NEURAL NAUGHT

“LSD is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be.”

Albert Hofmann

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the Weather.”

Bill Hicks

The human mind is a complex system that is still not fully understood by scientists. However, one thing that is known is that memories are stored in the mind in a certain way. Extracting memories from the human mind is a process that can be done through different methods. One common method is to ask the person to recall the memories. This can be done by asking specific questions about the memories or by having the person tell a story about the memories. Another method is to use brain imaging technology to look at the brain and see which areas are activated when the person is recalling the memories. This can help to identify which parts of the brain are involved in the memory process.

The brain of a dead man is still active for a few minutes after death. Electrical signals are firing in all directions, but they are no longer organized. The brain is still in the process of dying. The cells in the brain are dying. They are no longer getting the oxygen and nutrients they need. The brain is shrinking. The cells are dying and the brain is shrinking. The brain is no longer functioning. The cells are dying and the brain is shrinking. The brain is no longer functioning because there is no longer any electrical activity.

But we can add electricity. 

We can create activity. 

We can insert nutrients. 

Patient NINE sits in the chair, electrodes attached to his head. They face him towards a blank screen in front of him, waiting for the memories to come. They have been coming here for weeks, but so far nothing has happened. The lifeless patient stares blankly as if to focus. NINE exports a fragment of his childhood but something different and more recent comes into clarity. Then as it gains clarity, further back the mind races to reveal more fragments. 

LSD is a hallucinogenic drug that alters a person's perception of reality. It causes the user to experience hallucinations, changes in mood, and changes in thinking. LSD also affects the user's sense of time and space. And it is this drug that we can use to extract these memories. To reactivate the mind and export the signals needed to understand what happened. 

Time and space.

Time. Space.

Spacetime.

The United States government has a process for space exploration that includes many steps. The first step is to identify a need or goal for space exploration. The government then creates a plan to achieve that goal. Congress must approve the plan, and then the government creates a budget to fund the plan. The government then selects a space agency to carry out the plan. The space agency develops a mission and selects astronauts to carry out the mission. The mission is then carried out, and the government evaluates the results.

To this day not all space agencies have been made public.

Not all missions have been declassified.

The identities of many astronauts involved in these missions have not been confirmed.

A body floats through the inky blackness of space. It is cold and dark, and the only sound is the gentle hiss of air escaping the body's lungs. The body is weightless, and it drifts through the vacuum of space like a leaf on the wind. It is a lonely and isolating experience, and the body feels as though it is floating in nothingness. The body is lost in the vastness of space, and it seems insignificant in the face of the universe.

The body is recovered.

The mission has failed.

The memories are all that remain.

Dear Colleague, 

I regret to inform you that I am terminating the space program. This decision was not made lightly, but after much deliberation, I believe it is the right course of action. The space program has been a drain on our resources for far too long, and it is time to move on. Thank you for your time and your service to our country. 

Sincerely, 

XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX

These files have been destroyed.

It is easier to shut the case than to take responsibility.

Documents shred faster than the lives left behind.

But in this case, there is something that calls to be discovered. Why these memories? It doesn’t add up. Or does it?

The initial investigation of this case was deemed flawed due to corrupted memory data extraction. It has all the signs of an anomaly. But under the surface, there is more. We are not seeing what we are looking for. It is like the mind is showing us what it wants us to see. But why?
