Okay! So, everyone who's lost their memories, report in here for orientation! Just as soon as we figure out what information we can trust and what kinds of evidence we can piece together, we'll organize a plan of attack!

There's a UFO on one side of town, so maybe we've all been abducted by aliens, but it could also just be a red herring. Apparently there are a bunch of suspicious doctors telling people they're not real, too, so it could also be a government brainwashing plot or some sort of private sector terrorist spy scheme! The important thing is, right now, anyone who has their memories might have some kind of agenda and you'd never know! So don't trust anything! There could even be plants among the people with memory loss set to lead us the wrong way. Even personal possessions could have been replaced with misleading data!

Anyway, if we all stick together and keep our eyes open, we should be able to locate whatever secret base the people running this are using, and raid it for whatever they're hiding from us!

No time to waste!

That's a matter of perspective! The point is, we're not the same species!

yes but that doesnt mean i came in an ufo
maybe you came in a ufo

...I was going to say "of course I didn't," but I suppose I can't actually be sure what planet this is.

How's your breathing? Does the gravity feel right? Does the sunlight hurt your eyes, or does it seem too dim? Are there any funny smells?

breathing fine
gravity is fine
sunlight is too bright but the nighttime is perfect
are you asking me if you smell funny

I'm asking if the planet smells funny.

Nocturnal species...

how would i remember if it smelled weird or not

It could be instinct?

wouldnt that depend on how long ive been here
and whether or not ive acclimated to even recognize instinctively that it smelled wrong
youre not a very good xenobiologist
xenopsychologist?

I'm an amateur in the field.

then its a critical learning experience

That's why I'm asking questions.

ask better questions!

That's the kind of thing it's much easier to say than to do. If I had better questions prepared to ask, isn't it obvious that I would have lead with those? This is the kind of situation where everyone is off-balance.
