[Action]

[Wrath's sleep hours aren't the most regular, though she has a definite routine that she keeps to. This is a break in that routine. Weird hour, still in her fluffy pink pajamas, she's sitting in the dining area with a cup of some godawful, bright pink concoction steaming in her hand. She also looks exhausted.

Not drinking it. Alternating between staring in the middle distance and sketching something on a small tablet.

Officer Snuggles is at her feet, and as much as a fox can look worried, he does.]

okay that's really good to know thanks um i don't know if it would be something else like how do you tell

Well, most of the time I imagine they're just regular dreams. If more than one person has it at a time, though, it's possibly something else.

[Or definitely something else. She's sorry for being a little obtuse. Truth geases suck.]

does that happen a lot like what could make more than one person dream the same thing is it a network artifact or something?

Druids used to have shared dream vision Telepath could be projecting A lot of people could be really worried about the same thing or eaten the same bad pizza someone somewhere else could be asking for help and this is the only way they know how maybe we're the only ships close enough maybe a lot of different ships are all having dreams It's a bit of endless possibility but my bet is on either the telepath or the distress call

wow that's a lot of possibilities i never knew there were so many reasons for weird dreams like this

so what do we do about it i mean it's duty to help but like it's a fucking dream i don't get where it is

They haven't given us much to go on, have they? Though I suppose if they make us dream once, they can make us dream again. Maybe we'll find out more as we go.

yeah that's true though also like

is there even anything to do at this point? already looked like everything was super fried

[Wince.]

Seems very rude to flaunt it at us if there's nothing we can do. Perhaps whoever it is has escaped the fire and needs a rescue.

well i mean if it's a nightmare it's a nightmare bad stuff from the past always comes back up but it'd definitely be better if there was something we could do to help them...

[That's true.]

I suppose I'm hoping it's something to prevent. It feels so sad otherwise.

yeah that would be really nice it's always better to be able to save people :) being positive is important and good for morale!
