Florence is the problem?
2009-02-11

Guard shack ahead. I'm set. I've got a coffee pot, half a ream of paper, and three fully automatic hot glue guns.

We are sorry. All guards are busy at the moment with an emergency in building seven. Please wait and your request will be serviced by the first available guard.

It's too bad I can't wait. Those poor guards missed out on a beautiful, complex, and unnecessarily dangerous escape plan.

ZZZsk! What? Where am I?

Short term to long term memory is impaired. It will wear off. If it's not morning, go back to sleep.

Three A.M. As far as an empty stomach is concerned, It's morning.

Mr. Kornada? How did I wind up wearing Mr. Kornada's pants?

I know my memory's been messed with. Half of me wants to know how this happened, the other half wants to never find out.

Run questionnaire “Florence Ambrose Baseline”. Document any significant deviations from last test.

You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down…

I feel like myself. Still, when coming back from a company that can change your mind, it's always best to make sure.

One deviation noted. Increased protectiveness towards non humans. No other significant deviations.

Hmm. Doesn't look like anything to worry about. It's probably because I've been working with Sam and Helix these last few weeks.

However, that protectiveness does NOT extend to stinky emus trying to steal my breakfast.

SNAP!

I'm an apex predator. I'm not about to lose my food to a creature that walks around on drumsticks!

Here you go, Polly. Something for you to eat as well.

Now, you have to stop trying to steal my food. I know you don't mean to, but you're stirring up a lot of primal instincts.

Also, if you succeed, you'll be making yourself plump at the same time as you've made me hungry. Not the best of survival strategies.

Ha! I knew I heard the sound of free food!

Good morning, Captain. I… seem to be missing some memories. How did the trip to Ecosystems Unlimited go?

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!

Oh, this can't be good.

Did they…

Yes. It was an injection that kept your short term memory from being converted into long term memory.

How long…

About eighteen hours. Now that you've slept, your memory should be working again.

This isn't the first time we've had this conversation, is it?

Not even close.

Do you remember waking up?

Yes.

Great! At Ecosystems Unlimited, you found out something important. Do you remember what it was?

Always bring donuts.

Good answer. Correct, even. But as incredible as it sounds, I believe we're after something even bigger than free donuts.
