More sleep, more awesome

beccaelizabethI dreamed I was married to Tony Stark.
I call that a good day.
Actually there was a whole thing where we body swapped sometimes and didn't tell anyone, so we were sort of collectively Tony Stark, via telepathic soul bond.
:-)
I read the other day that the US Air Force used a ton of PS3s to make a supercomputer, so in the dream we were on the run and needed a supercomputer so we went somewhere with a whole lot of PS3s. And plugs. So we went to the world's largest electronics superstore. Once there I explained the plan to the team and said we could either break in after closing and spend all night plugging things in, or... *looks at Tony*.
Tony grins, takes off his disguise - a baseball cap and dark glasses, he's not great at undercover - and struts right up to the customer service desk.
Tony Stark, our favourite blunt instrument. Kind of overkill for most tasks.
So he was all "I was thinking, world's largest electronics superstore, world's largest LAN party!"
All the staff rushed to help and they didn't even fuss when the team confiscated their phones, because confidentiality. That's some weapons grade charisma there.
With the supercomputer built - smaller than the Air Force one but still pretty shiny - we resurrected JARVIS, who of course went out to conquer the electronic world for us.
Then we went and stole a starship.
... well it's the best portable supercomputer around. It's totally the next logical step.
I was running the show, I had a really nifty rifle and kept leading the team around blowing up seemingly random targets, causing a little chaos, interrupting signals, drawing security teams away. And I kept the destination a surprise, until we strolled up to the build site. I was all, here, sweetie, present! And Tony snuggled up and was all "You're so good to me."
I try.
So now I want to write a superhero starship heist.
The dream wasn't terribly helpful on the plot. Like, the 'team' didn't seem to be two characters from the same fandom. There was Captain Archer and we were stealing something very like the NX-01, but in a very unfinished state, no weapons, not even space proof for the most part. But it had engines and we had Stark. We could manage the rest. Other characters included I think Jim from The Sentinel, as a security officer.
We were on the run because of a sneaky infiltration. You had to kind of break your brain to see it, but I have some experience in that line. Presumably Sentinels could spot it too. When you're fooled they look just like whoever they've replaced, but when you see through them they're just figures wearing black with a shiny white plastic head, smooth and bald, with a nose and mouth and eye holes open on a whole lot of nothing. Or sometimes just blank white. I can't decide which is more disturbing.
If you decapitate them, say with a laser sword, they lie there twitching for quite some time.
At first I thought I was the only one who could see them, and anyone, team or crew, could have been replaced. But by the time I made my way back to the others, I found a little twitching heap of enemy, and a very grim looking Sentinel.
Once we have our own starship we could screen very carefully anyone who wanted to join us. Don't know what we'd do after that though. But: Tony Stark with his own starship :-D
