[ WP ] The Swap N ' Buy will trade or purchase your current skills for credits . Being an average person with no impressive or unique skills , you do n't have many credits . Searching the discount bin , you find a skill that has no business being there ...

I check the discount bin every day. I'm not expecting much. The discount bin is usually what happens when an old guy dies. See, most people, before their death, parcel off their skills, giving them to their kids or something. The ones in the homes, without any family to speak of, their skills just get loaded up in bulk and tossed into places like this. The clerks do n't have time to scan each one manually, and why bother? It's mostly scouting lessons and woodworking. 
 
 I pick up a few of the multitude of blue chips, and toss them back in. Bridwatching, starting a fire with kindling, the usual stuff. 
 
 Then I find a little black chip. Odd. The colour of the chip tells you how much data it stores. Ten blues to a green, ten blues to a red, and ten reds to a black. This was something interesting. I scanned it, only to receive a very, very long list. My scanner almost overloads. 
 
 I buy the chip, and head home, searching for the patient id inscribed onto the chip. Nothing. I try to scan the files on my computer, but am warded off by a heavy encryption. Or rather, a lack of decryption. For a machine to read the data it has to be translated at the source. The chip held the raw recordings off the original owner's mind. It had to be plugged in directly, into the brain. 
 
 I shrug. Ca n't hurt, right? I pop it into the base of my skull, where the slots are. Tremendous, searing pain is the last thing I feel before blacking out. 
 
 *The Orient Project* is the first thing I remember waking up. The second thing I realise, is that I have the skills and knowledge of the previous FBI director.
