Dear Stranger,

We have a lead! We have caught two of the people who broke into the DreamTrue Labs. Only took us over two and a half years to do. So much for modern technology, huh? Anyway, we should soon be able to know what exactly they changed in DT that allows the nightmares to come through. Of course we’ve had people working on it but apparently Dad really was a genius because the technology is ‘insanely complicated’. Even if we know what they changed and how to change it back, the modified DT is still out on the streets and people are still using it and dying because of it. Including enforcers. We’ve lost a lot of good guys to nightmares. People call them in when things get messy to fight the nightmares but that’s not what they’re trained for.

Why can’t we just wake the dreamer up to make the nightmare disappear? To tell the truth, I’m not really sure and neither are the scientists or technicians. There are theories though. Nightmares are more potent than dreams and cause the release of different chemicals in the brain, meaning that even if a person is woken up, the chemicals are still running through the person’s body and the DT system. Or nightmares are more real than dreams and it’s therefore not as hard for them to exist in reality compared with a dream.

Nothing has been proven or disproven yet though. That doesn’t really help us either.

There’s been talk of a new task force being created especially designed to fight the nightmares and kill them. Kit won’t tell me if that’s true or not though. I think it’s about time though. They should have done it two years back, when we learnt what we were dealing with. Kit’s been going to a lot of meetings with the top guys lately though, so I’m waiting for an announcement any time now.
