The Scattered Mind is the second episode of season 18 of Dimension 20, Mentopolis.
In the wake of the freeway collapse, the PIs seek answers.
Introduction[]
"Last we left off, our wonderful investigators had just watched a section of a synaptic highway crumble and fall, crushing the car underneath, just in time to save the life of Conrad Schnitz, our newsie at the centre of a lot of hubbub in a busy and dangerous town. That's right, folks, we're back in Mentopolis, the mind of the big guy, aka Elias Hodge, a junior scientist who we have not met, and will probably never meet, because we are him and he is us!
In our inaugural episode last week, we met Conrad Schintz, the conscience. We met Anastasia "A" Tension, the attention. We met Detective Hunch Curio, aka curiosity, Imelda Pulse, or impulse, Danny Fucks, the pleasure centre of the brain, [...] and, of course, The Fix, aka hyper-fixation. All of these people came together in the limbic system of the brain, down near the Red Light District, where they met up at Sugah's Speakeasy.
A bunch of events surrounded our arrival: a murder of one Mr. Norrell Ojiccle at the Cerebell Pacific Telecommunications Company, and a shattered Synaptic Switchboard that was found by A. Tension, working her beat. We saw a hiring of one Detective Hunch Curio by Imelda Pulse, to find the kid who had let her to a sort of mild kleptomaniacal impulse just to grab a packet of papers, but one that seems to have way more consequences than anticipated, all leading to the pleasure centre of the brain, as The Fix, a sort of muscle for hire used by some of the bigwigs here in Mentopolis to get rid of anything distracting from the goal at hand. Strange things are afoot in the city: a murder, as well as a sudden shattering of a highway. The cords are down, and some strange thing's afoot with a packet, stolen by a sudden impulse, and a key, a key that can allow some heroes here in Mentopolis to speak directly to the big guy himself.
We come back now in this moment of sudden chaos. Conrad, you hit the bricks, and, as you do so, what do any of you do in this moment, as you all sort of surged out of the speakeasy together?"
