[The video feed turns to reveal Emily looking a bit worse for wear from the illness or whatever it is that is going around lately causing the headaches and the bleeding. She has never really addressed the network before, mostly because it felt superfluous and that was typically Nolan's thing anyway but this was different and probably an important thing to discuss if anything]

Hey. So I am not really sure where to start with this— I know there's been the headaches and the bleeding that has been already mentioned and still going on but lately I've been slowly been getting bits and pieces of dreams or maybe something more like someone else's memories that happened before in this place.

Anyway with everything that's happening right now, I figure it can't be a coincidence— so I was wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar?

[Clint doesn't use the network much, either. Probably because she can tend to be so antisocial and really, it's too much work and she's lazy. But something about this catches her eye, and she can't help responding, mostly because of the familiar quality to it.]

Hey, me too.

[There's some dried blood on her face and she's lying on her bed, looking haggard and a little woozy like everyone else, but she still manages to bring on a little bit of enthusiasm because hey, maybe since this chick is getting the same sort of dreams, memories, whatever they are...maybe she isn't crazy.]

Are yours jacked up as heck? Because mine...let's just say I hope they're dreams and not memories. There's some screwed up stuff going down.

[Hearing the response, there is a faint look of relief on in her expression mostly in knowing it wasn't just her] Yeah, it definitely was— I'm not sure what to make of it.

[there's a pause as she steadies herself, trying not to let the bleeding bother her too much] I know this isn't the first time something similar has happened though so I'm definitely leaning towards thinking they are memories instead.

[calibers]

Me neither. It was like something out of a horror movie. Not a good one, either.

[She pulls a face, looking tired and troubled and slightly juvenile with the mildly exaggerated grimace that marks her face for a moment.]

Why d'you think this is happening? And why now? It kinda makes me wonder if somebody's trying to tell us something.

[unforgives]

Yeah no kidding— I'm not sure why it's happening now, but I do think it's trying to tell us something with the previous crew on the ship.

[wiped]

I have. I've been having dreams too.

[unforgives]

seems like it's definitely not just a coincidence then.

was it recently for you as well?

text.

[wiped]

This one's recent. I thought I forgot it, but I guess not.

text.

[unforgives]

yeah, it was the same for me and from talking to a couple of other people, it definitely seems like we're not the only ones either.

text.

[wiped]

How many other people?

voice.

[altercate]

Are you going to tell us what you saw?

[ if derek sounds muffled, it's because he's stifling a bloody nose. the joys of tranquility life. ]

voice.

[unforgives]

Yeah, I'm getting to that. I was just trying to determine if it was a common occurrence happening now with everyone else.

It's a bit fuzzy but there was a group of seven people who woke up after a jump? Or at least that's what I'm assuming. Does that sound familiar?

voice.

[altercate]

No. That's not what I remember. There were people, but it wasn't--it had nothing to do with the jump.

voice.

[unforgives]

Wait, so it was something different? [she figured it was the same for everyone with the contents of the dream but maybe she was wrong]

[lostsoldier]

who?
anyone you recognized?
what do you remember about them?

[unforgives]

yeah. one of them. he wasn't someone i have personally spoken to but the name was recognizable.

it involved the man who showed up during the missing jump 19? joseph davis.

[ Sorry, Emily, Blake can't quite muster up the strength to fend off the pain exacerbated by the brightness of his communicator's screen. Instead, he leans heavily against the phone in his hand and speaks quietly, his voice cracked and dry. ]

It's happened to me. [ There's a brief pause. ] —more'n once, I think. One time all in one go, the other time just this... impression I'd been dreamin' somethin', just couldn't remember what.

[ That's not entirely accurate, though. He's started remember and that feels fairly significant. ]

But they feel diff'rent. Somehow.

voice;

[unforgives]

[it's all good. she would have opted for voice initially but she was trying to put on a brave face and keep up her tough exterior even if that wasn't going so well for her either] More than once— so different dreams, is that what you mean?

For me, it felt more like I was dreaming before it slowly started to come back to me recently, I'm not sure what it all even means.

voice;

[oversight]

That's what it's like for me — o-or what it was like the first time, I mean. But that was—

[ He struggles with how to explain himself, a small sigh escaping him. ]

The dream now — the one I'm just feelin' come back — I think it's... older.

[ John ventures a guess. ]

Were you ever trapped? In the pods?

voice;

[unforgives]

Yeah I definitely know what you mean— [she pauses for a moment trying to recall what she remembers of the dream]

Being trapped in the pods, yeah that's how I remember the dream started.

[fusterclucked]

[fiona isn't much for admitting her problems, and she's a recent enough arrival that they're much milder than many others, but there's still the remnants of a tearstreak of blood from one of her eyes, which are heavy-lidded like her head hurts.]

Yeah, me too. Like I'm someone else.

[unforgives]

[emily looks more or less the same which is probably like how it is with everyone else right now] Yeah I know what you mean, it definitely felt that way with me too. It was about this place, right?

[coldhardy]

[Elsa's face appears, sober nearly to the point of frowning.]

This has been happening to me. For the longest time, I couldn't remember... and then....

[She pauses, swallows, and seems to be beginning again.]

The dreams were about a woman. She was on this ship, or it might have been a similar ship. I remember that she saw the pods we sleep in during the jumps.

[video]

[unforgives]

Yeah that's how it started for me too—

Wait so your dream was about someone watching us while we were in the pods? [because that is creepy and how is that even possible if being outside of the pods during the pods meant ending up dead]

[coldhardy]

No, it was the same pods, but it wasn't us... I don't think it was, anyway. I didn't recognize anyone. Everyone was standing outside of the pods, like soldiers standing at attention.

[unforgives]

Maybe it was from the previous crew? At least that's how the other dreams in the past seemed to involve.
