Reverie

Apparently a number of us have been experiencing hallucinations. Some aural, some visual. I happened to be able to record mine...

[ What follows is a shaky, first person visual of a corridor on deck 3. It might have been recorded via the wrist communicator, but savvy viewers will be able to tell that the perspective is more eye-level than wrist level. At first, nothing happens, then suddenly there's a loud CRASH! and a shower of sparks as the wall and ceiling panels explode, exposing wires from behind them. The perspective changes as Haruto falls to the ground, and after a stunned moment, everything is suddenly back to normal. There are no sparks, no exposed wires, no collapsed panels. The video ends just as the sound of approaching footsteps begins. ]

I do not know if others witnessed the same hallucination I did, or something else. But this should be impossible. Anyone with any insight would be appreciated.

I suppose it's best to be acquainted in this way. The message system is much more advanced than I would have anticipated; quick and efficient. Good.

I am Alucard. I see no point in compromising the truth, so I shall say it now to spare wretched and unpleasant surprises: I was sired by a vampire, my mother a human. So few are there like me, but we are called dhampir.

If you have no knowledge of what this means, I will explain and answer your questions accordingly, should you have them.

In any case, I will do whatever it takes to ensure we all leave this place as soon as possible.

I have no doubt some of us have certain deadlines to keep.

Yo. This is Zack Taylor. Couple things.

One, I heard of aliens and shit on my planet. But when a alien is in a wall back home, they don't so much try to knock your ass out as talk at you about how little you know until you're ready to die of boredom. We got this genre called 'sci-fi,' all about it.

[also, he's a power ranger. but he won't mention that part.]

Anybody got some more experience with this kind of space adventure? Walls that make you sleepy, walls that scream for help.

Also if you've seen any super ripped, baby supermodel-looking teenagers asking for a detention classroom to get comfy in, like that's what the kids do these days, appreciate you letting me know.
