O.I: We come from all over the world, using a network where we communicate with each other. As a whole, the world isn't too good right now, but it could be a lot worse.
Daydream: The world you say?
Daydream: ... My world? Are you in my construct? Or my real world?
Daydream: Oh geez, I feel like all I'll have by the end of this is more questions.
Daydream: Well, carry on.
O.I: You can think the 'communication network' previously mentioned like your primitive internet. Easily connecting various races together while keeping people's identities a secret. As for myself, I'm doing OK. Doing a bit of writing to take my mind off of what you would consider the unfathomable. And before you go asking how I find the time between all the Observering we've been doing, let me simply state the following. We know what you mean when you say this dream felt like it lasted for a year. Not so subtle wink wink and a nudge.
Daydream: "Primitive internet"?
Daydream: Ooooh, the Aliens are straight out of a science fiction novel, aren't they?
Daydream: But you speak with English, in a very easy to understand way. If you've advanced to the point where internet is "primitive" I'd assume your language would have as well. Heck, just 50 years it would take for a drastic change in speech. Sooooo, you're probably bullshitting with me.
Daydream: Or... You're dumbing yourselves down and have done your research to fool me.
Daydream: Both are equally likely, I'd say.
Daydream: I'm not sure I understand what you mean with the wink wink thing, or that I really want to know.
O.I: In regards of what you just said....we'd rather not drag you into unpleasant topics, but perhaps you should reconsider the way you are viewing the situation. Just because Derrick's not agreeing blindly to what construct Alice is saying (something we doubt anyone would agree to, if they were in his situation) does not mean that Lucia or anyone else has more influence on him, just that an unreasonable request was made and Derrick had every right to disagree to it.
Daydream: ... Uhm, thanks for the advice but I wanted to just take my mind away from it with this conversation.
O.I: Whatever your personal feelings towards Lucia may be, remember that neither of you want harm to come to Derrick, and right now everyone's priority should be to save him.... for which, we understand, everyone but especially both you and Lucia will be heavy players. So it may be best to try to keep animosity at minimum and remember you both have a common goal to work towards.
Daydream: .....
Daydream: Right...
O.I: Well, it depends on what you mean with "our world". if you mean the world that we the "aliens" are in, the network is a good description. if you mean our world as in where our species lives, it seems to be relatively similar to your waking world, or at least what we have seen of it so far.
Daydream: Wait, what?
Daydream: You are in the "network" but you live in the world similar to mine?
Daydream: So... You're basically skype calling me?
Daydream: But in my head?
Daydream: That's... Pretty advanced, I'll have to assume the second theory I came up with you all is true.
Daydream: But then that means you're humans then, and... not Aliens?
Daydream: But with technology that let's you even speak to me without having a caller ID or even an address to send these messages...
Daydream: I mean, I'm just funnelling it all through Bob here, It would have still been going to my head.
Daydream: It's... like magic!
Daydream: I guess this is what it means when science goes to the point of progression in which it would seem like magic to the lesser of intelligence.
Daydream: I just can't wrap my head around this...
O.I: About us, we are mostly just bunch of people interested in helping all of you not die.
Daydream: ... But what's in it for you? Is this like a game for you?
Daydream: I don't understand why you would want to involve yourself in my troubles.
O.I: As much fun as it might be to seem like impossibly different and vaguely inscrutable aliens, the truth is our world is similar to yours practically speaking. We're biological creatures gifted with sapience. We live, we breathe, we love, we laugh, we cry, we hate, we sleep, we dream and eventually we die. Though unlike you we can't share our dreams with each other while we are asleep.
Daydream: Well I already figured out you're human, like me.
Daydream: With super advanced technology.
Daydream: But... I'm so used to calling you Aliens. I'll just continue to.
O.I: "Opinions vary depending on beliefs and location. I can't say for certain that all the others are on the same world as me, or even if they'd agree with my assessment of it if they were. Everyone can gather that our worlds are similar enough to be able to understand each other fairly well, but given our limited sample size that's not saying much. Bearing that in mind: all in all I'd say my world is a pretty good world, and there's nowhere I'd much rather be.
Daydream: ... So you're the only true alien!
Daydream: Why talk to... well, these other alie---
Daydream: Ahhhh....
Daydream: So you're all aliens to each other!
Daydream: Then that must mean you're all aliens to me!
Daydream: I just went full circle on that one, hehe...
O.I: As for the "Lucia having more influence" thing, or however you'd like to phrase it, there's a reason for that which from all indications should be helpful for your goal. We need to talk about that later, so ask me about it when you're feeling up to discussing it."
Daydream: I will do this.
Daydream: ....
Daydream: Well, so what I've gathered is you're all human-aliens from your own worlds, and you talk using the internet to each other across... space??
Daydream: And you all gather to talk to me and my friends?
Daydream: To help us... do something? Why?
Daydream: So confusing... But very interesting!
