If anyone is familiar with this symbol, I'd be interested in talking with you.



---

Also, I'd like to ask those that were feeling better yesterday some questions; either personally or here. Mostly about what effects may have been noticed the day or night before if any, how the treatment felt, and if the effect of the treatment is ongoing. Any helpful information is welcome.

I've been thinking about this since I woke up. I wish I could give details, but I can't seem to remember any kind of special treatment. My nurse seems to agree on this point as well. It's as though I simply... "woke up" in the morning.

Was there anything else out of the usual? Headaches or anything, for example?

- Brainiac 5

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell, there wasn't any treatment to feel. No build-up, no real lingering effects, zilch, zero, and nada.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

So there wasn't anything out of the ordinary before hand? It doesn't matter if it doesn't seem important, anything could be relevant.

- Brainiac 5

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Like I said, nothing. Nothing physical, mental, or environmental. The day before was bland as all get out, as usual, and the rest of it was as well.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the information. I suppose it'd be too easy if this could be solved just with a few basic questions...

[The script appears dark and forceful, as though the author were quite angry.]

The [hesitation mark here] day before last, I had received specialized [another hesitation mark] treatment. I attribute yesterday's effects to that treatment.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

I believe I have an idea of what you mean.

Was is part of the sleep studies?

- Brainiac 5

[Still anon and disguised]

[lawful_perfect]

It was.

Apparently, mine was not the only instance of this. [A neat arrow is drawn to ZEX's reply.]

[kingside]

As others have said, there was no treatment, and I've felt no lingering effects. I'd be interested in meeting with you to discuss this matter further, too, among other things.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Alright. When would be the best time for you? I'm not sure if I may have another therapy session today, so I don't know if I'll have time for a meeting until tomorrow.

- Brainiac 5

[kingside]

If it's tomorrow, anytime after breakfast should be fine. If it's today, I'm free after second shift unless I also have a therapy session.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow might be best then. I have plans to meet with someone else for a similar discussion fourth shift.

Directly after breakfast or would you prefer lunch?

- Brainiac 5

[kingside]

Lunch. It's less likely we'll have to reschedule if either of us has a therapy session after breakfast tomorrow instead.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Agreed. If you're unfamiliar with me, I have a distinctive marking on my forehead that resembles this:



- Brainiac 5

[kingside]

I'll remember it. See you then.

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Well...I did have a headache the day before, but it seems like I always have a headache. Am I the only one who hasn't gone back to being crazy what I was before?

...that's a bit disconcerting.

-Geoffrey

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Yes. It is a little odd, isn't it?

- Brainiac 5

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

...you're going to beat me with a pipe again, aren't you.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

[The above has been taken down]

That's not what I wrote. I just find that fact curious, that's all.

- Brainiac 5

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

I-I'm sorry! I didn't--

Let me try again?

Well, I'm supposed to be like this, so...perhaps whatever affected everyone else just set me right again?

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's a possibility...

It's something I'll look into at any rate. And I suppose in the meantime, the effect is positive for you, so it could be worse.

- Brainiac 5

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

...yes, it could be worse. I'd rather not change back, if you please.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

I'm the last person to force anyone to be something they don't want to be.

All I'm doing at the moment is looking into what might have caused this event in the hopes of aiding others and learning more about our situation.

- Brainiac 5

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Well, I wish you luck then. It seems not everyone is as pleased as I am with the change.

[moral-liberty.livejournal.com]

I felt something the night before. I heard a song, and became unfocused.

However, there is no clear connection besides timing.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

A song? That's the first I've heard of anything like this. Could you maybe elaborate further?

- Brainiac 5

[moral-liberty.livejournal.com]

It's become difficult to remember, but I will try. Now I have many memories that are not my own.

Shortly after the doors opened, something changed in me. However, it was not the same as I felt yesterday. I was myself, but without humanity. There was a song that was playing, but it could not be heard.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

...you're not making any sense. How can a song have been playing without being heard? Unless... were you the only person to hear it in the area?

And what do you mean by being yourself but without humanity?

[runner-up-robot.livejournal.com]

When I woke up, someone else was in control of this body. He thought I was made-up. Then this morning, I was here again. I went straight from awake to waking up, the same as every night.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Did you feel particularly distant during that time? As in, was it like someone else was in control and you were watching, or did you feel as though you were that person?

- Brainiac 5

[runner-up-robot.livejournal.com]

I guess I felt like I was him. I was gone, he was there instead. But he remembered everything I'd done, and it's fuzzy, but I remember what he did.

[wantsyourzex.livejournal.com]

I also had specialized treatment the night before last, and attributed my change in behavior in part to that.

I was also hallucinating with increasing severity yesterday, reaching its apex sometime last night. It appears to have reverted to its previous levels this morning. I am not sure if these two things are related.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Anything could be useful, thank you. Are the hallucinations continuing?

- Brainiac 5

[wantsyourzex.livejournal.com]

They are. I suspect they may follow the same pattern as yesterday, but I'll have to see.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if they're related to what people experienced yesterday, but all the same they should logically mean something.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you hallucinating?

- Brainiac 5

[wantsyourzex.livejournal.com]

One would hope, but it seems that logic has little place here so far.

It's difficult to describe. They move quickly in and out of focus, so it's difficult to get a good look at them. There are a lot of them, and they seem malevolent, whatever they are. I have a fairly wide knowledge of interstellar fauna, and they look like nothing I've ever seen before.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Don't be absurd. Logic has to do with everything.

So you're hallucinating aliens then?

- Brainiac 5

[wantsyourzex.livejournal.com]

They are not any species of alien I'm familiar with, and I'm familiar with a lot of them. I'm not sure what they are.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

But your lack of familiarity doesn't mean that they aren't an alien species. This may come as a surprise to you, but the universe - or omniverse as the case may be - is an extremely large place. Unless you have very efficient means of transportation, which I doubt, and a nearly limitless amount of time on your hands, also unlikely, then it simply isn't possible for you to be familiar with almost every alien species.

- Brainiac 5

[toobothersome.livejournal.com]

I didn't feel better yesterday and I was part of the sleep studies.

If it's like the other thing that happened, it only affected a specific demographic. If you figure out this demographic and the next, etc etc, there might be a pattern or something that'd show a motivation.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Obviously. Why did you think I was asking?

Though, it is interesting that you were a part of the sleep studies and unaffected. Further proof that the sleep studies are likely unrelated, since people were better yesterday who had no such experiences.

- Brainiac 5

[toobothersome.livejournal.com]

I meant stuff like if certain things had happened before they came here, or they had particular skills or roles back then. Seemed like you were only looking for info on the treatment, but if you're checking that too, forget I brought it up. Idle suggestion.

Anyway, it's good someone's got this covered.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

If I asked everything I was investigating in one note, the nurses would likely take the information down, not to mention people start to complain if you require them to read 'too much', from my experiences.

This is possibly the least effective method of looking into the problems here, but I have to do something.
