I don't really have anything to add except... why do we think this is a dream?

Or, more importantly, why do we think it's OK to take this as "Just a Dream"

I'm going to go look up Jacob's last name.

2 sounds acceptable.  This doesn't seem a place to fight.

2.

Also, wasn't Benny supposed to be the representative of humanity or something? He come across that way in the 'choice' sequence. And now there are creepy worm sequences.

"Please excuse my friend. He's a bit stressed out by the recent happenings. I'm sure you understand," he says, holding out a hand. "My name is Jacob Connor."

Yep, we're trapped in our own brain, and he's here too. Shit.

We need to meet this Jacob, confirm that he's really Jacob-ish enough to trust, then bust out of here kicking ass and taking names until we kick the THEY out of our consciousness. If it's even at all possible, what with choosing 1 earlier.


I'm going to take this as a completely straight up life-or-death decision, exactly as presented. It'd be extraordinarily cruel if it were anything but.

I'm still not sure why you thought Friday wouldn't be extraordinarily cruel. This apocalypse is.

2. Go and sit on the bed.

"Fuck it," you say under your breath, and turn to go sit down.

A few seconds later, you hear the sound of keys jingling from right outside the door.

Click.

The door opens, and Jacob walks into the room, quickly shutting the door behind him. He's dressed in a nice suit. Despite his condition when you last saw him, he looks perfectly fine. He regards you gravely, pocketing his keys and holding a medical chart with one hand. A stethoscope is around his neck.

"Dr. Connor, eh?" you say. "I had almost forgotten that was your name, honestly."

Jacob smiles.

"So, this is a dream. The real me is still laying up somewhere, hurt."

Jacob nods.

"So, what now? Are you going to become a part of my hallucinations, like Benny?"

"No," Jacob says, sitting down in the chair. He sighs.

"Then what?"

"I came to ... help you. And to say goodbye."

"You're not Jacob. You're just a dream."

"You're right," he says, taking off the stethoscope and hanging it over the chair. "I'm not Jacob, and I'm not a doctor. And this whole place isn't real."

You wait.

"What this is is a representation that you can understand. I only have a short time here. I won't be able to set this up again. I represent a part of your subconscious and a part of the infection within you. If you haven't guessed by now."

"So, you're a worm. Just like Benny."

"What you call Benny isn't just a worm. He is like me. But his goals are... different."

"Oh?"

"Listen, I don't have time. Soon you'll wake up for real and this chance will be lost. I'm here to help you as best I can. I'm part of you, but I do know some things that you don't. I may be able to help you. But you must ask the question. I cannot act without input. I will answer to the best of my abilities."

"Why are you helping me?"

"Is that your question?" Jacob asks.

"I only get one?"

"Is that your question? Quickly. They are coming."

Unauthorized access in room five. Repeat, unauthorized access in room five. Security team, report to room five. I repeat, sssssssssssssssssssssssssss

The soft female voice over the intercom again. It hisses for about five seconds, then cuts off.

Jacob is looking at you. "Ask," he says.

"What are the worms?" Or do we know that already?

"How can I control the Benny worm instead of him controlling me, or if that's impossible, how can I weaken him enough to evict him or win this contest of wills?"

Or...  maybe... "How can I save you so that you can save me?"

These are our most important choices... So... let's not vote with bold for at least a day...

I think Jacob has something he thinks we should know. To that end, I think we should ask him something general and open-ended, i.e. What do I do now?

I'm seconding Brentai's. Good idea. ("How are Benny's goals different?")

I'm curious too, but I'm pretty sure we'll be able to piece that one together.

Didn't Nicole say something about how there are more than two sides to this conflict? I'd really like to ask about that.
