Ah, this is what this comm is good for. I was forced to start my story, and I've done the first scene.
Here's an excerpt.
"Could you leave a brother or sister like that, Avon?" Avon winced very slightly. "Yes. It would be kinder." "To you, you mean?" "Of course. He--the mutoid--wouldn't care." "Yes, but what if you could reverse the process?" "Don't be ridiculous, Vila." "I'm not. Look, it seems to me that the Federation might want some sort of out. I mean, what if they wanted to get the person back, or get their memories back? Some mutoids are people being punished, but you know a lot aren't. You know, "Join the Mutoid Corps and Forget". Very romantic, that is." "Vila!" "Well, it is to some, Soolin. Like that Keera Landradi, you know, the actor. Career going downhill, a few lines starting to appear, her lover leaving her, so she makes the grand gesture. People like that, they'd like to know there was a chance of getting it all back." Avon looked thoughtful. "Hard as I find to admit it, you could have a point. I shall see what Orac can find out."
