1. console: video

[When the video feed begins, there is a redhead frowning at the screen.]

As far as planets go, this isn't the worst place I've been to. Though I suppose this hardly counts as a planet.

[The frown deepens, and it's obvious that he is struggling to wrap his head around the fact that he has found himself here on a turtle and it's difficult to grasp.]

However, there are some deep-seated issues in this city that should be addressed. How do you expect to have any sort of progress when this place is so divided? There is strength in unity, which all of you seem to fail to see. Instead of competing with one another for power, wealth, and resources, it would be much more logical for all of you to fall in line. Some who have power and autonomy do not always deserve it, and are too feeble-minded for it. Should they cast their support in favour of those who are fit to lead, there will no longer be chaos.

If you're honest with yourself, you can admit that it's what's best for any society.

Approximately two and a half years, and you've been unable to find a way to leave.

[It's disconcerting.]

What is this "dreaming" realm?

[As much as it caused her a small degree of pain to admit:] ...no.

[Granted, she was in no rush to return. Though she missed her friends and family dearly, there were important matters in Keelai that still required attention. She was a Green Lantern on her own mission. Hal Jordan would have been proud.]

It is an alternate dimension we are capable of traveling to under the proper circumstances. A realm which...does not strictly adhere to convention rules of the space-time continuum.

What makes it different, and how do you access it?

[He's not sure whether that would even be something that he could take advantage of or not, but it sounds interesting in the very least.]

There is a special gate. You must enter it through there.

Though I...have only done so once before, and do not recommend it.

[A realm did not always abide by the laws of reality was a bit much for her scientific mind. All her calculations had been thrown off.]

[If a droid is telling him not to go somewhere, he's a bit inclined to listen. In this case, at least, as he doesn't think Aya has much of a bias.]

I'll remember that. If it doesn't serve as a potential escape route, there's hardly any point in messing with it.

It does not. Of that, I am currently certain.

Every individual known to have traveled there has returned here, regardless of the length of duration spent, except for one isolated incident. And that incident involved the defeat of the greatest nemesis this world had known in quite some time.

To replicate those precise circumstances, given his defeat and destruction, would be...quite difficult.

I suppose so.

[He doesn't know much about it, but the impression he got from the kedan at the welcome centre was telling enough.]

There is no point in needless destruction, either.

[If it's necessary to access that dream space and still not return.] Is the person in question really gone for good, or is it a matter for them having not yet returned?

...unknown.

[If she were to be 100% honest.]

But many would choose to insist the former, given the severity of the battle in which we engaged.

I find it's better to assume that someone is dead unless you see the body.

Your words are...not illogical.

However, as a significant time has passed, and no evidence has yet to present itself to us, such a theory will continue to remain just that. A theory only.
