Dreams... [Week 2]

[helborn]

[Casper sounds exhausted. This whole week has been A Lot.]

I had another dream.

It was black, the only noise a low, rattling static sound. Stars became visible in the darkness.

Then, suddenly, a burning red star, throwing solar flares off into the night, rushed towards me and over my shoulder. Past it was a... I don't even know what to call it. It was a weird irregular shape of metal with a serrated edge, matte and chrome. There were thrust nozzles and radio antennas and all kinds of emitters and barrels of weaponry.

I threw myself at it, screaming for blood at a pitch equalling the rapid-fire plasma cannon I was shooting. I got hit and coughed and pressure systems in me fluctuated. Another ship was beside me, a spiked globe of crystal whose spars were antennae, ion thrusters, and plasma resonators all at once. Somehow I knew the pilot took a century to make the ship. Beyond that was a weird arc of blunted ceramic with a bunch of guns and antennae protruding from one side. I knew there were other ships beyond. I could feel them with me.

And then I went in at the weird metal shape, cannons firing again... and then I woke up.

Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? The only other Jaunt with mechs I can think of is the one with the humans fighting the aliens with the weird viruses going around.

After Waking World mission, wk. 2

Yo. So, been out in the Wakin' World - I figure the other guys out here are gonna have their own things to share, but got some stuff that ... Well, it ain't pretty. I mean, it's kinda pretty if you can see it but - ah, hell, you know what I mean.

Uploaded the raw data to the network if anyone can handle it. But lemme try and show-

[Kanji starts streaming a view of a computer display - showing what looks like a map of Snowflake picked out in strange colours and fine threads. A hand taps the screen briefly, cycling through different displays of interlocking fractals, but one thing stands out clearly: the patterns converge on the space elevator.]

Was expectin' to get some kinda ...tracking data when I went looking. Got this instead. It's ... it's crazy complex, but there's only three real frequency ranges bein' transmitted in there.

Turns out they're the same frequencies as your regular dreamin' person's brainwaves. And the Skyhook elevator's the antenna that's blastin' it all. It's everywhere...
