[Video] 4AM Friday Morning, locked to the Sci-Fi/Tech Folks, the Mind Control Folks and Leah:

[Bones hasn't wasted much time since startling out of yet another dream, of the weighted and disquieting sort that he's gotten unfortunately good at recognizing as psionic spillover. He's hastily sketched out as much of a device as he can remember, and has it held up on a sheet of paper. For the hypertech familiar, it might be some kind of generator, vaguely cylindrical. When he speaks, it's with a voice hoarse from sudden awakening, and from what's visible beyond the edge of the drawing he hasn't bothered with a shirt.]

I had another one of those dreams, so if someone can say that they got it too, I'd appreciate the confirmation of my limited sanity.

Someone was looking at this on a display, a control interface maybe. There was a message -- 'Buffering mechanism disabled'. I could see a reflection in the display that looked like someone in an Outer Authority facemask. Woke up after the message, more or less.

So now what the hell is going on?

[Neville wasn't woken up by the call. The dream had taken care of that already.]

You're not mad, I had one too.

[They could both be mad, but there's been too much of a pattern for that]

We could both be mad. [Bones is a helper.]. Either that or slowly developing brain tumours from this that I haven't been able to catch yet.

What was yours about?

The same thing. If we were mad, I don't think it would be so alike.

[He shakes his head]

I don't even know the words for most of what I saw.

Sketch out what you can, kid.

[In another display of what's really Verdana's worst-kept secret, Bones' voice loses its edge in favour of something more compassionate.]

I've seen a hell of a lot of things since signing up with Starfleet, and more since landing here. The best you can do is use the words you've got. We'll compare notes.

I wish Muggle Studies had been... more.

[There's movement as he's groping around for something to draw with]

I'll try to draw what I remember...

I don't think this is something covered in anybody's studies.

Do your best, and since it looks like Inara and I are meeting once it's a less ungodly hour, feel free to come along too.

Machines at all barely were.

I'll be there.

[He needs to help. Even if he wasn't sure how.]
