The X-Project

Subject: Nicholas Gleason

I have some important, and perhaps difficult to absorb, news for you all.

While in New York, Mr. Sefton and Mr. Keller had an encounter with a young man at the airport. This young man appears to be Nicholas Gleason, however, he has no memory of his life up to and including the incident at graduation and some time after that. It appears that he has been through significant trauma, both mental and physical, which has caused this amnesia, and he has been living under another identity during this time. His lack of memory essentially made him a 'new' mind, thus preventing him being found by telepathic scan.

The medical staff and I are confident that this is indeed Nick and in order to help him regain his true identity, he has been invited to return to the mansion. He is extremely confused, as you can understand, so I would request that you all be mindful of that when you interact with him.

Also, a note to the telepaths in residence – Nick's mind is in a very delicate state and as a result, I will be refraining from using anything more than the most surface scans. I ask that you all do him the same courtesy, to avoid causing serious damage.

It is often mentioned that our lives are very strange sometimes. When that strangeness includes the return of one of our number apparently from the dead, it is not such a burden to bear. Welcome home, Mr. Gleason.
