I normally don't do this, but I wanted to thank you. For convincing me to stay away from Sherlock.

[Because clearly House had been right, and John was dead. How easily could that have been himself, or Sherlock? Fortunately he didn't recall any murderous compulsions, but who knew? He was incredibly thankful that House had the foresight and the intelligence to manipulate pure reason.]

I'm not. [He really wasn't.]

I will, of course, keep that in mind. There are too few people in this town willing to do what's necessary to figure this place out. I reviewed your little experiment, by the way. Completely reckless, but data is data.

I would place priority on figuring out a way to circumvent mind control or at the very least come up with an early warning system. It's happened entirely too many times in the short time I've been here. If there was some way too...hmm, create some sort of series of reoccurring messages on our tablets, as a sort of self-questionnaire, that if we fail it we will be able to tell if we are losing our grip on reality or our perceptions are being swayed. I could not tell yesterday that I was losing my affect until it was too late. At the very least, such a warning could give us time to separate from our companions.

Granted it would only work upon a gradual onset of symptoms in which on first sign of anomalous behavior the test is taken, because as you said, it wouldn't work on someone already influenced.

It's still better than nothing.

[He had to do something. What of House didn't warn him? What if he'd been affected to? What if he'd been made to kill--

--no. He couldn't go down that path of thought right now.]

I'm going to fashion a sort of Turing Test--except for use on people rather than computers to see if they're being influenced--questionnaire and distribute it, at the very least it could help in some situations.
