[Friend Filter. If you think you're on it, you're on it.]

Everyone doing okay? I don't know if this is a flood or a gasleak or just something driving people a little crazy, but I figured I should check in anyway.

Anyone notice any turbulence? Got any theories? Figure we should get right down to it before people start really panicking.

[Private to Tim]

Still worrying about Bruce? [Which is basically his way of asking if you're doing okay specifically.]

[Private to Costigan]

Checking in, buddy. Everything still in one piece, or are you missing some stuff?

[Private to Mal]

So, got any theories on why Arthur's quoting poetry and acting kind of... spacey and super paranoid? [You'd know, right awesome nice lady who knows Arthur?]

I'm good, guy. How about you? Anything you need?

That's really good to hear. Seriously. Whatever it is is affecting more people then I thought.

And yeah actually, uh, did I break my hand a couple weeks ago? And maybe get in a fight with Bruce about being Batman?

[The invasionverse fight between them was solely about telling Crane his identity and ended with Dick just being normally angry, not total spiral out of control ranting to everyone miserable, so no hand breaking, and people would have noticed he was annoyed, but not like, unusually upset and he didn't spill the details about it. Dick found back up transcripts of the original conversations.]

The Barge is like that. I doubt there's some kind of conspiracy going on, if that's what you're suggesting. [ohtheirony]

And no, you didn't break your hand unless you didn't tell me about it. Why?

That definitely puts you in the minority.

I found some... transcripts or something of conversations I don't remember having. And a note from Bruce I don't remember getting. It's not exactly memory gaps like everyone else is having, but I can't figure out why I'd have them, or who would have put them there.

People like having someone to blame.

I don't know, guy. How do you know they're transcripts and how and when did you find them?

I... They're backup files of stuff I've said on the network. Some of them I remember, but some of them either didn't happen or they're just different from what I think happened. And unless you, Tim or Bruce told someone where I keep my gear, I have no idea how someone would have gotten access to where they were stored. Howie found a diary he apparently wrote in with information he doesn't remember too.

You're sure you're not missing anything? I mean, obviously you know who we are and why we're here, but some of the stuff people are missing is a little more subtle.

There's only one thing.. There's a police uniform here with my name on it. I know why I would have it, but it's not likely.

[The longest pause.] ... Why wouldn't it be likely?

Because the only reasonable explanation would be that I was posing as one and I don't think I'd do that.

If I tell you something, will you promise not to freak out?

Sure, yeah. I trust you.

You're... Dammit. [He really didn't want you to be affected and that is a big thing to lose. :c]

You're being affected by whatever's going on. That uniform's yours. You were an undercover cop with the Massachusetts State Police before you wound up here.

Get the fuck out of heah. [With a little laughter. BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A JOKE, LAWL.]

[Dick is not laughing, he's officially starting to... not panic but freak out a little. :|]

What do you remember?

[Stops laughing, then is silent for a long moment.] I worked foah Costello. He was this crime lord in Bahstan. This prick Sullivan, some statie bastard, sold me out after I cut a deal with him when Costello died. You know this shit.

[Gently:] That's not what happened, Costigan. I have your file, I can show it to you. I think you have a copy of it too, or someone showed it to you before I got here. Do you keep any notes or files on what goes on here?

I have some outdated files about some people, but nothing-- [Loooooooooong pause as he reads his note to himself.]

I don't understand. What the fuck is going on?

I don't know. But Arthur's totally lost his mind, people are forgetting stuff and records aren't matching up with what people are remembering. Buffy thought it could be Barron, but I'm not convinced, Martha suggested Nanomites someone stole from Rex, but I doubt it's that either.

... Howie thinks we're all just going crazy because this place is stressful, but I'm sorry, I've been through a lot in my life, and I've never just invented new memories to help me cope with something.

It can't just be a flood?

It could be. How often has the Admiral not made announcements about floods? I know he didn't back in February [lol not mentioning the love flood specifically as per our agreement. >>] but every other one I've been around for, he's said something about.

It's rare, but it happens.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm alright. Just tryin' to figuhe it all out.

Me too. I'll let you know if I find out anything more. Stay safe, okay?

Thanks. You too.
