Dolan noticed it. That connection he felt as he was in that crowd...he wasn't alone. There were at least two others who were Awakened, but Dolan could not tell how long they had been. "Hopefully," he thought to himself. "I can try and stay on their good side. The last thing I want is for this vacation to end up with me dead and in an alley somewhere." As he finished that thought, the lights flickered as they accelerated into deep space. However, a voice eventually came on the intercom, but then was cut off mid-sentence. Suddenly, the lights turned off, and the room was filled with a dark red, and with the ship's violent boat-like shaking, Dolan heard his luggage fall over.

"Greeeaaat." he said quietly to himself. "What a great way to start off my vacation." A few seconds after he said that, a man walked into his room. He spoke in a soothing voice, and asked if Dolan would like to accompany him through this fault in the system.

Dolan was not buying his act. "And this is the day I die from following a guy who wants me to follow him in the dark. Not." Dolan looked at the man for a brief moment. It was him, he was one of the Awakened he detected. He decided to keep quiet, lull him into a false sense of security about his knowledge.

Dolan decided to, even though it was a bad idea as this man had peculiar intentions behind his invitation, to accept it. "Sure," he said. "Strength in numbers."
