Hisk runs. She saw it. She knows what she saw, and the omnicom and ring are so new to her it doesn't even cross her mind to warn others.

Werewolf. Here. On the ship. Running.

She has to kill it. It's what she does. She's a monster hunter, and this is a monster that needs hunting.

It leads her down to the city, just staying on the edge of her vision as it steals around corners. She pours on a burst of speed and finally comes tearing out into a courtyard.

The thing turns to face her here, a snarl rattling deep in its throat. Long bared fangs, slaver, wild yellow eyes. Clawed hands. It's the size of a tall man, but slouched as it stands with long limbs and a slightly short muzzle.

Hisk doesn't stand down, she coolly raises her spear into a fighting stance. Her heart's hammering in her ears as hindsight informs her that it would've been a good idea to find backup.

Too late. She gathers her courage.

"A'right y' mangy, skegging son of a slack-jawed hag! Get back here an' fight me like the man y' ain't!" she yells. The profanity and insults help brace her for the coming fight.

The werewolf barks and charges, and so the fight begins. There's much yelling and snarling.

It's been nearly a month (or at least, feels like it) since Irma was released from the pods and, for the most part, she was starting to wish to be put back in. Finding out that two of her friends from her world were here, but from alternate universes was just the start. The most recent addition to the weirdness was the fact that she though she saw her best friend and nearly got crushed in the process.

For the time being, she took to laying in the Observation Deck, relaxing on one of the plush couches. She threw her bandaged foot onto the couch to prop it, the girl wincing a bit as it got aggravated. Along with the other bruises and scratches she got from her brush with death, she certainly wasn't in the mood to be bothered by anything else at the moment.

"Ow... ow... feel like heck, sound like heck... augh, what else could go wrong?" she mumbled.

Joey's never had the easiest time of sleeping in strange places, but this nightmare business going on since his arrival has been rotten on top of it.

As usual when he's sleeping badly though music steps in to soothe his soul. He found his guitar a long with a few choice other items in the storage lockers so he's found himself a comfortable spot in the media library to strum away. Stacy has a library of sheet music like he's never seen in his life, but he's just working on songs he knows for now.

Journey's 'Only Solutions' is just rolling off the strings today.

Ahava had spent a lot of time preparing for this, even going so far as to get to the sensoriums early, despite her sore ankle, to make sure everything was exactly how she wanted it to be. Querl’s nightmare had painted an extremely vivid image in her mind and suggested a deep longing that she wondered if he was even really aware of. But even if the nightmare hadn’t made that clear, their conversation over the omnicoms would have. He saw her as something of a mother figure, and considering what his last mother had apparently been like... well. She had plenty of reasons to want to make sure his experience was entirely different this time around.

That was why she was being so thorough now. The sensorium had been set up surprisingly simply: a park on Earth on a nice, pleasant spring day. It was quiet, though there were faint sounds that might have been a city somewhere in the distance, and while the sun was shining brightly, it wasn’t too hot either. A large, leafy tree offered plenty of shade, and under that Ahava had set out everything for a quiet picnic. A simple wooden bench decorated with a plain white cloth, a holographic Tri-D chess set, and even a picnic basket.

Now everything was ready, she settled back to relax in the shade and wait for Querl to arrive.

There is a traitor in your midst, meatship. A crew member working for the Nightmare King, enacting his will subtly on the crew.

This person has access to all the Nightmare King knows about their crewmates, and there's plenty the horrible being can glean from their dreams.

Today, it's time to act, to try to cripple all they can, to bring the fears of their crewmates to the forefront to make them easier prey. Today they revel in their cruelty, their soul twisting and writhing in the grips of their cruel master.

[ooc: This is your cue! Each of you, tag in making a new subthread, and set up the setting of where your character is, like you'd do for an post to the comm in general. In the OOC post please lay out the fears and insecurities you plan to exploit in your character's final nightmare to help with the messin'--they'd be bringing those fears to the forefront with their comments, to make it easier for the Nightmare King to act on them]

The message is brief, but vitally important. The bridge crew receives it.

||I am currently in dimensional nexus in Macrospace. Extending Talus Array. Extradimensional Communications link...initiated. Connecting...||

||Data transfer initiated. Encrypted security codes sent and received... ALERT: Incoming message from Daligig Command, marked: VITAL. ALERT: Incoming message from Daligig Command, marked: VITAL. ALERT...||

For a brief moment the relative silence of the ship is broken by the blaring of an alarm klaxon. The Sensoriums, the crew quarters, engineering, the observation deck, the mess hall - everywhere. It's followed moments later by Captain Kirk's voice via Stacy's PA system.

"Red alert, red alert! All hands, we are at red alert, effective immediately.! This is Captain Kirk speaking. I've just been informed that the Daligig have unearthed - and tranmitted to us - vital information about the being known to us as 'the Nightmare King'. I'm also aware of the 'waking dreams' that have been affecting all of us. I want everyone prepared and on the alert. Nanoha - assemble your team and finish your preparations immediately. I want to be moving as soon as possible. Mister Kennedy, put security on full alert. Command crew - I'll be briefing you soon. If what we've been told is correct, we face a grave threat, the likes of which some of us have likely never seen before. I will inform all of you once this information is confirmed. Kirk out."

Then his voice and the klaxons fade back into silence. Better get moving, people.

By the time Sam and Dean Winchester arrived in the hangar deck where Dean's black, 1967 Impala was kept, Castiel was already there waiting for them.  He stood at the rear of the vehicle and the trunk was wide open.  How he got it open God only knew, but he had, even without the keys.  He appeared to be busying himself sorting through something that lay inside.  Close inspection would reveal them to be a collection of silver bullets.  A whole heck of a lot of silver bullets.  Each had Enochian sigils carved into them and, given the volume, there was no question now that the Winchesters would ever run out of ammunition.  And they were going to need it, especially now.

"Hello, Dean.  Sam," Castiel said, turning to face the brothers as they approached. 

He really didn’t want to be here and he really didn’t like taking orders. But what else was he supposed to do? What other choice did he have?

…Okay, honestly Dustin could think of thousands of other options, and to those thousands of options there came thousands of ways a single one could backfire and send him straight back where he started. This…this was the safest way. It might’ve been the most humiliating and the last one he would’ve tried in slightly more favorable conditions, but it was the securest.

And thus comes a knock on Head of the Magical Department Nanoha Takamachi’s office door, soon followed by the abrupt opening of said door, a certain Dustin Silver barging in with a patched shirt and a recently splinted nose, and a very perturbed statement:

“This is for my benefit and my benefit only, so not a word out of your mouth about this, okay?”

Deadly phantoms are attacking the ship, nightmares are turning into daymares, and people are being caught by the Nightmare King's traps even when they're awake. The captain has put the ship on red alert and called together the Magical Department, the Security teams, and the bridge crew.

The Daligig have directed the crew towards two archives that have information that could help them--but will it be enough to stop the Nightmare King before it's full onslaught.

||These two Sensoriums have been configured to allow you visual navigation of my information archives. I have highlighted the path to the archives. However, navigation could be dangerous as in this state, safety protocols are not active due to security measures in my systems. Please take caution as you obtain the information.||
