REPORT 011 :: ILLUSION // VIDEO
[DRAWN | WRITTEN // PRIVATE FILTER 100% // 75% TO ALEXEI, VAL, AND FAMILY // DAISY WAS THINKING OF TELLING THEM THIS]
Dream 1
Combat Op. Ruined town with massive torn apart metallic buildings. A lot of it incinerated. Fought along other soldiers with my same size. All had suits like hastings' exoskeleton, but designed for warfare. We all operated with extreme efficiency.
All enemies were aliens. Monsters. Zealots, but not Third Party. None had wings.
[At the end of this report, there are sketches of armors like Daisy's, and creatures that looked almost disturbingly stylized.]
Too detailed. Memory is too vivid.
Dream 2
Woken up as a young girl. Accompanied with other kids. Men in uniform draw us into a row. One is beaten for leaving the line. Feeling of fear and loneliness. Woman com
[The notes end abruptly, and another message begins.]
[FILTERED TO ALEXEI'S GROUP, THE BLUE ROGUES, DR. HASTINGS, AND FAMILY]
[From the rooftops, there is the sight of Luceti's forest near the village. At first, the view continues to change until something pink moves slowly from behind the woods. There is the sound of a finger dashing the paper it is recording on.
The focus draws closer until the creature becomes clear. A monster resembling a malnourished and bald overgrown wolf that patrols around the village. It notices living beings... but it ignores them, and continues moving.]
Are you all seeing this?

... I know I don't have to tell you this, but be careful.

[Okay, this is partly a lie, because otherwise she would've never enlisted. But this is her Dad.
There is a pause. She considers telling him what she saw. What she felt. This was stranger than all of the dreams she ever had, and worse than her nightmares: Being taken as a child, away from her family; being cornered and killed by abominations, unable to save a group; and then a feeling of loneliness and homesickness beyond anything she had ever imagined.
Even when in that dream she was in Luceti Valley.]
Can I ask something? [She hesitates for a few seconds.] Dad... What did you dream about?
[Filtered]
It was strange, pumpkin. Not all of it was bad, but... definitely strange. It started in a small town, kind of like Luceti, but out in the middle of plains. Weren't any trees for miles. I was living with a couple... I think they were my parents, but that's kinda blurry.
I remember being really surprised when my powers starting manifesting. Not much after that until a lot later when I was in a big city, bigger than anything we've ever seen here. Then things got really strange. I was in my Superman outfit... and there were a bunch of other people around in similar outfits. I was starting up something like the Rogues, or the militia. We called it the "Justice League".

[A pause. She needs to understand more. The line that catches her attention is "A big city, bigger than anything ever seen here." Her next question is concerned.]
Dad... I dreamed of something similar. Not with people dressed like you, but like me. All of us fighting in a place like that. One part had really big buildings as if it was strong as Hasting's suit, and another--
[She pauses. She could not explain this well with words. She could not understand when she first saw it. The next section turns written and drawn.]
Did it look something like this?
[There are two quick sketches: One of a thriving city with almost unimaginably tall and shining buildings; and another of a city burnt almost to the ground, leaving only ruins.]
[Filtered]
The first one, definitely the first one. [He folds his arms, thinking this over point by point.] So we didn't remember each other... But we both dreamed of similar things. We were both part of a sort of group that used our unique talents to try to help mankind. And we both were in... cities like that.
[Filtered]
[The "to help mankind" strikes a chord in her. Too familiar. She dreamed of something similar...
For his sake, she unlocks the classified content. And on the second dream, she writes what she had left unfinished.]
Woman comes, speaks us being conscripted, but few of us understand. After a pause, she says:
"You have been called upon to serve. You will be trained... and you will become the best we can make of you. You will be the protectors of Earth, and all her colonies."
The woman tells us that we would never return to our parents. [There is a long pause before she resumes writing.] She goes on saying that the place would become our home, that the rest of the children our families.
[The line that Daisy does not write, is this one: "Even inside that dream, I wonder if it's a nightmare."]
