"Recently, you've all been told that there is a traitor.
"So you should probably know what it was I did."
[She pauses, searching for the words while she lets that sink in for a heavy moment. One might note that her tones are different; she doesn't sound like her usual robotic self when she speaks. Quite the opposite, actually. Rey sounds almost like-human. In her own way, you could say that this her one big "fuck you" to Smiley. You think she wouldn't tell everyone? Well, now she is. Full disclosure. So there.]
"I entered the dark corridors shortly after the DUPRR crew had docked the ship. Before long it became apparent that the things infesting the hallways weren't approaching me with any hostility. Because they weren't attacking, I was able to reach the secondary shuttle bay more or less without much incident. During that trek I made an effort to avoid others, not knowing the extent of the compulsion and whether it would also drive me to harm anyone who stood in the way." [Well, it's mostly the truth she speaks. You're welcome, William.]
"All that remained was the DUPRR pilot, Neson. Needing his trust, I tricked him into coming with me by pretending to be a person who was trustworthy. It's something I've become rather good at, actually -- pretending to be someone else, much like how I am right now. Despite the fact that something wanted me to kill this man, I decided to will against it.
"It didn't work as intended.
"Instead, I took him to the White Room. I opened the door. And I led him through.
"He's likely still in there right now, where it's kept him."
[She stops, still dizzied from the jump. The more she speaks, the more hoarse her voice gets. She hasn't been using it that much lately, and it's clear from her shadowed eyes and worn features that she's been neglecting more than just sharing this information.]
"Apparently, doing this has-- 'stopped the clock', whatever that means.
"For what it's worth, I'm sorry."

[ Squint...... Oh. ]
you know what i meant. gotta build a plan off what we have and what we need. like what i have isnt secret weapon quality, but at least its something, you know? maybe someone else has a better power that will help.
[ Clearly too excited for this. ]
no subject
what do you have?
no subject
a very particular set of skills]nothing important
[ Lying works like sarcasm over text, right? ]
no subject
LAUREN I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL FIND YOU - AND I WILL KILL YOU]you said "power" just then.
pretty sure that's what it read.
and you're saying that it's nothing important.
[Can you tell how much she believes you, Sam? Can you see it brimming through her text?]
no subject
Shit— Did she type that? Fuckfuckfuck—
Nope. Definitely not. She's looking at it right now. ]
i didnt say that. told you it wasnt a secret weapon worthy anyway. so its no big deal.
[ Sam, you are god awful at this. ]
no subject
you just did it again. [YOU'RE IMPLYING THE THINGS DON'T THINK REY DOESN'T NOTICE THE THINGS.]
don't really care.
just curious what "it" is.
no subject
if you dont care then why are you curious about it?
no subject
should rephrase this.
don't care whether you think it's important or not.
"not" in this case.
curious to know either way.
you would hardly be the only one with a power around here.
assuming that's why you brought it up in the first place.
no subject
i thought there might be other keepers but i wasnt sure .
sort of meant to stay your fucking secret where i come from or you get lynched.
fuck it
ive been told its dream walking.
im sure its more than that but so far thats all it is.
no subject
knew a couple people who could do that. they never mentioned anything about having keepers.
never asked them though.
no subject
keepers are just people that get powers from their walkers.
never had to explain this stuff before. shits weird.
its something like that. its something more than just dreams though.
fuck i didnt really get a lot of guidance on it so i havent even really got it down.
text; private
don't come from a place that has anything like that.
probably.
wouldn't actually know for certain.
you should try and get used to the weird. not many people here come from the same world.
assuming you only recently arrived and don't know this already.
so you don't have a handle on it yet?
is there anything we should know?
our other guy who can manipulate dreams went out of control with his abilities, causing a sleepwalking epidemic. it got violent.
text; private
shit. i dont think so.
its only happened a few times since my walker found me.
just wake up in someones dream. or subconscious. or whatever it is.
can see whats in their heads and talk to them pretty unfiltered.
then i wake up.
like i said. didnt exactly get the instruction book on this.
text; private
didn't really get one either. [She was just EXPECTED TO KNOW how to handle her own shit.]
do you have any control when you're in their heads?
like getting out?
can't imagine there aren't some heads you would rather not get into.
text; private
i even know its a dream and everything whe nit happens
but i dont wake up until dude wakes up or i wake up.
its surreal as Below man. seriously.
text; private
how long have you had this?
do you know anyone else with this same ability?
[SO MANY QUESTIONS. Rey has them!]
text; private
not long. a month maybe.
i dont know nayone that does what i do.
keepers arent very social so i probably wouldnt know until i met one upclose.
text; private
wouldn't know about the "more than just dreams" part you mentioned, but
there is someone here who can manipulate dreams. not sure if it's the same thing you have. still, it could be worth looking into.
text; private
even if it isnt exactly the same, might be able to get some tips.
thanks for the heads up!
text; private
his name is william by the way.
rather easy to find. he's the chief medical officer.
