1. Facts & Reassurances
While Mnemosyne helps to break down the barriers between your mind
and the minds of your fellow patients, it also weakens the barriers between the
compartments of your mind. Memories, dreams, books, movies—all of these may
mix together. To help you distinguish fact from fiction, we have prepared this
guide to the world you live in. You may treat the following statements about the
world as true:
﴿ It Is the late twenty-second century. Technology has leapt ahead of many
expectations. New energy sources made dependence on fossil fuels a thing
of the past. Improvements in materials science made possible the creation of
large, humanoid robotic exoskeletons for construction, exploration, and even
sport. There are inhabited colonies on Luna, Mars, even a few mining and
research stations as far out as the asteroid field.
﴿ the alIens brought mankInd a new war. While conflict was not completely eradicated
from Earth, the first steps into extra-solar space were met with violence and
destruction. Some inhuman things lay in wait beyond the Rim and they have
offered neither quarter nor council. All attempts to leave the Sol system have
been met with destruction. Now they’re pushing into the system itself, and
even staging raids on Earth!
﴿ you are a member of the earth defense dIrectorate. The EDD recruits the best and
brightest of Earth from both the cream of research scientists to the most brutal
of interrogation specialists and the best human mecha pilots in the system.
Some of those recruited evidence traces of what once was referred to as
“psychic power” but which we now know to be quantum awareness. You are
the best trained and best prepared of humanity and while you do not
evidence superhuman physical ability, all EDD members are near the peak of
human potential.

2. ﴿ your condItIon was caused by contact wIth alIen combat forces or alIen technology. Your
training prepared you your presence in the field of conflict, but something
happened to you. Your current situation may be the result of alien technology,
quantum backlash, or physical trauma.
﴿ somethIng you know Is vItal to the defense of earth. You were engaged in direct
contact with aliens or alien technology for a reason. That reason was the
pursuit of knowledge, understanding, or tactics that will be helpful to those
standing in defense of the planet. It is imperative that this knowledge be
shared with the Earth Defense Directorate.
We hope that this will aid you in recovering your identity. If you have difficul-
ties with this, you may also refer the How Do You Deal with Inconsistent Memories
Among the Group? sidebar in Chapter Three (p. 36). Please know that we are
monitoring your progress throughout the treatment; though, for reasons already
explained, we cannot intervene during it. Should you accidentally recall false
memories, we will collect you once the process is complete and attempt your
treatment again with a new therapy group. Our goal is to help you remember
how to be the functional member of the Earth Defense Directorate you once
were.
