What he was actually fighting I was unable to make out, it seemed as if darkness and shadows were attacking him. When I tried to get to him Something hit me, and I do mean hit I had some major bruises when I got back to Texas, but I also got a name I think "Chamberline" if this means something to someone please let me know. The Dreamscape was a dark reflection of Cypress Grove but with some features that are not in the real one.

That fact might be important, but I doubt it. As you know better than me, when we fight things in our dreams, we are wont to bring that fight to "familiar" territory... We bring the fight to our homes, to our hometowns, to the school we grew up with, wherever we feel comfortable...

And if it's not exactly as it is in real life, well, that's just because it's just a dream.

Darkness and shadows... Sounds like he has an unwanted guest seeking to dominate and bring him harm from within. I can't get in there right now, but I can help outfit you with charms and talismans that should help protect you from it, if you want to go back in there and fight. Say the word, and I'll have a nice set fashioned for you.

Holister's situation has not yet improved any. Even after the helpd we were sent. These reading keep fluxing between 250 - 350 then back down to 200 - 300. We had a spike shortly after the outside medic arrived. It reached 450, then it dropped drastically.

These feta waves are sparatic, weak, and are showing us little about what is going on.

The name you mentioned earlier Shadowstalker, "Chamberlaine".
Its the name of a deserted and alledged "haunted house" just outside of town. Some pretty bad things happened there. Its listed in The New England Haunting's Guide amongst its top 5 actually. I don't know why that would have any precidence with what is happening with Ben.

It we do not see signs of medical improvement come morning, I will have to use the new Feta Wave amplifier. Maybe that will give us some insight into his condition, or at least wake us his conscious mind.

I will try again soon, but something I should tell you first. When I was in that place it felt wrong, I am not sure I can explain it was and was not part of the Dream Stream as I am used to it. This was not Holister's Dream Pool I think either it had a substance to it, and not one I liked.

Y'hear that? Whoever can get up there needs to check that place out by morning.

Wish I could get there...

Hmm I think I can have an investigation team there sometime tomarrow. If any one else can get there sooner, well be careful if it the place I saw it is not a nice place.

When it's something we're dealing with officially, when is it ever nice?

Far to true, painfully so in fact.

You wanna zip over here for some of that protective gear? I can try to get some made tonight. If I take it easy between tonight and Friday, I shouldn't have any problems.

Well, except maybe at work. But that's different.

Don't worry to much yet between needing a little time to recover for myself and the stuff I have gotten involved in down here in Texas, well I have my hands full but I have an idea about how maybe I could get some other people in there with me, so no rush just yet.

Copy that.

I'll get some made tonight, just in case. Never know when some extra protection amulets will come in handy...

I will be there soon. After this debt is paid I will be fadeing into the background for an indefinate period of time, I need to get to know myself again.

Tell Mr. Holister I will be there soon and will be very disapointed if he gives up before I arrive.

(not sure how long I will be - trying a method of travel that is new to me)

You're absolutely right Ron, I'm sure if I blew up his hospital room it'd help a lot

We have enough people to cover all the main events.

Ron things are covered, stop complaining.

I am both confused and, I must admit, I little frightened by the events stemming from last night and earlier today.

I would first like to thank every one for your aid, support, and well wishes for Ben.

Second, Ben is still unresponsive, so tonight I will be administering a treatment known as a Pheta Wave
Amplifier. That combined with a proper dosage of stimulants shoud awaken his conscious mind and begin to wake up. I have my fingers crossed.

And now for the frightenng part, I do not know what to make of this;
but just after 3 AM we began to notice spikes in his read outs that ranged from 200 - 300, then suddenly wild flashes that went well into the red zone of 1500.
These sparatic reading went on for several minutes, then died back down to between 200 - 300 again, and has remained that way ever since with only slight spikes of give or take 50.

Upon a suggeston from a collegue, I called upon a resident Psychic Sensitive whose name I must withhold due to the events that followed.

When she attempted to make mental contact with Ben, she said that there was nothing present, that no conscious mind could be found. So I instructed to move deeper into his psyche. When she did, she seized, hit the floor and began to convulse as if having a seizure.

We stabilized her, and got her out of the room and into another. When she finally calmed down, she appeared catatonic. I aksed her what she saw, she looked at me with a look of such fear and panic I must admitt it sent chills down my spine.

I asked her again, all she replied was " We're all dead. " She hasn't spoken a word since then. That was two hours ago. I had her sent to Tall Pines Psychiatric where I work for futher observation.

Maybe after tonight w can get some real answers, I hope.

Doc, don't you fucking dare wake him up right now.

First we resolve the problems in his mind Then you wake him up. If its the other way around I'm not coming to stop Death again. And if by some miracle you wake up Death (or worse) and manage to survive, I'll take you out myself.

You leave Ben alone until WE (that is, the people of the Society that are able) put things right.

And don't you dare feed my any bullshit about Death being gone. I know better than that. You will heed my warnings or there will be consequences.

*whistles* Jeeeez bert

So far, every time someone's started monkeying around with Ben, ALL HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE! One time LITERALLY!

So no. No pulled punches, no idle threats, you fuck with Ben's head before the situation is rectified and you'll be dealing with a very pissed Turtle. When your own Psychic breaks down into catatonia and goes "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" YOU DON'T IGNORE IT!

Bert raises a good point.

So Kolya raises the good point, too.

That little girl needs Holister.

Now that I have arrived.

Mr. Holister, Why are you asleep?
Your body is fine, I checked.
Are you going to give up on your family that easily?
Are you going to give up on Cypress Cove that quickly?
Your family is safe, they are at home waiting for you.

Okkikan led me to the girl, she misses you terribly.
She wants to show you all the "neat" things she picked up at The Cherry Hill Temple in Tokyo. Why was she at the place I was trained?

I will be here, waiting, with a cup of warm tea for you when you wake up.

I have to concur, less violently, with Bert... I won't back it up with threats, but I'm telling you, doctor, not asking you, not to mess with things right now.

This one officially is going into the "Weird Shit" folder. Since my friend's life is at stake, I'd like to keep it out of the "Completely Fucked Up" folder. Capice?

Aside from the "threats" made by Mr.Turtle and your "second opinion" Mr.KonThaak, I am a certified and respected member of the medical profession, and a close friend to Ben Holister. I would never do anything to hurt him under my care.

That is why I have decided to put off using the amplifier just yet, some weird stuff is going on around here..really strange, scary stuff.

That psychic, she's dead. This afternoon she drove two scapels into her own eyes.

Then we lost a coma patient in the next room, the cause of death is still being scraped off the ceiling as his chest/heart literally exploded.

Preliminary autopsy results found rat hairs and saliva in the wound.
How did that happen?

Then I got a strange message from someone claiming to be Ben on my computer, telling me he was hiding out at the school, hiding from whoever KT is and something about killing Bert & Ron....Ben is still lying in a coma in the room with me, I did not find the joke funny at all!

If anyoe can help, anyone at all..please, I just don't know what to do.

Dr. Sydney Valentine; PhD

Alright I have an investigateive team there they will be at the Hospital shortly.

Is it a bad sign that having my life threatened by mysterious and supernatural forces has become humdrum?

Join the club.

Ron! That's terrible! Remember, dead enemies don't need to be added to those kinds of lists (usually).

Uh Bert in case you forgot we have had enemies we thought dead come back after us.
