[ This is not the syndicate laboratory. The boy looks around himself in a panic before noticing the message playing on the headset he's been given. The welcome message makes sense, he guesses; the list of crimes, not so much. There are a couple that he can understand why, in theory, somebody might accuse him of them, but he has no idea where most of the rest of them came from.

He's never even driven a car before, let alone without a license. Or while asleep.

And he's never heard of any MarinaNova Asylum. Well, that's easily solved with a simple lookup. Standing right there in the middle of the sidewalk in Sector 2, paying no mind to the storm damage surrounding him, he closes his eyes and spreads his arms to his sides.

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing. He can't access the Gaia Library. This... is not good. ]

[ The boy on the video feed is visibly disheveled. His hair is a mop-like mess and there's a look of disorientation in his eyes that goes beyond the usual new arrival. ]

What is this place? I can't look anything up. I need to-- my research, I can't be here--

	I know that much. [ He can read :I ] I should have heard of it. I know everything. But I can't look it up. Something's blocking me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You mean the barricades around the library? That's temporary. Probably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Temporary? It shouldn't be possible to begin with! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, it got hit by a tornado and the roof is missing, so it's kind of possible I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What got hit by a tornado? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video] greenerarrow 2014-10-15 02:22 am UTC (link)
	The library. You know, the place we were just talking about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What? No, not that kind of library. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're not going to be able to get to any other kind from here. It's not exactly like you can commute from prison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sheesh, you're useless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[So much frowning.] I'm guessing whatever kind of library you do mean never taught you how to play nice with people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ The look on his face is very much "Why should I care about that kind of thing". ] The infinite database of the Earth's memories does not exist for such trifling matters. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm going to say something, and you might want to pay attention. Consider it a public service.

Dealing with other people is important. Other people are the ones you're going to need to work with if you want to get access to your infinite database back. Other people are the ones who are going to help you figure this place out. And other people are the ones choosing whether or not to kick your ass.

	[ Other people. Ugh. He is visibly displeased by this information. ] Other people have rarely been anything more than a nuisance to me. Why do you think you'll be any different? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video] greenerarrow 2014-10-16 03:42 am UTC (link)
	Because I said so. [Jackass.] I don't remember you being this much of a pain last time you were here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah? Then how did I know you're name was Philip? [Ha!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...That is your name, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video] noosphere 2014-10-16 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Of course not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video] greenerarrow 2014-10-16 05:14 am UTC (link)
	Then what is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...It's a secret? [Not so sure about that guess though.] You don't remember it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't have one. [ Nobody's ever called him by one, in any case. It never occurred to him until now that that might be unusual. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She looks thoughtful.] How is it you don't have a name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video] noosphere 2014-10-20 05:01 am UTC (link)
	I suppose I just don't need one. Nobody has ever asked me if I had one before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
