I say wait to see what he says when he comes back.

If they try to arrest us, flip the fuck out. I agree, the only way to completely isolate any trouble from the library is to kill everyone here. Hopefully it's something silly. Stay cool.

If we get accosted for serious Kelley/necro suspicion, we need to act the most offended these people have ever, ever seen.

Before sqeulching any reports of Library connection. Violently.

I'm pretty sure they won't try to arrest us. If they had the possibility of arrest or that we were someone dangerous in their mind they'd have us follow them instead of telling us to wait there, away from the Outpost. Or they would have told another soldier to keep an eye on us. But right now we could just walk away. They're probably just going to ask us some questions.

[Naturegirl1999]

I’m thinking if we walk away and they don’t think us suspicious, walking away will make them think we’re suspicous

You decide to wait. About thirty second later the soldier reappears, his superior following along behind. You only ever saw her legs, but you recognize her now. Commander Ellis, the woman who raided Bruce's apartment and threatened his daughter. She looks different than you imagined; your mental image was one of an older woman with severe cheek bones and a smug expression of superiority. This woman is young, maybe mid or late 20s, with a round face, large eyes, and a haircut that frames her features oddly.  She takes the papers from her subordinate and walks over to you. She looks at the papers and then looks at you.

"Orpheus Goldstine?" She asks, an eyebrow raised.

You jokingly ask if its a crime to have whimsical parents. She doesn't react to the retort. Instead she takes a step forward and, with a leather gloved hand, grabs you buy the cheek, pinching the flesh between two fingers. She tugs it back and forth a bit, as though checking if it would fall off. You're silently grateful that she's wearing gloves and can't feel how cold your skin is. And that she hasn't noticed that the fake breathing you're doing doesn't fog up the cold air like hers does. She lets your face go after another moment and checks your papers again.

"Who are your parents exactly?" She asks, "Where are they from. What was your father's profession?"

"Orpheus Goldstine?" She asks, an eyebrow raised.

I'd... forgotten we named ourself that. 

Anyway. Do we try and make something up, or do we flip out and kill things?

[Egan_BW]

Come up with something based on the memories we've consumed. We have so much knowledge and a seemingly superhuman ability to recall it, so it shouldn't be hard to come up with something plausible. Say we're from the country, where record keeping is looser.

Much better than flipping out and killing things.

“My parents are Mary Goldstine and Orpheus Goldstine. I was named after my father. Mary’s maiden name was Gold. Mom and dad were farmers, mom dealt more with the plants, and dad was the one who butchered animals. As for why I left, I didn’t. Not willingly. There were 3 people who broke into our house when I was around 15. They took me and killed my parents when they tried to rescue me. The people who took me told me to never tell anyone what happened. Eventually I was able to escape when the 3 of the, were asleep, but I was never sure whether they were part of a larger group or not, and so stayed hidden”
Orpheus’s memories will serve better here

[Superdorf]

Let's let our character come up with the particulars-- he oughta know more about this world now than we do, and world knowledge is critical for this sort of thing.

Less fun, but I see your point

Also: "Goldstine"? Heh.

[Superdorf]

Now hold up

You give the name of "Eligius Goldstine".

I thought our name was "Eligius"? Think I'm missing something here.

[Eschar]

I've re-read the pages near that quote,

You give the name of "Eligius Goldstine".

And
1. Apparently we (the players, not the character) talked about the name Orpheus a bit after Commander Ellis left Bruce.
2. Bruce mentioned someone named Nina Antonov, who we could help him find as a favor. Just an interesting thing we haven't thought about since.
3. If we can ever do so without being killed, found out, or drawing attention to the Library, we are so murdering Commander Ellis.
