Unity: Afterparty Corentin: Ah, Juni, Tamu... we are glad you could make it. / Tamu: Hello Chandra, Kandra. I see your discoveries are coming along. / Juni: Hi. / Purple dinosaur thing: yes, quite! to hear of our precursors... / Corentin: Thanks in no small part to you both! The insight you gave us was particularly helpful, Juni. I take it you are returning to your duty soon? / Juni: I'm not sure, things are still a bit hazy- / Tamu: What it means is that it's still trying to adjust to a few changes. / Red thing: interesting that office Melrose was there, yes? / White squiddy thing: No, why would that be odd? It is right behind you, by the way. / Kali Rosha: Excuse me... / Background character: This text is way too small to read. / Background character: We are just background characters. / Juni: Er, yes, I suppose- / Kali: Excuse me! Kali Rosha, Southern Daily Axis. Officers Corentin, I have several questions towards the lecture. May I have some moments? / Corentin: Certainly. / Kali: Melrose, I have not forgotten about you. / Corentin: Sounds ominous. We should catch up! Ta.

Unity: After-afterparty walk Juni: So, I just have to ask... those two, who gave the lecture...? / Tamu: Yes, Chandra and Kandra Corentin. Twin siblings. Fellow science officers of yours, and quite the pair. The one is autistic, you see, so the other speaks for them both. / Tamu: Quite blood-warming, really... they share everything - credit, title, rank - and they refer to themselves as "we." / Juni: So which one's which? / Tamu: They are Chandra and Kandra. / Juni: And? / Tamu: And that is it.

Unity: Foment Juni: So where did Sam go, anyway? / Tamu: Oh, he didn't tell you? He decided to go home early. / Tamu: Actually, I had been hoping to talk about your working relationship with him... / Tamu: He has been under a lot of stress for the past round, and the pressure is getting to him. He's grown a bit... edgy. / Juni: I really wouldn't know. / Tamu: Oh, come now, he threatened to kill that reporter. He needs a vacation. I suggest you give him one. / Tamu: And please, apologize to Kali Rosha the next time you talk. / Tamu: The last thing we need is more cries for revolution.

Unity: It's oh so quiet Juni: Sam? I'm home. / Juni: Sam? / Juni: [[thinking]] Quiet. / [[Juni walks into the bedroom room with the purple jacket folded over one arm. A note lies on the bed, written in Hiero.]] / Juni: [[reading]] Dear Juni, I'm sorry, but I need some time <[[in Sam's voice]]to think about things|[[in internal non-voice]]away from you>. I'm staying with Cyn. When things settle down, hopefully you'll know where to find me. / Juni: [[thinking]] Great.

Unity: a hollow voice says [[Juni sleeps.]] / Voice: Keep running. / [[Juni sees a Kayohash silhouetted by a circle of light.]] / Voice: Keep running. / Voice: You can't get away. / Juni: Who are you? / Voice: You can't get away. / Voice: I am right behind you Juni.

Unity: Entanglement [[things in a paper-cutout style]] / Juni: Who are you? / Other Juni: Why, I'm you, of course. Of all the people to forget. / Other Juni: [[appearing as a human]] But I guess your're not feeling quite yourself lately. / Juni: [[thinking]] Careful who you play with. / Juni: [[appearing as a slug]] What? Why can't I move my legs? / [[Juni, legs wrapped up in the blanket, wakes up and falls out of bed.]] / Juni: Bwuh!

Unity: Juni drops the K-bomb Juni: OW! Jar-breezing Kessel on a mother's foetal spray! / Juni: [[thinking]] Ow, my tail... / Juni: [[thinking]] Gah, what a weird dream... I haven't had one of those in a while. / Juni: [[thinking]] When was the last time? / Juni: [[internal non-voice]] About a round ago / Juni: [[thinking]] Hmm, yeah, about a - / Juni: [[thinking]] I remember it? / Juni: [[internal non-voice]] Find a data node.
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20071024.php
Unity: In Rememoriam Juni: Where would I keep it? / Juni: [[inner non-voice]] Drawer? / Juni: Oh yeah, there it is. / Juni: Hi, Tamu, I'm sorry to wake you so early but something happened and now I can remember some things! / Tamu: Huh? / Tamu: Oh, uh... Like what, exactly? / Juni: Um... like how to call you on a data node, for a start. / Tamu: An excellent point. We should discuss this over caffeine, at our normal spot. / Juni: Chao's? / Tamu: Indeed. I'll meet you there in two kaysecs.
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20071026.php
Unity: Wired a little differently Tamu: Well, you do certainly seem to be back to your old self, Juni. So, tell me, what brought this on? / Juni: I had a dream. / Juni: I was talking to myself... I mean literally, to a another me. And when I woke up, I realized I could remember some things. / Tamu: I see. And in this dream, were you nude? / Juni: Yes, why? / Tamu: Oh, no reason. / Juni: [[To passerby]] Hey, what the breeze you staring at?! / Passerby: N-nothing, Officer.
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20071029.php
Unity: Live nude physicists Juni: Why is everybody staring?! / Tamu: You really don't know? Oh, for... Juni. You're stark naked. / Juni: I know. What's your point? / Tamu: Well it's not considered entirely conventional in our polite society. / Juni: So? After being in that place for so long I just got used to not having... / Juni: Wait, that's not... Ooh, that simping Kessel! Tamu, I have to talk to Juni. / Tamu: To... oh, the clone? I see. I'll call for transport to campus. / Tamu: ... discreet transport.
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20071031.php
 
Unity: On point Tamu: I take it Sam is not presently working for you? He would never have allowed you to go out in such a state. / Juni: I never even got a chance to talk to him. He's staying with his sister. / Juni: Left a note saying things were too crazy... wanted me to wait to find him until I remembered how to. Which I do. / Juni: Not that I care now. He's such a poopyhead... Never came to visit me when I was so... / Juni: Uh... / Juni [hitting itself]: Argh! Wrong memories! Stupid stupid stupid! / Tamu: Hm. So you'll talk to him soon? / Juni: Gah, no. / Juni: I think he may have a point.
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20071102.php
Unity: What, what, what? Juni: What building is this? I thought computational psychiatry was across campus. / Tamu: Mm, well, given yesterday, I doubt it would be wise to put you in the same room as the simulation supernode again. / Juni: What? It's fine. If I go nuts again, you can just zap me. I'm not even wearing anything to destroy this time. / Tamu: Oh, the concern isn't for you , but for the simulation. We had to roll it back to before your encounter... So much wasted- / Juni: What?! Asking it what happened was the reason I wanted to- / Tamu: Oh, was it? I thought you had just taken an interest in psychiatry.
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20071105.php
Unity: Justifiable skepticism Tamu: Fortunately it's fivesday, so we don't have to worry about lab availability. / Juni: Lab? Where are you taking me? / Tamu: Oh, don't be so fatalistic. We are going to experiment. / Juni: With what? / Tamu: With you, to figure out how it is the machine can talk to you. / Juni: Doesn't it just send data to my implant? / Tamu: No, of course not. We removed that as soon as we copied yout neural patterns. / Juni: Oh... / Juni: Wait... Then how is Sam still able to zap me to sleep? / Tamu: A very good question. I never told him the implant was removed, but his protocol transmitter still seemed to work on you. / Tamu: My guess is the reasons are related.
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20071107.php
Unity: Internal Dialog Juni: [[ thinking]] How did my life even come to this, lying on a cold metal table while an absent-minded psychiatrist runs random and ill-conceived experiments on my memory? / Juni: [[thinking]] Sure, he's my superior officer and and my friend, but maybe I should just live with what I have? / Juni: [[Internal non-voice, in blue, mostly obscured]] something important / Juni: [[thinking]] I guess there something I discovered which we need to know. This just seems so one-sided, though. / Juni: [[internal non-voice]] Maybe if I cooperate I can get tenure / Juni: [[thinking]] I'd be the first tenured Kayohash in Southern- oh, but I wasn't native-hatched. / Juni: [[intertnal non-voice]] laws are malleable / Tamu: Juni? We're about to begin. / Juni: Okay. / Voice: [[word balloon with irregularly scalloped and crenelated edges]] ...? / Juni: What? / Tamu: Yes, Juni? / Juni: Did you just ask me a question? / Tamu: No, I said we were about to begin. / Juni: No, after that. I thought I smelled your voice.
