So you've done this before? Lived among humans as one of them...
I don't know if I've ever lived before. Innovades have their memories erased between incarnations. However, some are allowed to keep them. It depends on what is needed from them at the time they are awakened.
[With current happenings, VEDA had been allowing him to retain his previous memories and knowledge each time. However, those times had been short and close together, without him being dormant inside the system between each. If he were to sleep like the others, part of him felt VEDA would 'reset' him like it did to others, but he wasn't certain.]
