Alien shapeshifter/infiltrator dream
I had a dream that started out as a 'fight hordes of aliens' thing but progressed into more of a story driven thing.
So to begin with, as mentioned, I was a space marine or commando or something like that. Mowing through aliens.
Then I found out the aliens were working on a plot to modify some of their number to be shapeshifters who could disguise themselves as humans, though I found out they not only had started this, but had been on the plot for awhile.
So of course, I investigated with the intent of taking them out... only to discover that they themselves had shifted their plan to *integrating* and staying human/human ish, rather than warring.
And one of their people came to me at an alien bar and said that *their* boss had started to picture that, and were planning on activating a failsafe to kill them all. So they came to me, noted alien fighter, to help stop that from happening and save all the infiltrators. I couldn't be entirely sure it was legit but... it seems right.
So along with the alien infiltrator we snuck into an alien facility to do just that & save the day.
I think we did, but that's about where the dream ends.
