"It is yeah. Do you have a doctor you recommend around here?"

"The San Myshuno General Hospital is ten minutes away by car," says Victoria. "Are you feeling ill?"

"Well, I might have amnesia. Could any of you give me a ride?"

"I have a car! I could take you there," says George.

"Thanks, George." She fridges the food and follows him to his car.

The other two wave them goodbye and go back to their own places.

George lives two houses down from Elspeth's new place. He opens the door to his car for her when they get there, and once they're both inside he starts driving towards the city proper.

She tries to think if there's anything she can remember or feels like she ought to be able to, so she'll be able to present the ER with a coherent story insofar as that is possible.

She has memories, or something that could almost be called that. She was raised by people, and had a childhood. That childhood had events of various different natures. She went to school somewhere, and may or may not have gone to university after high school. She may or may not have had jobs before. She may or may not have had friends. She probably lived somewhere.

And eventually she decided to move from that somewhere to San Myshuno to pursue her career as a journalist.

Does she know how old she is? Does she know her blood type? Does she know her previous address? Does she know her own phone number?

She is a young adult! She probably has a blood type and probably lived somewhere before living here. She does know her phone number.

Does she remember memorizing her phone number.

Not as a discrete event that definitely happened at any specific time, no.

Can she remember ANY discrete events that definitely happened at any specific times before she decided not to try to call her parents.

She cannot!

She really hopes the doctor knows what to do about this.

She thanks George, when she gets to the hospital, and presents herself at the emergency room.

The emergency room is crowded. There is a little computer thingy by the door where she can get a number and then she can find a place to sit and wait for her number to be called.

Okay. She'll take a number and go sit down over there.

Does her phone have a browser?

It does!

What's the homepage?

It's the most famous search engine out there, Siimgle.

She siimgles "amnesia".

The top result is a Simpedia page on the subject, and most subsequent results are various medical websites.

Simpedia will do, what does Simpedia have to say?

It's a pretty standard and dry page describing what amnesia is (deficit in memory caused by brain damage, disease, or various drugs) followed by more dry and descriptive sentences about things that can cause it, types, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.

And yet, the whole page feels kind of... off, somehow. Each individual sentence makes sense and is related to both the subsection it is in and the theme of the page as a whole, but the page looks more like someone just made a list of those sentences and then pasted them together into a page than like it was actually written to have a coherent logical explanation about anything at any point.

Well, it's Simpedia. Anyone can edit it. ...how are the specific pages on individual kinds of amnesia?
