☮ 003; [accidental video]
[The video feed clicked on as the NV struck against the floor--having fallen off the bed from beside its owner's pillow. The view was that of a plain ceiling, and a pale arm draped over the edge of the bed. Nondescript, really. What you might expect from a camera lying ignored on the floor.]
Mm...you're wrong...
[A quiet, uncertain voice--that of the NV's owner, no doubt. The sound of one caught in a nightmare, murmuring in his sleep.]
...he wouldn't--you're l-lying... [Images of nuclear warfare, of Outer Heaven, of the father he killed and sister that died in his arms; the guilt and pain ever-present yet hidden behind an optimistic smile. The dreams had never been this vivid and painful before...stress, perhaps, was beginning to wear on him.]
[Hal Emmerich awoke with a start from fitful dreams only to remember the broken illusion of a father he had barely known.]
