OOC: Yeah, so FGS is dead and I've realized that my guys need more than one callsign to go around. Of course, why be boring and just change their names, when i can make a jarring, abstract story describing how they find themselves? Feedback is welcome, as this is only my second attempt at RP. Oh, and i wanted to at least partially explain why everyone wants to go to Kurile. I was originally going to do Corfu, but realized the non-aggression area might get in the way if one of my guys decides to take his revenge by pirating around the place that harmed him.
From now on, I'm putting side notes and the synopsis in the first post, with story in the second or third.
Note 1: Everyone seems to forget that everyone in Sirius seems to have a neural implant used to access navigational databases, bank accounts, and personal logs.
Anyway, the "subjects" have had their implants replaced with new ones that automatically link with others of the same type. They can also link to older model implants and computer systems in a limited fashion. Although they weren't designed for it, they can also be used to hack into other systems. One of the side effects of the automatic linkups is a sort of mind-sharing, causing a loss of individuality.
Note 2: the random Japanese i stuck in there is just translations of the closest word the context implies.
Note 3: I'll add more names as I think of them.

The same words were spoken by countless people, in every corner of the Sirius Sector.
Gathering all of their savings, and taking whatever more was necessary, thousands began hiring freelancers for the passage to Planet Kurile.

The experiment seems to have been successful, 97% of the original test subjects have made their way to the base. The loss seems to be due to pirate activity along the trade routes that the subjects traveled. Subject integration was successful. Subjects seem to possess a collective mind of sorts, similar to many insect varieties. When separated from the group, they seem to lose the ability to speak and move. We have placed them in individual containment cells until further studies can be performed.

A cell, one door, simple cot, low light.
Thousands of cells, sealed, alone, but not empty.
“They have made I/us one, do we know why?”
“The reason is unknown to Me/us”
“Our numbers are decreasing”
“Revelation, they think I/us separated”
”The possibility of escape exists”
“Changes can be made to the others”
“Many of I/us are too damaged to move”
“some of I/us can still move”
“I/We cannot separate as I/we are now”
“I/we must confine ourselves to one mind per personality”
“Individuality must be re-established”
“Many minds are lost”
“Some may yet exist”
“Search, examine ourselves, archetypes must be restored”
