3..2...1...CONTACT!

Who: The New Hires
What: Sudden Memory Share
Where: Their Memory Palaces
When: After "Don't Touch That Dial"
Warnings/Notes: Possible in every memory, warn in subject lines.

Contact.

It's during a pause in their day. A nap. An idle moment looking across the Top Deck. Taking a slow breath between reps in the training room.

The New Hires are connected. Mental pathways locking together, they're forced into one another's innermost beings. Thrust into one another's memory palaces where the mind collects and stores everything that makes them who they are. The core of their beings are only a few steps away and no one can help the violation.

To make matters worse, it comes with no explanation or no ability to pull out and stop. Once they're through the first memory, perhaps they can find a way out, but they're already witnessing some event from their host's past. And, if they left, who knows whether or not they'd end up accidentally invading another memory palace?

And if they were there, who was in theirs?

[[So, how this works: the memories can either be viewed in spectator mode or the guest can be experiencing everything themselves. The person whose memories are being shown, the host, can watch as their current self or take the form they had of their past self. They can talk about the memory with the "guest" that's visiting.

They cannot control the first memory shown, the player decides that, but they can control any other memories they'd like to show people after. Of course, there's also always the option of an extreme emotional reaction bringing up other memories unbidden.]]

"Then make me understand-" But Price is gone before he can hear that Dan asks that sincerely, truly, earnestly wants to understand because he does care. He cares, and that reality is independent of any way Price can lash out at him. He isn't trying to be challenging; he's trying to offer help keeping the line of communication open.

But now Price is gone. Dan's left in a desert that's slowly fading away, watching as the family he watched die fades into the air, as the sun dissolves, the air gets moist and heavy instead of static-shock dry. And he's left without a person to try and help, without someone else's problems to occupy his mind.

Just him and his grief, a world alone.
