3rd Gear [Video: Broadcast Dream]

May 22, 2011 04:26

[The Forge activates on its own, propped up on a nightstand alongside a bed where Rex is sleeping. He's on his stomach, one arm beneath the pillow while his other dangles off the side of the bed. A quiet sleeper, Rex remains that way for several seconds before his eyebrows twitch and he mutters something that sounds like "nanites are flowing" and ( Read more... )

I suppose it's that time again.

[ Isley's smile is a gentle one for a change, not tinged with traces of arrogance. Of course, that doesn't mean it is any more sincere, only that it appears more sincere. ]

What a troubling dream...

[When the Forge reactivates, Rex is still half asleep. He hears Isley's voice and winces. Not really the guy he wanted to hear from right now.]

What? What time is--

[He stops. "Dream"? Rex sits up in bed and starts to mess with his Forge. He's seen weird imagery pop up from other people's Forges before, so--]

[Oh man.]

[He rubs at the side of his head. Great.]

You...just saw all that, didn't you?

[ Video | Private ] swordofthenorth May 23 2011, 03:21:42 UTC

I'm afraid I did. No pretending otherwise now.

They always say it will be over before you know it, but it never is...is it?

Depends on what it is, I think. The dream... I originally had it months ago. It didn't seem to last that long then, either. The procedure... It doesn't take up a lot of time.

[ Video | Private ] swordofthenorth May 23 2011, 15:57:30 UTC

The dream, and the procedure...neither seems very pleasant.

Do you know what it means, Rex? Your dream, that is.

I've been through a lot worse.

[He hesitates to answer the question. He doesn't trust Isley. It's possible he misjudged the guy earlier, simply because he reminded Rex of Van Kleiss. Regardless, he doesn't want to spill everything to the dude. He decides to answer without giving away details.]

Sort of. A couple parts are just trippy imagery that probably don't mean anything.

There are always worse things a man can be forced to endure.

[ A thoughtful bow of his head allows him a moment to close his eyes. ]

Do you really believe they're meaningless?

[ Video | Private ] naniteknight May 24 2011, 12:03:50 UTC

If there's meaning behind a nanite on fire being enveloped by a laser eye, I seriously have no idea what it is... It's just plain bizarre.

The rest...I think maybe I understand.

[ Video | Private ] swordofthenorth May 24 2011, 17:14:05 UTC

Would you hold it against me for being curious and asking what you interpret the meaning to be?

[ Video | Private ] naniteknight May 25 2011, 12:12:03 UTC

[Hmm. Well, not like he makes it a point to keep some of his memory issues a secret. He already told someone else outside of a locked response, anyway.]

It's all bits and pieces from a past I can't consciously remember. I've got amnesia, so my memory only goes back a little less than two years.

Some of that is from after I was injected with nanites, I'm pretty sure. All those scientists, treating me like an experiment when my powers started to surface.

[ Video | Private ] swordofthenorth May 30 2011, 21:22:13 UTC

Amnesia?

How unfortunate. [ Of course Isley sounds one hundred percent impartial. ] But you are remembering a little at a time, yes?
