Chapter Scroll
First, let’s recap:
- Scenario 1: Unclear date, but after 2 and before 3. The scientist team heads to a beach to take the memories of models drugged with Euphoria as they drink O-range. One model has a nonfatal allergic reaction
- Scenario 2: 4/26/76 (meeting minutes). The lab stages a live broadcast demonstration for the OPIG board to show how the I.D.O.L work. Memories of Tim Spender cheating on his wife are transmitted through the camera to the board, proving an unknown attribute of the device. Board president Nathan Hoyle is most impressed with the way that this can send a message to every home in the country
- Scenario 3: 6/4/77 (Nowak’s notes). Oriel and Jack head to the Lemurian museum to see what memories are on that seal purchased by curator Aureila back in the auction. A first transfer gives Oriel some memories, but he wants more. Jack misunderstands how the lenses affect one another and transfers all of the discs memories into Oriel, wiping out his personality and replacing it with Lemurian sentinel Echo Secunda, who escapes.
- Scenario 4: 11/17 (yacht party invitation). Hunter Wolf has established a group of loyal homeless people in the Steelside warehouse, where he uses the I.D.O.L to move their memories into new bodies. By exploiting the live broadcast transfers, he has been replacing the conciseness of wealthy people with his loyal cronies, with the hopes of rearranging society. When all of a person’s memories are taken out, they die with red eyes, starting the rumor of the Red Eye Curse seen in Chapter 1
New Evidence:
- Marie messaging her coworker about how annoyed she is over a confusing poster Eugene made. Everything is right, just worded strangely
- Hoyle asked the team for suggestions as for how to use the new function of the I.D.O.L. One is hippy, one is corporatist, and one is educational. He denies all of them
- A tale of how a beaver defeated a hunter wolf. The story is a little morbid: it’s about a wolf who matter of factly explains to his prey animals that he will get them if they gorge, which the prey animals blame on him and not themselves. The wolf is run out and the animals continue to eat endlessly
- A homeless game show created by Gabriel Girardi has a death. Textile ceo Darren Dixon suddenly voted against himself. A red note points to two of the homeless people from the last chapter and complains that they failed
- A note from Marie to Jack. She’s worried that this technology is abusable, that she doesn’t trust higher ups, and that an empty Lemurian disc has gone missing.
Hints:
- Our goal today is to simply explain how the I.D.O.L. works. We know most of this already
- In Beach Trip, the crystal is red. In Boardroom Brawl, it’s Blue. What were they doing before that?
- The colored brains simply represent different minds and memories.
- You might notice that you get five red/blue crystal lights but only 4 I.D.O.L.’s to place them on. One of them has to go to a person.
- Let’s reword Eugene’s poster: If it’s blue, it’s empty. If it’s red, it’s full. If it’s full, it can only affect conscious people or empty discs. The matter button must be engaged to affect a subject.
- How would you symbolize the Red Eyes Curse?
