Weird Dream Quote: "Zoe at 5 tannons."
I fell asleep on my way home in the cab. One of the strange micro-naps, that occur in the space of two or three blinks but allow for an entire dream to unfold in that time.
In this dream, there was a girl called Zoe. A tall, pale girl, a tad too skinny and gangly to be pretty, with large classes that made her look owlish. The only thing special about Zoe is that she could survive traveling at speeds of 5 tannons. Now, mach is the speed of sound. Light speed is, well, the speed of light. But tannon (in my dream logic) was the speed of creation. And Zoe could survive travel at 5 tannons. She couldn't actually move at 5 tannons, but something in her makeup prevented her from imploding / exploding / being shredded into her molecular components if she was moved at that speed. In the dream, the technology to move anything at that speed was hundreds of years, maybe even millenia away, so nobody really knew what to do with Zoe. They only knew that her mutant genes had to be preserved and cloned over and over again, creating Zoe after Zoe until technology could catch up, and her genes used for the good of mankind. Or whatever race we'd evolved into by then.
In my dream, I was given a card with information on Zoe on it. On the back of it, a table outlining her condition at various speeds, as if she was some kind of chemical compound. At the bottom of the card it read, "Zoe at 5 tannons, STATE UNCHANGED."
