One man's mosoleum is another man's home

Tonight, once again, the dreamscape of the meatship has been altered.

However, this time, the dream was the same, no matter the dreamer, and was neither good nor bad, but simply odd.

Only a portion of the crew would have this dream, some of them intentionally, others whose mind simply happened to drift upon it in the dreamscape.

Regardless, it starts out the same for each dreamer:

The dreamer finds themselves standing on some rocky, barren world.

The "air" (for lack of a better word) is thick, so thick that the dreamer is positive it should be impossible to survive in this kind of environment. Regardless, they continue to breathe just fine, as if on Earth. The atmosphere is hazy, distorting all color.

Despite the fact that it is impossible
to see more than thirty feet ahead of them, the dreamer feels compelled to move in one single direction.

After wandering for what seems to be hours, the dreamer comes across a massive fortress, alone in this desolate place. It rises thousands of feet into the air, standing imposingly, as though there were something to protect out in this dead place. It is covered in symbols of twin-headed eagles, winged skulls and stylized I's,
but most noticeable is the symbol of the open book, through which a sword has pierced.

A door opens at the base of the fortress walls. It seems like more of an airlock, really, but regardless, the dreamer once again feels compelled to enter.

Once they do, they find themselves in a room, completely pitch black, save for a single light shining down from what one would assume is the ceiling. The door through which the dreamer entered is no longer visible.

Before the dreamer, in the small lighted portion of the room, is a table. On the table is a rather inviting pot of tea, with cups.

At one end of the table
sat the massive, robed figure of the Seer. He seemed to be drinking something notably more substantial than the tea. The word "amasec" comes to the dreamer's mind, but they aren't sure how they know it.

At the other end of the table is an empty seat.

"Please, my child," The Seer says, motioning to the other seat. "Do join me."


[ooc: This is just Seer's way of checking up on the crew. Once again, posting isn't mandatory, but if you want your pup to meet/interact with Seer, feel free!]

"Tea is always lovely," Arha said with a quirk of a smile. Tea would have been lovely out of a dreamscape, too, but she let the thought go. "Things have changed since we last spoke."

"This...thing you spoke of, this king of nightmares, he is most definitely leaking through. I have felt it myself, though I do my best to guard my mind. Those of this ship do what they must to prepare. They try, but many do not," Arha said, a nod of thanks preceding the careful way she took the teacup. She needed nothing but the tea itself.

"How fares your watch?"

"It is a good thing that this one has been caught and secured," Arha said quietly, glancing at the head with a slight frown. "If I can be of assistance, I am yours to call upon. I assume Katara is unharmed?"

"Such is a good idea," Arha said with a nod. "I would be interested in your comparison. I know Roxie will be eager to see your own capture as well. I have been assisting her in other matters and I assume you shall talk to her about this matter? I have no doubt that she will succeed in her endeavors. She can be...quite determined."

"I can do that," Arha said, though her smile was wry, "I will wake earlier and do it before the X-Wing training with Wedge and my Flight. Where do you wish the unit placed and what exactly am I looking for?"

"Very well," Arha said with a nod. "I shall have it completed after I wake. What...does it do?" She watched it curiously and sipped at her tea, eyebrows arch in mild surprise. It reminded her of something that could have been Ixian.

"This sounds fascinating," Arha murmured. "I shall be most interested in seeing its effectiveness." She shifted slightly in her chair and took another long sip of tea. "The incantation against fear and possession will be of interest as well...and useful. I am pleased to be of assistance."

"And you are quite welcome," Arha said, polite as always.
