 [Sissel is a man of few words when not engaged in a conversation. He's more of a thinker, and boy, had his mind been on something recently. After finding out that he would NOT perish upon the next day, he's been scoping the place out now and again, just to see what there was. Cybertron certainly was a sight, and he could honestly say nothing could compare to it.  And why couldn't he compare it? Because...well, he didn't know anything else. Before he arrived in this place, he had a cumulative total of three hours of consciousness.  

Three hours of Earth as he knew it. 

It was sad when Cybertron was the more familiar of the two.

So he has a question for you, resting a hand near his mouth as he sets the phrase in his head.  How do you really ask something like this? At least without looking like you've grown a second head or anything.]

When you lose a memory...how do you regain it?

[Ray said it took time...but he's getting worried.]

And...does anyone know how to read?

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

I don't know about memories, but I can read. Why do you need to know if anyone knows how to read?

[youdiedagain]

[Oh boy, this is awwwwkwarrrddd.]

Well, to be honest...I can't.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Oh, do you want me to teach you? I had to learn English so I'm still pretty good about all the rules.

[youdiedagain]

...You'd do that?

[He didn't expect such...generosity in that.]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Sure, why not?

[She gives him a quizzical look.]

[kingofthetvworld]

[You and your problems.]

Feel free to tell me when you find out.

[youdiedagain]

It's...much appreciated, little lady...

[Video]

[youdiedagain]

...About which one.

[kingofthetvworld]

[He sputters]

DID YOU FORGET ALREADY? About the memories!

[Video]

[youdiedagain]

Well you could have been talking about reading.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

I know how to read, thank you, so why would I talk about it?

[Because clearly everyone should just know he knows how to read.]

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

You could try shooting yourself and see what happens.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Of course, I owe you for sitting and listening to me before. You just let me know when you want to start.

[video]

[youdiedagain]

I've been down that road. It doesn't really help.

In fact, it's what causes the amnesia. Who would have thought death could do that, huh?

[Video]

[youdiedagain]

[He's thinking the same thing.]

...

[youdiedagain]

I'll do that. Thank you.

I take it you're feeling better.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Yeah, I think I just... needed to get it out. Thanks.

[ Well, what do you know? Overlord is a thinker too. He has all the time to think right now. ]

"Anyone know how to read" can only get you so far when you don't define what exactly it is you want to read.

[ audio ]

[youdiedagain]

[Oh hello ominous voice. Time to be thinker buddies!]

I would prefer to read words.

[Sissel don't sass the giant robot voice.]

[ audio ]

[bloodsporter]

Don't you think you're such a smart aft.

Words are a good start. I'll just throw a bunch of words from a billion different languages on a datapad and see how you fair. Sounds good?

[ audio ]

[youdiedagain]

...

[Actually, that throws him for a loop.]

...How many are there? I only assumed there was one.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

There's a variety of treatments people use to cure or help with amnesia. But I'm only aware of Cybertronian methods. I'm not sure how your people would go about recollecting memories, if at all. Maybe Vandal can help you?

[youdiedagain]

Anytime, little lady.

Sometimes it's easier to tell a stranger.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Yeah, I guess, it makes sense in some ways.

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

... Is dying a normal thing for you?

[video]

[youdiedagain]

No, that's normal for a girl in my world. She's died about three times now.

As for me, I'm already dead.

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

You don't look very dead.

[video]

[youdiedagain]

Guess that makes two of us who are very surprised.
