A revelation!
So Cassandra has apparently been getting Magical Mystery Tour beamed into her head as a hint when she did spooky things to the bus. It's a Beatles song, oldies to my parents, psychedelic hippie shit from the 60's.
There's one song in particular on it, 'I Am The Walrus,' that caught my eye BECAUSE we're heading for a space opera. The opening line is:
'I am he as you are he and you are me and we are all together...'
So hey, quick question about QC and known space! Do we know about any hive minded aliens from that 'verse? Cause if not, we might have ourselves an old fashioned bug hunt when we arrive. Or, knowing the Arcana, preventing one!
ETA:
Someone way smarter than me with the Oracle powers that clued us into the Katadors being sweet guys, really just used those powers to ask what we were probably up against.
Roughly:
3 in 10 chance it's the Starmovers trying to make a new Role.
2 in 10 chance it's the Arcana.
3 in 20 it's the Hecatites doing something hinky, same as my guess that there's a new species in town or that something like the Skittles is trying to make a new Role.
1 in 10 it's "who the hell knows," a new role arising naturally, or Backstage breaking from that time ROSE decided fracking a dreamscape for magic was a good idea.
1 in 40 chance it's one of the old powers getting Borgy with it.
The chances are about 1 in 10 to 1 in 5 that the Hecatites are taking advantage of whatever it is that's going on, depending on what tiger they're trying to ride.
Also, it's not fucking Cthulhu you piece of shit Travellers, so we can rest easy on that score.

I do not like where this is going.

If it's any consolation it is, according to Berne, super likely that I'm wrong and like twice as more likely to be Starmovers trying to do the Harbinger thing right, this time.
Still, the chances she gave for Sudden Hivemind Situation were 1-3 on a twenty sider, - and a 3 in 10 chance it's the Starmovers.
And I've played enough games to know how often a one in twenty chance comes up.

I still don't like those odds, but we'll just have to be careful. Going in assuming anything would probably end badly for everyone.

What's your read on the Starmovers? Or on what has come before in QC?

I do remember that a Starmover's Dreams were messing up the place by creating Transformed Lands and turning people into Harbingers. But they weren't doing it on purpose. Starmovers just think really differently from most of the people we've met, and they and the other Dreamers had no idea how talk to or even recognize each other as people at first.
