You have no identification papers, no credit cards, no jewelry, nothing to give you a clue to your identity.
Your lack of memories is intensified by your self-doubt. But doubt about what? If only you could remember. There is one thing for sure. You know deep down that this whole situation is Number 2’s fault. You don’t like him. He’s hurt people you are sure. He’s hurt you. You also feel that at least one of the corpses was a friend. You like Number 8 a great deal. Could it be love? But you know that coming in the fate of the world rested in your actions. And you remember something about a Superhero Summit.
Number 2
You have no identification papers, no credit cards, no jewelry, nothing to give you a clue to your identity.
Despite your lack of memories, you feel very confident. You feel as though you are in charge. You are the leader on this job but you don’t remember the details. You feel that Number 3 is here to serve you and you can depend on him/it to watch your back. And then there is this nasty hatred of fire. You remember you hate fire perhaps because of something that happened before. You are leery of Number 1 and you hate Number 7 with a passion. But that is who you are. You do everything deliberately and with passion.
Number 3
You have no identification papers, no credit cards, no jewelry, nothing to give you a clue to your identity.
You are consumed with anxiety. Is that the correct feeling? You wonder if there are memories in your metal skull or are you just like your destroyed brothers strewn all over the cavern floor. There is nothing at all human in them. At the moment when these humans all lost everything, did you gain something? Are you now a sentient being where before, who knows? The source of your anxiety is rooted in something else. You feel like you are suffocating. You are claustrophobic. How? You feel that you must at all times help Number 2. You will always have his back. Is this loyalty or programming?
Number 4
You have no identification papers, no credit cards, no jewelry, nothing to give you a clue to your identity.
You look at number 5 and don’t like what you see. You look at Corpse Number 1 and like it even less. What is the connection? You feel you must keep an eye on number 5 at all times. But there is something else. You dislike number 8. There’s something about what she did to you. You know also that there is an important Summit happening soon.
Number 5
You have no identification papers, no credit cards, no jewelry, nothing to give you a clue to your identity.
You look at number 4 and don’t like what you see. You look at Corpse Number 1 and like it even less. What is the connection? Do you have some temporal fugue ability and these are copies of you? Does the death of Corpse Number 1 mean you are going to die soon? What if you are the “time clone”? You remember Number 4 gave all of you orders. You like number 8 and you really like Number 1.
Number 6
You have no identification papers, no credit cards, no jewelry, nothing to give you a clue to your identity.
You do have:
A Dart Gun
An odd pair of handcuffs that you must obviously throw at your target
An odd gun with a cylinder of gas attached. You don’t think it’s a weapon.
You are the man. You are obviously the smartest person here, and probably the smartest person anywhere. Your lack of personal memories has not diminished your mental capacity at all. In fact you find that not having the distraction of memories allows you to think much more clearly. You are already entertaining several theories on how to restore the memories using a psychotropic photon stimulator or aromatherapy. You know that no one appreciates your genius. Especially not the boss, whoever that is. You do feel strongly that you are responsible for Number 3. You have an intimate understanding of his functioning, based on what you observe in the wreckage of his “brothers”. And while you feel you have to follow Number 2’s orders, you don’t like it. He doesn’t respect you.
Number 7
You have no identification papers, no credit cards, no jewelry, nothing to give you a clue to your identity.
You care a great deal for Number 8. You are pretty sure she is your lady. You dislike Number 2 intensely. You fought before you are sure. You have an ace in the hole against him but you don’t remember what it is. You feel Number 3 is an abomination and should be disassembled.
Number 8
You have no identification papers, no credit cards, no jewelry, nothing to give you a clue to your identity.
You are sure that Number 2 is your guy. You have great feelings for him. At the same time you feel as though you have spent a great deal of time with Number 7. You are sure of one other thing there’s a big important meeting somewhere. It will be soon.
Security camera playback…
You are in combat. It is total chaos. You cannot determine what side anyone is on. Then Dr. Nihilist enters the chamber. 3 men and 2 women flank him.
“I am overwhelmed by the irony. I struggled so hard to infiltrate the Squadron
of Justice and after I succeeded, I learned that they had infiltrated my ranks
as well. I am surprised you made it this far. I am just hours away from
destroying all life on the North American continent. My rain of liquid light
will eradicate everything, showing the rest of the world they have no hope
against me, and wiping out most of the so-called superheroes at the same time. I
would love to chitchat further but alas I have more preparations to make.
However you can study the effects of liquid light first hand!”
The noise above the chamber draws everyone’s attention. Dr. Nihilist and his entourage leave as a single drop of intense light drops from the ceiling. When it hits the center of the chamber there is a massive explosion.
