Three of wands/Nine of cups/The devil
I woke up in the middle of the night from a strange stress dream.
A dream where I and a few others were investigating a seemingly supernatural conspiracy in which people were disappeared, their minds were altered forever, or otherwise were suddenly and impossibly changed. This search was largely focused online until we managed to find someone who could tell us the name of an older, abandoned facility related to all this. Most of the dream was focused on us trying to understand pieces of technology around the facility, focusing heavily on a tiny, sci=fi esc spaceship designed to function far above what should be possible. It connected to my and another member of my team's (I don't know if it was her name, but my mind wants to name her Makoto) and we were able to take turns flying it extremely easily despite obviously having no clue how to use a fuckin' spaceship. It also managed to use some strange tech to temporarily fuse the minds of two of our other members on the ship together- while they were attached, they were completely acting like one person that was a bit like both of them. (One of them found this horrifying when disconnected and the other thought it was cool as hell.) We theorized this was meant for battle or warfare considering the other systems they had control over while using this strange power- (2 heads are better then one, I guess. Can certainly think faster.) Though they had no control over any of the flight controls, just the weapons and some other smaller things.
Most of the weapons were fairly standard (for a supernatural sci-fi spaceship that connects to your brain, anyway) mostly including turrets. But one weapon was different- It seemed to simply... Unexist anything (excluding the air) it was pointed at in a rough sphere. Completely violating several laws of the universe. It was creepy as hell.
But that's not where the dream ended. Shortly after we poked around in the facility recording all the info we could, and left to regroup to figure out wtf to do about all this.
But something big would happen straight after- possibly because of our involvement in getting closer to the truth then anyone had or because of something else, who could say. But in an instant something terrible happened- what would become known in the dream as The Great American Restructuring. All across the country, huge holes were simply disappeared into the land- simply unexisting pieces of the world. Mostly this happened around lakes and rivers, taking most of tthe country's freshwater with it and destroying any civilization near most water sources. (I'm fairly certain the great lakes were not included... Maybe because they're inland oceans, not lakes, or maybe just because of scale practicality. Who knows, I can't parse the shadow government's intentions any better then anyone else.) But the point is very similarly to what we had seen with the spaceship matter was just unexisted. Gone in an instant. This time leaving giant craters and destroying a vast majority of the country's freshwater supply- all across the country this rough work was done in an instant, the first proof to most of the world (and far beyond the scale even we'd realized) that this supernatural shit was REAL.
I'm exhausted and I need to go to bed but fuck this would make a banger storyline for SOMETHING. I'll think about it when it's not the middle of the night.
