[Video message coming in. Someone's gotten over being a hermit. And looking about a year older, physically. Perhaps also a bit less uptight. Unfortunately, no love-gash on his lip this time around. He's placed the device on a desk and is sitting down to address it, mouth leaning on clasped hands, before he speaks.]

Tranquility. Ah -- I believe I have some interesting developments. It's a little bit difficult to explain, so if you'll bear with me. I apologize to those with whom I have already spoken regarding this subject.

[Deep breath.] This past jump, I seem to have woken up nearly sixty years older. I now possess memories from the end of 1955 up until early 2012. I recall being accused of having amnesia earlier on, when most of my colleagues had claimed to be from the years 2011 or 2012. I had considered the possibility that this was true, and that when I woke up, my amnesia had been cured.

This is however not the case. I am physically older, and a few scars on my skin from the last war have faded. Time has passed, despite my feeling as if I only slept for a brief while during the jump.

[His brow furrows.] ...What I find more puzzling is that I recall arriving here late October, 1955. The time that passed on this ship, from my perspective, would have lasted until approximately February, 1956. The fact is that I have very clear memories of this time period back on Earth. Not only that, to those of my colleagues who were here these past few months: you were also back on Earth. I am certain of it. [His voice tenses a bit at that last sentence. He wants to be certain. He is almost certain. There's a special someone, however, whose absence is making him think he may be rationalizing. More than anything, he wants Hungary to be safe. At home. The knowledge of this desire is devaluing any logic he may have used to come to the following conclusion.]

...To make a long story short, I believe it is possible that all of us are existing in two places at once. How this is possible is beyond my comprehension, but my new memories of time on Earth have made absolutely no mention of any disappearances. I am fairly sure that each and every one of us has split from our original consciousness.

[A bit of a hopeless laugh.] Now I'm not quite sure what significance this conclusion holds, but I was hoping that perhaps someone might have a better idea.

[HAL's voice is soft-spoken and formal, but there's a strange lilt to his consonants, and it sounds as though he might be a little out of breath. There's also the universally tell-tale sound of just-woken-up grogginess in there.]

A man in an orange suit floating away. [He mutters it under his breath, almost, then pauses and speaks more clearly.] Did you know that dreams are unexplained phenomena? While there are plenty of theories as to what they represent, or what causes them, no one has actually... Figured them out. At least, as far as I've ever been aware of. Perhaps this universe has a better understanding of dreams than mine ever did.

That being said, I wish there was a way to study them, or... at least prevent them from causing me undue frustration. As an Artificial Intelligence, it's... [what's the word?] uncomfortable to have my mind produce things without my permission. It feels like a glitch, and I'm not afraid to say that I do not like it.

[He sounds like he's getting more coherent - and more than that, maybe a little embarrassed for (what he would consider) flying off the handle there.] I apologize, this doesn't seem to be a very good use of network communications. But I felt as though I needed to say these things aloud, and there's no purpose in talking to yourself.
