoughts on the issue.

[dr_conscience]

I forgot what they were called. I remember the mechanics of them or, at least, enough not to realize that I've forgotten anything.

Actually... I'm sorry, but have we spoken before? I don't mean to offend if we have, but, given the circumstances...

[doctor-tangent.livejournal.com]

Strange. Will keep that in mind. Maybe find some commonality.

No. Don't think I've lost my memory. Don't think we have. Am Dr. Mordin Solus.

[dr_conscience]

Consistency and logic aren't generally popular here. Of course I don't mean to discourage any attempt to understand the City, the curses, or how it functions beyond them, but... I certainly remember enough that's happened here to tell you this is far from the strangest thing I've experienced.

I'm Dr. James Wilson; it's nice to meet you, Dr. Solus.

[doctor-tangent.livejournal.com]

Not surprised. Saw some very strange things in the past few relative months myself back "home". Not the way I expected my last decade to go. Now I'm here. Even more peculiar that what I was working on.

Ah. Am glad to make your acquaintance. I assume you work with the hospital here?

[neverplay]

I'll walk you there, Dr. Wilson.

[Not quite, Wilson. Angela's thoughts on this are more along the lines of Please don't let this be the slugs again, No, really, please don't let this be the slugs again, and I'm sure I didn't hit him this time.]

Turn on your video.

[Angela is on a mission for the truth.]

[dr_conscience]

Thank you, Mindy, but you really don't have to go to that much trouble.

audio | video;

[dr_conscience]

Uh-- alright. One second...

[He's confused by the request, but compliant. Have some audible fiddling with the device. No, really, he can figure this out.

After a moment, there's a somewhat confused Wilson on your screen, one brow arched.]

Yes?

[dr_conscience]

Well, having a less pedestrian experience in your own world certainly seems to help when dealing with the City. Can I ask what sort of world you come from?

I do; I work there, and at a clinic run by a friend of mine.

[thenormalsquint]

Let me see your ears.

[Funny how she's the one checking a doctor's ears for inflammation. Usually it's the other way around.]

video;

[dr_conscience]

There's nothing in them.

[His memories aren't that far gone yet. He frowns slightly, but complies, turning both his head and the device for each.]

See? Entirely slug-free.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

[Angela doesn't take his word for it at first--after all, those things were manipulative little bastards--but his ears look clear as far as she can see over the network. It's enough for her to breath a loud sigh of relief.]

Oh, thank God. I was afraid they came back for a sequel.

[However, this still leaves the question of why Wilson's memory is still so spotty.]

video;

[dr_conscience]

[He gives a small nod; he does clearly understand the concern.]

I don't blame you. After all, The City's hardly one to let things go so easily.

[And of course, he can assume the continued concern.]

I haven't suffered any head trauma, and I don't have any symptoms of anything else that could cause memory loss. Given that there are a number of people affected similarly, it seems most likely that it's a curse right now.

[Hey, he even remembered the word. He only had to be told once.]

video;

[thenormalsquint]

[Excuse her while she puts her head down on the desk and speaks in a muffled, yet frustrated, voice.]

I would ask the point of it, but that's a stupid question in the context of the City.

[doctor-tangent.livejournal.com]

World? I am originally from Sur'Kesh, the Salarian homeworld. Although haven't been back there in awhile.

Good. Maybe can help me. Need to find who to talk to in order to establish my rights to practice there. And possible see if they have an opening for a doctor as well.

[dr_conscience]

I probably should have phrased that as "reality" or something along those lines. Where I'm from, the world you're born on isn't really something you can relocate off of. It's still hard to remember that's not the case for everyone.

Oh-- well, generally, they do have openings. It's a big hospital, large enough City... the gaps in personnel are filled by machines, so it seems there's always room for more. What's your specialization?

video;

[dr_conscience]

[There's a softly sympathetic smile, though she'll probably miss it.]

Oh, just to keep us entertained, I'm sure. What's the point of anything?

[doctor-tangent.livejournal.com]

Thought so. Seemed a bit odd of choice of words. From year 2185 CE Earth Standard. Earth entered the galactic stage about 25 years ago. Earth having to deal with other civilizations.

Good to know. Genetics and xenobiology are my formal specializations. Can handle more.
