I have no memories.

To be more accurate, I have no memories of my life before being a pod pilot. Even in my earliest memories I'm already in the pod, and then it's still pretty foggy.
I can only accurately remember back to a year or so ago.
I don't know exactly how long I've been a capsuleer but, I do know it's been much longer than a year. . .
I know I was working for the Gallentians for some time but, when did I start? Why was I working for them? Am I even Gallentian?
I was told that I'm Intaki but I have no way to verify this on my own.
I don't know who my parents are; I don't know if I have any living family.

I wonder how many other capsuleers are like this. And if there are more people who suffer from this, what is the cause?


I've had memory loss as well. Maybe an effect of being what we are?

More to the point, I don't care. Records show I was and am Caldari and I had family but now they are distant relations. My crew and corpmates are now the only relevant family I have and I'm okay with that.

Short answer: It's natural to want close relations and meaning but don't go searching for questions you won't like the answers to.

No, you were working for the Caldari, and were captured and brainwashed by the Gallente to fight for them. Join the State Protectorate today!

In other news, this sort of thing seems awfully common.



More then likely she is already a Caldari operative whose memories were wiped, after all the best spy is the spy that has no idea that they are a spy. Perhaps one day she will be in a pod, piloting a Hyperion and, over the comms hear " John has a long mustache" at which point she will begin to target her fellow Gallenteans and open fire. Perhaps she will be flying a Nyx and crash it into a station and escalate the war from boarder skirmishes into the real thing.

The important thing, is we know who you are, you need only wait for the time for it to be revealed to you my dear lady.

Vaden nods knowingly at the story.

I, too, suffered a memory loss back in YC 111. While working for the Angel Cartel, I awoke one night with no memory of where I was or who I was working for. My contact in the Cartel was excited about me entering Jovian space, yet I had no knowledge of who she even was. My ship logs indicated that I had somehow entered Jovian space, but although I have regained all other memories, my memories of where I was during my time in Jovian space have never returned. Psychological evaluations and cybernetics maintenance revealed no malfunctions.

As far-fetched as it may sound, the Jovians could somehow be responsible.

Oh! Yes. An implant could be devised, true. Given the frequent brain scanning and clone transferrence a Capsuleer goes through, though, foreign structures would be quite detectable in the form of map derivatives. Perhaps look for an unexpected vector in your modality epicycles?

Mhmm. It would take an artist of implant design to create something that could go unnoticed, although it is theoretically possible to make one that would have a very high probability of doing so if you simply modify an existing implant.

It's certainly outside of my level of expertise. I can think of maybe three or four people who might have the ability, but all of them are of Nation (compared to them I am a clumsy oaf fit only to be a butcher), so unlikely to be implanting Ms. Gallente in favour of the Caldari.

It would have to be a self-propagating implant modification, no question. To detect it one would have to find the vector space of the map and then examine the derivatives when compared to earlier derivatives. A rather monumental undertaking, really - considering the number of edges in the map and the degree of the derivative, it's a huge amount of work. Still, a worthwhile exercise to ensure cognitive integrity!

Quite tricky. A skillful enough operator wouldn't leave it with any significant 'hard edges' unless you were to look at it over time, and even then, it wouldn't be proof. People change all the time. Who is to say, while comparing maps of the same individual from two different time periods, whether the change was brought around naturally or not.

I remain, as always, amused by people who attempt to differentiate this process from the processes of socialization that we all undergo every day.

There are many rumours! Many people say, that the Khanid Kingdom as on Hexandria, the second planet in the Irmalin system, a facility for memory removal, change or replacement; and those operative can be very precisely, even to the point were just a single memory is remove without loosing another.
So, I could think, that you maybe fall in the hand of another kingdom holder for an indefinite time. Turing that time most likely your memories were remove and you had most likely a transcranial microcontroller. Which lets you experience a new world, even a new life. As for me, I use them on my slaves too ("my" isnt the right word. They are family slaves, but I can help them and they me. But just the head of the family owns all the family possessions. See me as a free riderSmile).

So I couldnt help you directlySad. As the damage that is done, IS DONE. But if you like, I could give one of those small chips (transcranial microcontroller) and connect you with it. And give the life and freedom you which. So it is up to you?

I would love to have those classes ingame. See here:

So... The poor, helpless, I-have-no-memories little thing opened the airlock of her ship and sent into the freezing void and their untimely death the seventy members of her crew.

Not to punish a mutiny.
Just to prove to her morbidly obese ego that they were puny mortals while, thanks to some shiny technology, she is (as we are all here) momentarily impervious to death.


I'm fairly new to the whole capsuleer freakshow and it still manages to make me sick.

Poor, poor amesiac batcrap crazy sociopath. Whoever, whatever wiped your memory did an half-***** job.

Today, Cynthia Gallente killed 70 of her own crew and broadcast the deed on the Channel known as the Summit. She went on to boast of her deed with many foul statements such as:

Cynthia Gallente > ok. the test was successful
Cynthia Gallente > turns out i do have a crew of some 70men and women
Cynthia Gallente > i executed them all. not a single one of them returned

and:

Cynthia Gallente > its very easy to open the airlocks from my pod

and:

Cynthia Gallente > to test their immortality
Cynthia Gallente > they failed.

and:

Cynthia Gallente > its only a few humans... they barely haveany more worth than an amarrian slave

and:

Cynthia Gallente > ? sorry? im sure the human scourge will again fill my ship when i redock. those dirty creatures are always looking for work.

Memory loss is no excuse or justification for such unmitigated acts of evil. I surely hope that there will be a general censure of this particular pilot for this craven act.

On the upside, now that your actions are part of the public domain you'll never again have to worry about a lack of memory concerning them. There'll be more than enough hypocrites here to quote and re-quote you time and again whenever there's some kind of point-scoring competition to be contested.
