[video] Someone's on edge
Who: Looma Red Wind and anyone who can still put up with her
Broadcast: Network
Action: Anyone actually awake on the Bishop
When: Early, early in the space-morningwhenever that is
[While most people would be content to, you know, sleep once in a while, it seems like Looma's spending this Drift dealing with a remarkable lack of it. She looks the part too- one does not switch over to getting by on nothing but micro naps over the course of several days without exhausting themselves. Tetramands are apparently no different.
She's sitting in her chair aboard the Bishop, fighting back sleep as best she can while poring over any readout of the ship she can get her hands on. Less than half of it makes any sense to her, but it doesn't have to- she knows what everything should look like, she's just on alert for any suspicious changes.]
I have only been a part of this wretched show for less than one human year, so there is much about our shared enemy that I do not understand. I know that this last occasion was not the first time they have thrown us into one another's memories, but what has been happening recently feels... different.
[Yep, she's another one who wound up getting a strange dream. She's not a fan of it. For one thing, they're not supposed to happen while you're awake. To say it's put her on high alert would be an understatement- her only response was to assume an impending move by the Atroma or, even worse, a complete unknown.]
I have noticed several others have been having strange dreams. I was not asleep for mine.
I must know if the Atroma are responsible, or if there is some new presence toying with us. Have they been behind anything like this in the past? If they have not, I have two concerns.
One: They are plotting something, and changing how they plan to toy with us.
Two: We will soon be dealing with some new threat.
[She's...kind of forgotten where she was going with this, by this point. And for a moment it looks like she's going to nod off in the chair again, before her eyes snap wide again and she regains some measure of focus.]
...any insight would be appreciated. Especially from those of us who have been here long enough to know what to expect. I have been unable to find any satisfactory explanation on my own.

I will not risk leaving my crew vulnerable to whatever is behind this. I can afford to sleep once we are no longer operating in the dark as to what is causing this!
no subject
I get it. I really do. And it's admirable that you want to do everything you can to keep them safe...but I don't see how this will help them. They need you rested and ready to fight.

[One of the advantages of being an angry ball of rage and hate when it comes time to throw down, probably. Willpower takes her a bit further than most, especially when it comes to wanting to throttle the life out of someone.]
Once I am certain it is safe to do so, I will aim for a more restful slumber. But until then, I am not taking my eyes off my ship.

He lets out a breath of capitulation.]
You know, you remind me a little of someone I knew.

[aka: Tread. Carefully.]

He smiles.]
Actually, yeah, it is. Our Commander was a force of nature. Knew better than anyone what we were up against. Had been in the thick of it for years. And when everything was on the line she didn't slow down to rest for more than a moment because we were all depending on her.
