"Roger Tango base, sadly they told me to tell you the same this morning"
Last night I had a terrifying dream. Well, I don’t know if that’s the right word. I felt like I was there, naked in a pitch dark cavern with a slick ice floor. I could only see for a feint blue-green light coming up through ice. Wind colder than I’d ever felt whipped around me, but made no sound. Behind me, a black stone wall stretched on for what might as well have been forever, well out of sight in both directions. And ahead, the seemingly infinite cavern fell in a broken slope of ever dimming ice downwards into darkness. Something was there, at the center. I could feel it watching me, with the purest kind of hatred. I couldn’t see or hear it, but instinctively I knew it opened its mouth and roared. I fell to my knees, the skin on the bottom of my feet ripping as they pulled off the ice. I didn’t know if I was deaf, or just couldn’t comprehend the noise around me, but I could feel it. Shaking every bone in my body. And there I sat, hands, knees, and toes freezing ever more solidly into the ice, completely paralyzed by fear. I felt like I was there for… a long time. Long enough that when I woke in my bed, my room felt like it was the dream.
I received a new report. I won’t be watching the attached videos.

>Rebecca Hanshaw: So, what’s the plan?
>Daniel Vickerman: See if we can connect to the other plane. If we can, see if I can cross in the suit Liz put together. After that, take some readings and get out.
>Rebecca Hanshaw: And if you can’t? Get out, I mean?
>Daniel Vickerman: You’ve read the contingency report, you know the plan. What’s with these questions?
>Rebecca Hanshaw: It’s just… You seem to be taking an awful lot of risks to get back to a place you said you didn’t want to go back to.
>Daniel Vickerman: <quiet sigh>
>Rebecca Hanshaw: So why risk it? Why not just send the probe and be done with it? Why push Management to sign off on a manned planar crossing so soon
