I started out to find an address of a certain person, which I had memorized. It seems to me, at this time, that it is overly easy for me to memorize things. Then again, with as empty as my head seems, this may not actually be odd.
I walked through town, and received quite a few odd stares. I realized, maybe fully, that my attire... was not quite the norm. And I remembered that Luman had told me that I, too, had a house up here. Just for appearances and convenience, he had said. And I surmized that there, I might find a good change of clothes which might be less conspicuous to roam around in.
So I headed to the address Luman provided me for my home, and found it easily.
I went in, and started upstairs. A strange voice resounded through the house. It sounded human, but somehow... without flavor to it. It was female, for sure. But for the most part, I ignored it. I was busy.
ANTIE, however, was scrambling. Rose was not responding to her at all, and ANTIE's own house sensors did a full analysis on Rose. She seemed normal, but simply was not responding to her requests and concerns. ANTIE had been frantic, and the cyborg was still out searching for Rose amidst the mountain-range of the Gaian forest, though ANTIE called off that hunt as soon as Rose arrived. IT just made no sense that Rose would ignore her this way.
I went poking in to each unfamiliar room. I still hoped to find something that might trigger a memory that would bring my past back to me. Amnesia was not a pleasant condition, I decided.
I found the staircase, and realized that in such a large house, no bedrooms would likely be on the main floor. I went up, and found a bathroom and what looked like a study. Then I found a room that had, of all things, blue walls and light blue blankets and butterflies painted on the walls. I was about to leave, to see where exactly my
room was, and stopped when I saw on the desk a picture of a girl. Me. And on the desk was a few doodles and even my name. Maybe I had written it? I tried writing Rose, and it looked the same.
"MY room?" I said, almost increduously. Then I remembered. Luman had said it was to keep up appearances. The room would not be dressed in black and red as my real room was.
However, I glanced into the closet, and found a few things that were... less obvious?... and put them on. I checked myself out on the mirror, and shrugged. Not my cup of tea, but it would do well as an appearance. I left immediatly, barely pausing to lock the door on my way out of the house, and on to my destination.
Apparently, this person whom I needed to deal with was a friend of mine for all outward appearances. It had not surprised me greatly to learn that I was valuable to my family for many reasons, and that I had made many alliances that were... opportune to my current tasks.
I stopped at the first house on my list, and entered quietly, and possibly even unseen. Perhaps not, but Luman said it was about time my cover was blown to these people, anyways. I set the device on the counter in the lab, and set it. I heard it charging as I left, and it went off just as I closed the front door again.
The E.M.P. device knocked out the entire neighborhood, and I did not see any lights flicker back to life inside the house. I crossed the name Chaz off of my mental list, and continued to my next destination.

1. If anyone was in Chaz's house, Rose would have most likely just mumbled something mostly unintelligible, except possibly "back in a moment"
2. If Chaz was in his house, she might even have waved, along with the mumble.
3. The timer was set for approximately 30 seconds.
