[It's been a couple of weeks since his little freakout over the network. To those who might have seen him in the immediate aftermath, he looks a lot better by now. Still a little tired and stressed, maybe, but who isn't these days, with everything going on?

He's settled at a desk today, with some handwritten notes and post-its scattered around, though they're not legible from this angle.]

So, uh, can I ask you guys a kinda weird favor?

I've been thinking a lot about what to do in case I up and forget everything again and I'm still in town. I don't think I can convince myself of any of this crazy stuff without actually remembering, or that I can't trust my coworkers, [well, except Nick. But he's not about to out him as a cop if the other doesn't actually say it himself.] so I've been leaving myself notes around the house to either call in sick or insist on desk duty if I can't remember a password of some sort.

Think it'd work better if it wasn't one I came up with, just in case.

[He's thought about the numbers, but he doesn't know if it's risky to just...leave a connection open somewhere. Some word or phrase that would be meaningless out of the context of the numbers club would work better, he thinks. And most of the people on the network don't know him well, so it wouldn't likely be something he could connect to his own life and ignore if it came up.]

Yeah, about three weeks ago. I still don't get what happened and it's not happened again since.

That sounds like a disturbing experience. I'm sorry you went through something like that.

So the password would be a test of whether you remember?

Shit happens. You just gotta deal with it and move on, right?

[After having a panic attack in front of your coworker who coincidentally happened to be part of the network too, anyway.]

And yeah, basically.

I have a suggestion then. What about the name of a person you only know through this network?

Hmm, that's a possibility. I'm not always the best at remembering names even aside from freaky supernatural forgetting, though, which might make that more complicated.

Then... What are the sorts of things you remember best?
