Choosers of the Slain, Event Relic 2, She Came from Places Far Beyond his Knowing, is now posted.
A due respect for the privacy of the dead requires public attention be moderated, lest it collapse the probability cloud into certainty. It is possible that the events depicted here are, and have been, subject to later revision, and never have had taken place. While that possibility remains viable, the Curator bans further observation.
But her name can be revealed: Sigrune.
Choosers of the Slain, Event Relic 1, The Time was Autumn, is now posted.
The Curator of the Museum of Man demurs from releasing the date, or other temporal coordinate information, from the depiction of these events, as it is not verified whether, as of the last redaction of the aeon in question, they remain in a state of Shroedinger-waveform uncertainty.
All that is known is that the time was autumn.
Forgotten Causes, 09 Burial Detail, is now posted.
This is the end. But not for me.
Forgotten Causes, 08 Rescue Operation, is now posted.
You got to try to rescue the girl, at least try, even if she might be a robot. Even if it does not work.
Not everyone gets a happy ending. You try.
Forgotten Causes, 07 Countermeasures, is now posted.
Who would fight a war across the uncountable distances and meaningless emptiness of space? The damn nothingness is so damn big and so damn empty that everything men dream about doing, every cause they dream about fighting for, or against, means not a damn thing; not a damn thing at all; not hatred, not revenge, not anything.
Should I give the order to open fire?
Forgotten Causes, 06 Targeting Elements, is now posted.
Negotiations broke down, and ended up in gunfire.
One good thing about being an amnesiac, is that I could not tell if this kind of thing was a habit with me. But somehow I think it is.
Forgotten Causes, 05 Cooperation Required, is now posted.
Good cop, bad cop routine. You know the drill. Having a gun pointed at my head always puts me in a bad mood.
But I have to admit, the dark-haired beauty asked a good question: what was the point in dying for a forgotten cause?
Forgotten Causes, 04 Posthuman Envoy, is now posted.
If she wasn’t human, she sure looked it.
Forgotten Causes, 03 Memory Discontinuity, is now posted.
If this entry is disjointed, I am leaving it that way since that is what it seemed to be. Maybe nightmare. Maybe worse.
They say that at times, forgetting is a blessing. Now if I could only remember who “they” were, I would know what to make of it.
Forgotten Causes, 02 Defense Condition, is now posted.
First contact and engagement with unknown hostiles was non-optimal. Sure, it looks like a total CF, but I feel I won that fight.
Forgotten Causes, 01 Secure Mission Posture, is now posted.
Before I forget: This is not my after-action report. I’ll do that after I kill myself again, and turn into him. If he is still me, he can put it into proper context.
But in case he is not me, I wanted a brain-record of my raw impressions of how the cluster-foxtrot went down, from my point of view. This me, I mean.
Broken into several entries.

Last Report on Unit Twenty-Two, Section Three, Transcription of Concluding Radio Traffic, is now posted.
Last Report on Unit Twenty-Two
This is a reconstruction and transcription of the concluding segment of radio traffic between 22 and K71 translated from binary neuro-code.
Meeting notes contain a final report on Unit K71 as well.
Be it noted that the linguistic department wishes this segment and the one prior to be examined for evidence of neuro-semiotic psychological aberration, particularly in light of Unit 22 deducing the meaning of words and concepts on the UNACCEPTABLE list. The security department recommends against such examination.
Last Report on Unit Twenty-Two, Section Two, Transcription of Preliminary Radio Traffic, is now posted.
Last Report on Unit Twenty-Two
This is a reconstruction and transcription of the initial segment of radio traffic between 22 and K71 translated from binary neuro-code to colloquial Nearnglish. It has been edited for clarity and linear continuity.
The final decision by 22 to disobey orders took place in a second segment of radio impulses. This first segment contains the preliminary evidence of mental deviation from conformity. The source of the deviation is unclear. This file is included for context.
Last Report on Unit Twenty-Two, Section One, Committee Notes, is now posted.
