    No, not at all. Fingerprints are complete individual.

    It's also possible that we are a chimera - a clone of several people combined into one. We could detect this pretty easily, in a relative sense.

    Hmmm...on second thought IT IS a good possibility we may be a clone of several people. The Rosetta Stone was sought in Alchemy as a means for immortality and perfection.

    Think about it, and it starts to make a little sense. If we are, then we'd be at peak human capability - I think we should test ourselves a bit, see how strong, enduring, or fast we are.

    Are you suggesting we fight the cop?

    Find a gym maybe?

    We'll lets head for the Psychology test first. Then once we make it out of there alive, we can test our theories.

    I think we might be constructing an elaborate theory out of not very much, although it does look like a hint from GH.

    We don't need to be a clone to have "not existed". We could be some kind of Jason Bourne style military experiment (which obviously wouldn't be listed on any database, and might explain the hole in the defence money).

    I'm really intrigued about the house we started in. We started in the basement of some random guy's house, who seemed surprised to find us there. The lights were off, so it seems likely that someone put us there. It's just a very weird situation.

    On the basics of 'if' I think gym would be a bad idea, dispite having problems finding one, it is likely you'll need membership or will at least have to dish the cash in some way or another. We're only getting $50 for the experiment, were not wasting it just to see if we can break walls. Its much easier just to go up to something inanimate and punch it.

    Thinking more about the room we started in. This room is the only concrete thing we have about the time before we woke up. All this stuff about clones and psychology experiments could be just hot air generated by GH to see how we react. I think we should head back to where we started, preferably with a friendly police officer in tow, to try and explain the situation to the owner of the house and hopefully get permission to question him about his basement.

    EDIT: This plan might be difficult unless we can get the police on board. The guy had a shotgun and wasn't very friendly.

    This is from a little far back, but I still think it's relevant.

    The stone you're thinking of, YLC, is the Philosopher's Stone, not the Rosetta Stone.

    The Rosetta Stone is a massive, ancient stone tablet that was found in Rosetta, Egypt, by British invaders. The stone had the same message written in Egyptian hieroglyphs, ancient Egyptian common language, and ancient Greek- it was erected by one of the Ptolemies. Basically, the presence of three languages that said the same thing allowed linguists to decode the grammatical structure and vocabulary used for each one. It's currently in the British Museum in London, I saw it just 2 years ago.

    Still, the Tool song itself is probably our real clue, not just the title. I think it's plausible that our character could be a clone. Also, whose brilliant idea was it to make him start smoking?

    I was wondering why you thought the Rosetta Stone did that... and I haven't had "high school" history yet.

    You throw your cigarettes in the garbage before they can do any further damage to you. It's probably a good thing you did so so early, as the period of withdrawal will be almost nonexistent.

    As you make your way back from the trash can, you notice three other people also seated for the first time. No doubt they are here for the experiment as well. One of them is a college student; stringy, with somewhat long hair. He's listening to some music on his mp3 player right now. Another is an attractive, but over-made-up female in her mid-20s. She is constantly checking her watch. The last person there is a gentleman in his mid-60s. He is wearing glasses and is very well-dressed.

    You will only have time to talk to one of these people before you are called in. Alternatively, you could say something to all three of them which will serve to break the ice, but you will not get to know anything more about any of them in this case.

    Is it possible to ask a passing question to one, and then focus on another?

    The college guy is probably here to get booze/drug money, that chick's probably a bimbo, so I say we talk to the old dude.
