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.]]

"Yeah, great. A bunch of assholes get to stare at the worst night of my life and watch my family fucking die--fuck this bullshit." She slams a fist into a memory-dumpster. It doesn't change anything, but it does kind of make her feel better to hit something.

"I don't even want to remember this but fuck if it isn't on fucking repeat in my head."

"That's usually the way it goes, yeah." Family dying - the connection is made against Saturday's will, and her own nightmare flickers to life in the alley, bleeding into the scene. A cold lab, strewn with dead medical staff. Blood and scorch marks on the wall. An orc woman's vivisected body lies on a slab; a different Saturday is clutching it, screaming.

" - oh, come the fuck on!"

Kenzie freezes as the memory shifts--and now it is someone else's pain on display. Raw grief and anger. She stares for a moment, feeling suddenly and intensely awkward. She didn't like her feelings being on display and there is an acute feeling of understanding and embarrassed unhappiness that Saturday, too, must undergo this.

"...I'm sorry," she says after a long silence. Her voice is husky, scratched raw by her grief.

"This is bullshit."

Saturday looks away, sharing her embarrassment and trying to save face for them both. They'd sent the video of it over the comms, made them all watch -

"...she did come back. It meant another fucking deal with something an' - well, she came back."

Saturday focuses on that, on the memory of Scylla awake in the airship again; the two of them curled together like cats on her hospital bed.

"That's the important part. Most don't."
