Funfun dreams…

So, I spent much of yesterday mentally immersed in the universe of my books… specifically the first generation of Agents in the Agency.  Now… long story short, there’s a main character in that generation called Dobid Ahlan… he’s the original Enigma and was a double agent for the Agency and the early Psi Rebels… he’s also who David was named after… and his 2-or-3-great grand father/uncle.  And… last night I dreampt I was Dobid Ahlan… but better…

So I was at university, under cover… but the Agency was monitoring.. not like.. killing folks.  I was a computer nerd (as the original Dobid Ahlan character was), but I was also some kind of alien with “super powers”.  Gravity wasn’t really an issue for me, I could float or fly, and I could change my body-phase and actually go through some things… I could walk through a paper or cloth screen, but not through metal, or thick wood.  And I could see the future like David… with all those interweaving threads of events and people.

Anyway… story was I was watching the Rebels, and I’d met a woman… I presume in the real story it would have been Jean Malar (the first leader of the Psi Rebels - but in the dream she didn’t have a name), and her boyfriend (which would have been Jerna Ree, the second leader of the Psi Rebels), and I was really jealous of the boyfriend because she was magnificent and beautiful and powerful within herself.  I was socially awkward.. like the original character…

Anyway, I worked in the library of the university when I wasn’t in classes and I’d hooked my laptop into the surveillance cameras of the university.  The university Head’s didn’t know that I was under cover and somehow they found out that someone in the library and hacked into their security feed.. and they came into the library to look for whoever it was.  I was warned within about ten seconds of them coming into the room.  I unplugged my laptop and floated up into the ceiling with it to hide.  But they kept searching.  I had my handler/supervisor on a radio thingie in my ear and he was helping me to get out..while at the same time chewing my ear off about how careless I had been.  At one point he said exactly: “I don’t care how awe inspiring your abilities are, if you get caught we’re both dead!”  And he said that “ability did not adjust for complacency”.  I had to float up into the ceiling away from the second level of the room I had been in, and into the air vents.  I couldn’t go through the metal of the air vents, but the cover over the end of the vent leading outside was cloth or canvas or something similarly thin and not-metal.

The supervisor told me that the Agency hadn’t been given permission by the University Heads to work on campus under cover, so that if I got caught my cover would be blown, the Rebels would be lost from the Agency’s surveillance ability and I would likely be sent back to whatever basement I’d come from (I was an alien and had been under a sort of “house arrest” somewhere before the mission).  He told me that my complacency would cost far more than my neck if I didn’t pull up my socks and be better at hiding myself.  Anyway, I escaped the library and escaped from the security people, onto the roof with my laptop.  I found a place on the roof that was accessible to doors so that if someone caught me up there I wouldn’t come under suspicion… you know.. if I was perched comfortably in a place on the roof impossible or difficult to get to  it’d look dodgy.  And I spent much of the morning re-writing the access systems to the surveillance systems so I could access it without setting off their alarms.  I’d just finished and done a test run when the woman, Jean, found me on the roof.

She was surprised to find me up there but simply said “Oh, I didn’t know you liked heights, I’ve been looking for you all morning.”  I replied with something like “I’ve been here all morning programming, it’s nice and quiet up here.”
She told me that the group needed some information that only I could give them and she handed me an envelope with details in it and turned around again.  I asked her if she hadn’t known I was up here, what was she up there for?  She replied that she was feeling crowded and needed some space to sort something out, but turned away as if to go again.  I said that she was welcome to share my spot (I was sitting cross legged with the laptop in front of me on the wide ledge of the roof), she smiled and I sensed that she really needed to be alone.  So I then said that in fact I had an assignment that needed handing in and she was welcome to have the space to herself.  She realised then that I was an empath.  She didn’t say anything, she just smiled and thanked me.

I left the roof in the more conventional way on foot and headed down to a small study room which the Agency had funded for me to rent as my office.  I knew she’d had a vision (the original Jean Malar was a Time Psi), and I knew that she’d seen the conflict that was to come and that she’d have to leave the Rebels and her boyfriend to go into the Agency, and she was sad and wanted to find a way to stop it from happening.  I went down to my “office” to read the note she’d given me, and I was shocked to discover they wanted me to hack into the Agency system and identify all of the current under cover Agents.  Obviously, I couldn’t do that for her without risking my cover.  At this point my supervisor called me and asked about my getting a new mission from the Rebels.  I passed it on and he said something to the effect of “pack up, you’re done.  Orders are we’re taking them all out, mission dissolved”.

When I disconnected from talking to him I left everything.. even my laptop.. in my office and went looking for Jean.  I was intending on telling her to take her friends and run.  I couldn’t escape the Agency, but they could… I was running through the Library out towards where she was walking to her next lecture.. I was intent on telling her that I’d intercepted some communication that said they were coming to kill all of the members of her group and to leave.. while keeping my cover and saying that they didn’t suspect me that I could hold them off by hacking the university security system to give them time to escape.. but I woke up as I was running towards her.
