[Stephen is so fucking over this.

It's only the fact that he knows which buttons do what that he can get the video on at all and he definitely doesn't look like a happy camper, not with the frown he was wearing.]

So this... memory loss thing. Anyone made any progress on figuring out a way around it?

[His brows twitched lower as his frown deepens into an annoyed sort of scowl, trembling fingers drumming restlessly against the open pages of a book.]

Not having much luck on my end.

[For a reason he's not getting into with all and sundry.]

[Don't you try and use logic on him you little fucker]

It seems to hit different types of memories too in each person. Specific things for some, general chunks of time for others.

Immunity is a possibility given it's not clustered, whatever it is. You have some people in a group coming up missing things, but others not. With the close quarters most are in with the housing, you'd think it'd spread like wildfire.

[ TOO LATE ASSHOLE ]

You would think. But it hasn't. The next guess would be randomized and yet specific memories being wiped doesn't fall in line with that theory.

[ He reaches up to rub at his face. ]

There's no pattern I can distinguish from what I know. Could the source be a person?

[suckstobestrange]

[Wow rude.]

We'd need to know where everyone hit has been for... at least a week, maybe two, depending if this has an incubation period or if it just takes hold the second it hits. If there's a specific patient zero, a pattern would show, people in similar areas, or along a discernible path.

[He grimaced as he was speaking, fingers stopping their drumming with a thump of palm against the page. Maybe a little too forcefully, if the flash of a wince was any hint.]

Problem being not everyone remembers that information.

[potentialed]

Careful.

[ It's almost an aside as he can hear how hard he's doing his fingers, the wince only proving it. ]

Do you think it would be worth it to take a poll? Ask on the Network if they have forgotten things recently? Might be the only way we can get a headcount.

[While his glower deepens a bit at the aside, he thankfully doesn't snap back at the other man for it.]

Might be useful. Another problem is if this is temporary or not, like the last round of memory altering that happened.

[He busted back to square one on magic like fuck he's staying busted back on anything else if he can help it.]
