A bit of a vague question, I know. But out of curiosity, how advanced was the technology from your homeworlds? Is it close to how things are here on El Nysa? Or was it something closer to Thessa Station?

How difficult was it for you all to adjust to your lifestyles here because of it?

[Just a casual question. There's no ulterior motive or purpose to this what-so-ever.]

[ Um. ]

All of them?

[objectionattorney]

Hah. Well dang. Go figure someone had been curious about this stuff long before I had even thought about it. All right, since that's the case I won't hold anything back.

When you say 'all of them' you wouldn't have happened to of tried peaking into the functions of the stasis chambers, have you?

[impavid]

[ Where... are... you... going with this? ]

Why?

[objectionattorney]

[Don't worry John, he's not going to keep too much information from you.]

Would morbid curiosity be a suitable answer?

There have been too many strange things happening with the stasis pods these days. People remembering things they didn't previously remember. People forgetting things that have happened. Even people aging up and down physically by considerable margins.

There has to be an explanation for all that stuff, right?

[impavid]

Sure, but in going into memory stuff you're going into biological and chemical stuff as a possibility. Not really just a computer system thing.

I think the party line is something to do with the storm, but I was under the impression the storm couldn't reach us here.

[objectionattorney]

But it has to be something the programming itself that should be triggering these biological changes to occur, right?

I suppose to do with the storm would make sense though... I do know that before waking up here that we've all been exposed to it by some degree. But why would it only affect us while we're in stasis?

[impavid]

I don't think it has to be the pods themselves. That's happened to me twice now down on the planet, a good amount of time apart. Nothing specific happened either time to trigger it.

[objectionattorney]

Wait!

It happened to you?

Like, it seriously happened to you?

[Dude!]

[impavid]

[ Ummmm.... ]

Yes?

[ Will he regret this admission? ]

[objectionattorney]

What was it like? Were you just casually going about your usual day when suddenly 'spontaneous new memories'?

.... Did you physically change at all?

[impavid]

Actually, I lost memories and got younger.

[objectionattorney]

But... How do you know you lost your memories? Did someone run into you that older you previously knew?

... How old were you before this?

Wait. How old are you in general? I don't think I ever asked.

[impavid]

[ This is a lot of questions. ]

Well it happened to me twice and both times it kinda undid itself eventually. And both times someone was around who knew me, yeah

[objectionattorney]

[You piqued his curiosity John and now he wants to know about all the things.]

Wait, what do you mean it 'undid' itself? You mean you've just been fluctuating between other physical states and the one you are now?

Do you remember anything from the times you changed then?

[impavid]

[ Ummmm? ]

Yes, I've been fluctuating -- and yeah, I remember everything.

[ Honestly, he wishes he didn't. You can't always get what you want. ]

[objectionattorney]

[This is information that can affect him and all his loved one's John! It's a little important!]

And when your age changed? Did you remember the you that you are now?

[impavid]

No. When I changed I was getting younger and had the memories to match.

[objectionattorney]

Younger huh? So like twenty? Don't tell me you were a teenager.

[impavid]

It happened more than once, though I physically stayed the same age one time and just lapsed a couple of years of memories.

[ We're not talking about how he was a teenager. ]

[objectionattorney]

Yeah, that certainly was a great way to evade my question by offering an answer to something I asked a few comments ago.

[He's just going to imagine the worst and picture a sweet adorable baby-John.]

All right. How long were the intervals in which you were stuck like that?

[impavid]

Am I getting paid for filling out this survey?

[ Because wow there are so many questions. ]

[objectionattorney]

Only if you fill out this contract legally obligating you to answer any question I have bar-none.

[Yeah. He's fucking with you.

But you were the one who decided to help him out to begin with. You don't have to be so nice John.]

But you should have known this was going to happen considering questioning the whole matter was literally the basis behind the creation of this post. Right?

[impavid]

Just between us, the topic has strayed from what you originally asked. Which was 'How advanced was technology in your home'. We're now in 'tell me all about your personal experienced with randomly getting younger' territory.

[objectionattorney]

I mean, it was kind of obvious that there were reassons behind why I was asking that question. You just happened to answer in just the right way that you're able to get this far into my line of questioning.

But if this is getting too tedious for you, we can absolutely stop.

Just means I'll need to figure out the answers to the rest of my questions some other way.
