blind_badassMemory Summary: Snake has a talk with one of his professors about getting a good grade on his exam and he's free to start working on his dissertation.
Gained Through: Calhoun Party
Date: 8/11/14
The memory doesn't have any context for how he came to be there, but he immediately knows he's in the office of one of his professors. It also doesn't feel like it was that long ago in time. He can smell old books and feel the leather armrests.
"Mr. Averly, I've listened to your oral essay and graded it accordingly."
All of essays have to be oral, as how it was worked out he'd participate like every other student. This is understood.
"Well, how did I do?"
"Now, you don't need to look so nervous, Mr. Averly! I'm quite pleased with your essay. As it's 30 percent of your final grade, you'll have no trouble getting an A in my class."
He lets out a shaky breath he hasn't realized he'd been holding. An A! This is great! It meant the start of so many things now! He can't help but stutter in his excitement. "S-so does this mean you'll be my adviser for my dissertation?"
"I'd be happy to. What branch of physics did you plan on covering?"
"String theory, mostly. I was also interested in dark matter but I have it narrowed down to those two subjects."
"You certainly aim high, Mr. Averly. You need to get started soon, though. This is your last class before your dissertation is due. Six months will roll by faster than you think possible. But...take at least a week to switch gears. That's what I tell all my students after their final exam. And in fact...isn't it your birthday soon?"
"Tomorrow. I'll be 24." He sighs. This is the best present he could have gotten for himself.
"Well, go out there and celebrate! Have a drink with a few friends or at the very least, have a slice of cake. You've earned it."
He did earn it. He'd write best dissertation in the history of the physics department of this university. Light Averly, Phd sounded wonderful.
What was learned/Summary: He finds out his last name, what he'd been doing before he came to the game and how old he is. Also that he might have friends?
Effects: Feeling slightly more confident and more grounded knowing a bit about himself.
