(Hello! Watch the godmoding, please! It's fine to put another character in a scene with you -- though they may not respond -- but please don't speak for them unless they're a NPC e.g. a teacher or librarian or something. :) Sorry, should've warned you. Love how you're getting around Hoji's return, and it's fine this time as I would've done something similar for Jasmine!)
"Sorry, do I know you?"
I stare at him, waiting for a grin or something to show me this is an uncharacteristic, strange attempt at humour... but there's no grin. No indication he knows me at all.
I touch his arm automatically, fighting down panic, but it's like touching a stranger. "Hoji? I'm Jasmine. You really don't remember me?"
"Hoji? I'm Jasmine. You really don't remember me?"
I shake my head. Maybe I know her, but I don't think I do. After all, I was in a coma for a month after the accident. Then I left Earth.
"You're a new Deka, I suppose? I'm sorry, I haven't been back to Earth for very long. I was sent to the Mars branch after my...mishap with an Alienizer."
I inhale slowly, fighting to control my reaction. The last thing I want to do is upset him. "No, I'm not new," I say softly. "You and I joined about the same time."
And you're one of my best friends, one of the most important people in my life, I don't say.
"What happened with the Alienizer?" Why didn't Boss tell us? Must be some kind of amnesia. He must've been terribly injured, and I didn't even *know*.
Well, maybe she was in a different branch. Little wonder I don't know her. But then how does she know me?
"A few months ago, I was chasing an Alienizer through interplanetary space when someone fired at me. The space vehicle crashed on Specter-sei and I was severely injured. After I woke up from a month-long coma and HQ deemed me fit for duty, I was dispatched to Mars."
