*If there's one thing that's generally a good idea, it's that suddenly having random dreams like this are not something you should ignore. Especially considering the IMPLICATIONS. Which is why some of you are probably woken up by a somewhat panicked comm call by a certain medium.*

ROLL CALL! Hey, everybody out there, check in, would you?! This is IMPORTANT AS HELL!

I guess, but in that case why even bother mentioning it at all? It's not like the lines of logic wouldn't immediately point right back at him. I don't even know what this Trapezohedron IS.

[Ugh, dreams that don't make any sense! Ugh, being woken up by the COMP! Yeah, Cloche is still totally in her very frilly pajamas.]

First of all, calm down. Panic won't help the situation or for us to get organized!

[ghost_shield]

Har har. Are you in any position to check on anybody else right now? I know some people are still hospitalized.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I'm one of those people.

[ghost_shield]

I... I know, I'm sorry. I just... I wanted to see who's still here. Make sure it was just a dream and not something more important. I think it's safe to say at this point something just happened. Make sure everybody's all right.

[She's still visibly groggy, but she's also quick to respond.]

What happened? What's wrong?

[ghost_shield]

Right. *sigh* Well, you're still here, so I guess for now that's the important thing.

[ghost_shield]

Sorry, I didn't mean to react like that, but... did you have a dream last night? With the butterfly-masked man from before.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Thanks for your concern?

[ He sounds genuinely perplexed. ]

[ghost_shield]

Just keep an eye out, and pay attention if anybody you know is supposed to be here isn't. Maybe nobody went. I don't know yet.

Panic isn't the best response to this. You'd tire yourself out before you found anything useful.

Re: [ voice ]

[ghost_shield]

I know, I know. I just... agh, I think I would've preferred it to find out I just woke people up for nothing than to find out there's a possibility it's a reality. Can you possibly check on your neighbors, at least, help us keep a head count on who's here?

[doesitmatter]

I can; but what would you like me to do if they're not there? I don't think this is something that can be helped.

[pastalishe]

First, you need to establish the facts. You've made this feed in response to a dream, correct?

Ruri responds with her deadpan on full.

"You are being awfully loud for a nightmare. Sometimes a strange dream is just a strange dream."

[ghost_shield]

Well, no, but we can at least have a better idea on who's here and who's not. Even if it just means praying they come back like they're supposed to. I just... I don't like not knowing, you know?

[ghost_shield]

And how many "just strange dreams" can you think of where multiple people had it at once?

[ghost_shield]

I... I did, yeah. I just... there's people I wanted to make sure were okay. Everybody, of course, but I'd be lying if there aren't certain people I wanted to hear from in particular.

[there's an offensively loud yawn

and then a girl looking into the camera with this face; apparently not having bothered to get out of bed yet. But if it's important, it's important.]

Hatsune Miku, reporting from sleepland.

[doesitmatter]

I can understand that. I hope he's selected people who are capable of handling whatever's waiting for them, wherever they are. It'd be irresponsible of him to do otherwise.

[electricyousei]

"It happened several times back home, but we were all tied into the same neural net by the ship's computer by accident."

[ghost_shield]

Y...yeah. Well, you're accounted for as well, I guess. Looks like we're on home front watch together.

[ghost_shield]

...computers can do that?

[ghost_shield]

Oh. Uh. Sorry, hi. Name's Nicholas Reeve. Sorry, this probably is a weird way of meeting. Did you have the dream too?

[electricyousei]

"Suitably advanced ones. Not many of them though. It actually was a design flaw in the nanointerface the pilots used."
