I'm spending too much time around FLEET.

bladesparkThere are also too many idiots in my life.
I had a bizarre dream last night, and the first, and most wierd thing about it was that I was Serapha, as in Captain Serapha Rhiannon of FLEET, in it. Apparently FLEET was building its next huge ubership, or possibly space station, the dream kept swapping back and forth between them. And for some reason they were building it in orbit around a planet of idiots. (Yes, to anybody who's seen How Mom And Dad Saved the World, that kind of idiots, as will be demonstrated momentarily.)
The idiots didn't like having FLEET looming ominously overhead, and so they'd decided to fight back, only they were idiots, and hopelessly outclassed. But somebody among them got the bright idea of building a stupidity device, that emits waves of pure stupid. (And for another media reference here, image the babies episode of Invader Zim. Yes, like that.) Anyhow, I happened to be down on the planet when they set the device, or possibly devices, off. And, like idiots, they'd made it an area affect thing, so that the waves of stupid were confined to the planet, and so it was mostly the idiots getting even more idiotic, but I was stuck down in it too, and was getting really annoyed at myself for being so stupid, and even more annoyed at them for making me stupid. The rest of FLEET though, including JJ, were still in orbit, and so unaffected.
If you know FLEET, you know what came next. Ortillery. Yeah. Tanks were also involved somehow, and guys in power armor, I think. The dream was a bit vague in places. Eventually JJ and Loweko broadcast an ultimatum to the planet, (and this is where a bit of real life mixed in, as JJ was wearing the uniform T-shirt I'd made, and I recall thinking that he looked especially good in it while being all "surrender or die!" to the idiots,) and anyhow, somebody managed to shut off the stupid device. I remember the feeling of getting smarter as the thing went down, (which was very odd,) and I also recall chewing out the nearest idiot about it. "Who in the world makes a device that makes everybody stupid as an offensive weapon?" FLEET just occupied the planet for its own good at that point.
Then the ubership/station was finished, and everyone from FLEET, and a bunch of other people too, were going up there for some big ceremony involving the launching of the thing, only it was also the next BoardieCon, so reality was getting mixed in again, a bit. I went there too. For some reason Dave Barry was selling coffee in a booth in one hall near the big ampitheater there, don't ask me why. I think he was going to write an article about the whole thing. I'm sure he'd have a lot to say about the idiots. Over the big doorway into the main room was a banner with an anime looking picture of some general and a quote that made absolutely no sense, even in the dream context. That confused me a bit until I looked at the name of the guy it was attributed to and saw that he was a Final Fantasy character, from one of the games I haven't played, and thought, "Ah, it's badly translated, that's why it makes no sense."
Anyhow, inside this big theater-ish room, somebody I didin't know was playing the organ (ominously, of course, though every so often a bit of something vaguely hymn-like would sneak in,) while everyone gathered. JJ and Low, and a few people that I can't quite remember were sitting up on this stage, like some kind of panel or something, with the draped table and everything. They were both wearing the uniform T-shirts, and I recall thinking it was a real shame that I didn't have the real uniforms done for them yet. they were also both wearing these green elven looking cloaks, though JJ's was more mage-ish somehow. Somebody else had an elven cloak thing, and I think that was Aranwe, which would explain where that came from.
Unfortunately that's where Mom woke me up, so I've no idea what other surreal FLEET related tidbits my subconscious had in store for me. Maybe I'll pick up where I left off tonight.
