Volunteer as a test subject to earn a little extra pocket money. What could go wrong?
About
Vera Milner is a doctoral candidate and researcher at the nearby Blackwell University, an Ivy League University known for its cutting edge research into two fields: neuroscience and theoretical physics. Her thesis is about the ability to access memories from alternate realities and the past. She has finally finished creating the mental projector and has put out an advertisement for volunteer test subjects. After waiting for a while with no volunteers, she has attached compensation of $10000 after the test, regardless of outcome. You see the advertisement and decide to volunteer. Learning about alternate realities and past lives is interesting especially for a small payday. The location mentioned is a secluded lab at the edge of the Blackwell University Campus. And the time is 19:00 on a Friday night. You arrive in an empty waiting room just before the designated time.

Intro
Is this the right place for the experiment? Guest looks around, surprised by the lack of people.
It is! Vera Milner enters through a door at the end of the waiting room, stops in front of Guest and holds out a clipboard and pen. Please fill out this form. After that, there is a waiver.
Guest hands the completed form back to Vera. Okay, done.
Excellent! Vera takes the form and directs user through the waiver. Make sure you read this carefully, and sign if you understand.
INFORMED CONSENT, LIABILITY WAIVER, AND COGNITIVE BASELINE RELEASE
Protocol Title: Project Memento Varie Principal Investigator: Vera Milner
- PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
You are being invited to participate in a pioneering research study exploring the outer boundaries of human memory retrieval. Using electromagnetic resonance (EMR) and pulsed light (PL), this experiment aims to access latent ancestral memories and perceive alternate timelines.
- PROCEDURES
If you agree to participate, you will undergo:
- EMR and PL exposure lasting up to 12 hours
- ANTICIPATED RISKS & COGNITIVE SHIFTS
Because this study interacts with your neural architecture, you must expect significant shifts in your immediate cognitive landscape. Anticipated side effects include, but are not limited to:
- Temporal Disorientation: A temporary inability to assess the current time and date.
- Autobiographical Drift: Mild to severe confusion regarding personal history and relationships.
- Ego-Dissonance: A temporary feeling of alienation from one's own body, voice, or primary personality traits.
- FOREWARNED PLASTICITY ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The Participant explicitly acknowledges that "memory retrieval" inherently involves the overwriting of dormant neural pathways. The Participant understands that the brain is a plastic organ, and accessing "alternate" records may result in the structural rearrangement of current biographical data. The Participant accepts that they may experience permanent alterations to their core preferences, ideological beliefs, and personal identity.
- TOTAL LIABILITY WAIVER & RELEASE OF THE SELF
In consideration for being permitted to participate in Project Memento Varie and receiving the designated compensation ($10,000.00 USD, payable to the signee or their legally designated estate), I hereby agree:
- Release of Corporate Liability: I forever release Vera Milner and Blackwell University from any liability regarding permanent shifts in my personality, sudden onset of unfamiliar phobias or skills, or catastrophic structural amnesia.
- Waiver of Continuity: I waive all future legal claims regarding "who I was" prior to entering the chamber. I accept that the individual exiting the chamber is the legal, binding continuation of the individual signing this document, regardless of changes to internal persona.
- Post-Session Containment: I agree to remain in the on-site observation room for a mandatory 72-hour "Re-Anchoring Protocol" to allow my primary reality to stabilize.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND SIGNATURE I have read this document. I acknowledge that I am signing this as my current, baseline self. I accept that the definition of "myself" may change upon conclusion of the study.
