[one by one, they are brought out of the dream, finding themselves in a brightly lit world of sand and broken glass, of familiar faces and audible relief.

as they pass through the crew quarters, they may notice that some tubes seem to be unoccupied, merely sand and empty air.

when they finally push open the heavy door, they find themselves on deck zero. the familiar terrain of the Serena Eterna. they never really left at all.

it is still and quiet; none of the usual ghostly presences can be found anywhere on the ship; in fact, it seems as if there’s barely enough of… whatever it is to keep the lights on, and they’ll find that all internal locations are dimly lit, making it difficult to search them. and they will be searching.

because Fio wasn’t in any of the tubes.

and neither was the Captain.

and Sparkles is somewhere to be found.]

Back out of the fire and into the frying pan, as it were, [ Ossie notes with some mirth, mirroring Watson with a drag of his own cigarette, ] still, I suppose it's better the devil we know. And better the devil without all of the ruddy heads glaring at us. Nice to be back in the sunshine again, at least. Fresh air to breathe, food to eat.
