Freaky dreams
May. 8th, 2007 11:26 amCollege day again.
So a night of waking up about every hour or so last night.
It's not that I consciously expect any bad thing to happen at or to do with college, it's just... world big becca small.
So anyways, had some interesting dreams.
Also, well trained. Featuring people I'm going to go see at conventions, and mostly Captain Jack. Who I aren't seeing at conventions cause I couldn't find one.
The one with the long complicated plot that woke me up for 0645 (which would be handy if it was Thursday but it isn't) was about Quark and Rom and an alternate universe Quark and a smuggling operation Rom was running that turned out to be a cover for exporting parasitic brain worms. They liked ferengi because they could crawl in through their ears real easy. They looked like three leg worms with a bad wig, but they were actually cross shaped worms with a lot of fronds on top. Ferengi brains were therefore also comfortable because of the four lobe structure, plenty of room. But they couldn't reproduce in a ferengi brain. They tried, with Quark, but it just did a little damage and then all the eggs starved.
So then Quark1 was brain damaged, mostly in his motor functions and speech but that made it difficult to demonstrate he was still thinking.
So the wormy dudes said that they could heal it if Rom did what they said, so Rom used all his brother's connections to start exporting worm-brain ferengi under cover of dodgy business of other sorts. Because nobody pays any attention when they catch ferengi going weird places cause they figure they know why.
also they made good cover cause if they got caught bad enough the worm-brain dudes could kill them, and then their bodies would immediately be turned into saleable dust. So nobody finds out what was up with them.
Except once they're out of ferengi space a few bodies were found with a distinctive damage pattern to the brain, so other species doctors had some idea there was a health hazard around, they just couldn't narrow it down.
So then Quark1 couldn't do any more plans cause of the brain damage so he teleported Quark2 in from an alternate universe.
As you do.
And all that up there I wrote Quark2 had to figure out in the process of figuring out exactly why four completely seperate groups of people were trying to kill him this time.
One of the groups was police in black uniforms and hover boots. Their boots had little rockets in and they could hover. Except ferengi ears being what they are the ferengi could hear them coming unless they were in a soundproof room. But ferengi had soundproof rooms to do business deals in, so sometimes the police could sneak up on them. This time though one of the cops had a defective hover and it kept on cycling on and off so he was oscilating up and down and the exhaust flame kept on showing past the top of the window.
There were also the ferengis with worm brains, who wanted to kill Quark for knowing too much, the ferengi with no worm brains, who wanted to kill Quark for being involved with the smuggling operation, and a selection of local business men, including a certain con artist Quark had dealt with before who seemed almighty wrapped up in this worm thing despite there being little or no financial incentive.
Yup, that was Jack.
Only in that 'verse he wasn't just a Time agent, he was a Multiverse agent, patrolling the boundaries for people like Quark2, who could make a right mess of things.
The local business people also wanted Quark dead, but thinking Jack had it covered they were being thrifty. For now.
So all the players end up together in a big loft room, and Quark gets the thing where the detective gets to explain it to everyone, and he's got it all right except Rom's motivation, and Rom says he did it all to heal his brother, and Quark is all "you idiot!" about it, because obviously making a ton of money was the socially acceptable motive. And then Quark1 turns up, and agrees with the 'idiot' part. Because the worm-dudes have no interest in healing him. Plus they can't. Plus, did anyone notice almost all the cops are currently breeding pens for the worms? No? Cause those headaches are just going to get worse.
*eeeew*
So Quark1 has a huge great bomb belt and he's going to vaporise everyone, having masterminded the whole thing so with any luck all the worm brains are in range.
So are Quark2 and Jack, but that doesn't bother Quark1. I mean he's already trying to commit suicide and Jack was trying to kill him, so it works out.
So Jack and a lady cop grab Quark2 and Jack says 'energise' and they vanish just as the world is turning white and everyone else gets blown up.
And then Quark kicks up a fuss until they've examined his ears and brain for worm-dudes by every method known to man, ferengi, vulcan, and a few species that haven't been discovered yet in his universe.
I'm trying to remember where I've seen the lady cop before. I know I have. But I don't remember.
Long straight dark hair, uniform like a Peacekeeper but with a mirrored helmet and hover boots, not a Farscape person, vaguely feels like someone from 70s TV. In the dream was using her angry voice, hence pushing it down an octave or so.
Doesn't much matter.
There was also the one where I was sort of time travelling to try and help Jack not shatter spacetime (which mistake was the only reason I was travelling, but it would force a time loop and we'd all be stuck in it forever, so that would be Bad. Even compared to paradox. The Earth was also known to *not* timeloop like that, so paradox was a question of scale.)
So I told him all about the bad guy, and how it was a bitch because he couldn't trust his senses, the bad guy could cutnpaste sections of time into his perceptions, pull up memories and re-edit them, make them look like they were in a new context. Effectively give his enemies Flashback disadvantage, actually. So, obviously, this would be a bit difficult to fight, especially in a shooting things sense.
Then I was all hugging him and 'it's so good to see you' and he's all happy-Jack, yet slightly puzzled. And I de-hug and look at him and "... you have no idea who I am, do you?" and no, he doesn't, but hey, hugs and kisses with pretty girls, why not.
*facepalm*
So then I had my usual superpower of almost ignoring gravity, so I decided to hide up among the pipes in the ceiling and play lookout. And I saw someone going through a side door that looked familiar. Actually, looked like the Captain on DS9, with a goatee and an evil grin, which doesn't actually necessarily mean mirror universe with him. But anyways, I warned Jack. And then they were still going to raid the main room, which was like a ballroom/diningroom full of... I don't know, lots of Bad People.
Then I woke up again. I think that plot snippet has potential, especially if the girl makes herself unexist by the end, but I have no idea where it was going.
Then there was the weird one with the multiracial Robins. I mean, the idea that Batman's sidekick might someday not be white is not weird, but these Robins basically looked like the fanboys of the world were slightly colorblind. All sorts of orangey brown costumes. And also the original Robin, but being 16 and in the shorts. Not optimal.
Now I got to put my shoes on and go to college.
... or, get lunch first. oops.
