"Ummmm, yeah," West nodded, "But he'll also never forget our faces. We could run a mugging con, car wreck, hostage scenario, lotta stuff..."

Ankh gives him the "You have three heads" look and shakes her head. "Ok, now you have completely confused me. Why is he not allowed to remember our faces? And can't you just," she waves her hands around impatiently, "make him forget or something?"

As Ankh started to walk down the stars, West began exploring the temporal flows and eddies surrounding Ryan.
"Wait," he said, reaching out to Ankh. Probing deeper, he saw what he was looking for.
A Knight, on solo Gambit.
