Something about that strikes a chord of familiarity in David, maybe the name, or maybe it's the title. He can't put his finger on it, though, so he abandons the train of thought to focus on something easier. "They said that they found me in the clinic a month and change ago," he explains. "That I just appeared out of nowhere, in something called a 'comatose' state. I was John Doe until someone told me that I wasn't."

And who knows? If this man had arrived first, maybe he would be responding to Fandral, after all.
