As you wait and recover, an idle thought strikes you. I was having a think earlier... but I was watchin' myself think at the same time. How's that work?
As an experiment, you think back to a morning run around the Camp. Which one, you're not sure- they tend to blend together after a while- but you don't particularly care at the moment.
You're too busy watching yourself think about it.

...or, at least, trying to. You do learn that your thoughts are more complex than your memories- each train of thought more like one of those 'Erector sets' than a simple fragment- but you can't quite follow which thoughts are which, or how they fit together.
Scowling to yourself, you shelve the idea for now. Better to come back to this. If I try it now, I might drive myself nuts.
Memories, though...You turn your attention to your outer shell, and focus your thoughts...

...before running your metaphorical 'fingers' across every memory in a decently-large region of the layer, skimming the content of each of them just long enough to place them.

It doesn't take much in the way of skull-sweat for you to realize something fairly important. There's no rhyme or reason to where these things are put. No order at all. I've got the instant I woke up here, my first flight, and my sixth birthday, all jumbled up right next to each other. What's with that?(You can now choose to Organize Memories, in an effort to improve your Memory stat! Be aware, though- doing so requires an extended effort. Quitting in the middle of an attempt will erase your progress, so think before you commit!
Creating Air will be my next post, and your next action.)
