I was in the same place as you before. The nightmares I mean. I kept having the same dream of the time some punk picked me off with a sniper rifle when I was uprooting local militia from a mining site. It would be a clean shot, putting me out instantly without ever knowing what happened. Then all of a sudden I wake up in a CRU, just like every other time one of those Minmatar teenage hacks managed to get in a lucky shot. I think to myself "when I find that kid I am going to let him know exactly how painful hybrid rounds are when they bore through your head" and I wait for the CRU to open. Only it doesn't. It never does. Seconds go by before I start to feel the fluid around me boil. I just sit there, trapped and screaming into my helmet as I am burned alive without ever even knowing what happened.
As it turned out, the logistics airborne unit that was due to provide a fresh batch of clones got shot down on their way into the combat zone. Our intel never mentioned anything about these hick miners having access to swarm launchers, there was no way the pilots could have known to keep an eye out for them. The CRUs controls were shot to hell but were still active for a good seven minutes until the components finally melted from the heat of the fire that burnt from the wreckage. When I rotated off that planet I hunted down the man who was routing troop spawning through the system from the MCC and beat him within an inch of his life. No one even thought of stopping me, I wasn't the only one who woke up in those VTOLs.
Anyway, I think I can help. See, I decided to take a break from the action for a few weeks after that, but the nightmares followed me. I ended up in the company of some Guristas chick running medical supplies into and out of a pirate haven. A weekend with here was enough to dull the pain, and drugs she sent me home with keeps me doped up enough so I can unwind before my next fight. If you like, I can get you in contact with her. She is a sweet gal, I am sure she would love to help you. |

I am starting to have some serious issues. My dreams are becoming more and more abstract. The original horrors of war have begun to be replaced by vast polymorphist creatures and writhing masses of debased cephalopods in deep sea trenches on alien worlds. In my waking hours, I and feeling increasingly unsettled in otherwise calming situations.
When I spoke with a tech he insisted that the third generation implants I operate on are prone to causing "rapid onset dementia." Thankfully he explain that it was simply a physical issue, not a mental breakdown. When I swapped into a new clone with a newer implant (and a fresh brain) I could think clearly, but the horror of those months I would spend in low-cost third generation stock clones still leaves me unnerved. |
