Fragments from this morning's dream
"Also, hon, you've been added to the FTL-Executives mailing list, whatever that means."
-
"What did you tell those government suits?"
"I told them that Mormons, Aztecs, and aliens are all the same thing."
"But they basically are all the same thing."
"Yeah, I couldn't make up a story quickly enough. They caught me unprepared."
-
"Oh, and I registered us as Sinnbar."
"But there are no more Sinbbarra. They've been extinct for four hundred thousand years."
"Well... not any more, I guess."
-
"Don't fuck with us, kid. We've been negotiating with the aliens since the dawn of language."
"Which aliens? The crystalline water ones?"
"What, like you know of a better alternative?"
"Apparently, I do now."
-
"Wait, how long has this been lying buried out here?"
"About two million years, give or take. Documentation says it's 'a bit of a fixer-upper'."
"Jesus Christ, I'll say it is."
------
For consideration: I used one of those leaf-blowers to uncover it enough to find the entrance hatch; I should probably pitch some form of this one somewhere
