Well, that's not exactly in the handbook.

"If you can provide proof of identity we can contact your next of kin?"

"I could have gone to my house, but it seems like there's an ongoing crisis. Oh, uh, also, I have new powers."

Oh, powers. This is definitely above this staff member's pay grade.

"I can contact someone more senior than me to talk you through registration. Or uh, re-registration. Do you want a temporary mask in the meantime?"

"Yes please."

Here is a very cheap domino mask!

And after a bit, here is a Miss Militia approaching.

"Hi, Miss Militia."

"Hi, I'm told you're claiming to be a cape who died in the Leviathan attack?"

"Yeah. Lorica. - I'm just assuming I died then, I don't specifically remember dying, I just woke up about an hour ago in this body."

"Do you have a way to verify this?"

"I could identify my previous face out of a picture array, I remember passwords to my software that should convince my bot if it hasn't been dismantled or anything, I will be able to refer to shared history with people? I think my memories of being Lorica are of normal quality for my subjective timeline, I don't actually know how long it's been."

"About a month has passed - could you verify your identity with your bot remotely?"

"If you can get me on a call with it, probably, yeah."

Miss Militia has an unshattered phone Lorica can use.

Lorica has a cryptic conversation with the bot and then hands the phone back over to Miss Militia.

"I believe it is likely that this is either Lorica or an extremely powerful Thinker emulating her," reports the bot.

"Okay."

"We'll get thinkers to finish verifying your identity but I'm for one convinced."

"Welcome back," she says, smiling.

"Uh, thanks, though I'd be happy about it if I hadn't killed whoever this used to be in the process. In other news have a new power now and I am not a tinker any more."

"I can have your previous identity be reported as deceased and have the next of kin notified."

"Do you have a sense for what your new powers are?"

"Yeah and I killed Jack Slash with them."

"Come again?"

"I was experimenting with it, and Jack Slash appeared, and I killed him. Bonesaw was there too, and Skitter, but the Siberian appeared and took Bonesaw away."

"You confirmed he's dead?"

"I guess it is not totally impossible that Bonesaw has an upload of his brain and can reconstruct him with that and a drop of blood. I did see Skitter's bugs eating the remains but some probably splashed her too."

"Splashed her?"

"I hit him really really hard with a car."

"Jack Slash died because you hit him really really hard with a car?"
