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 don't think so. The Starmovers think differently from us and the other people in that world, but as far as I know there's been nothing to suggest they're linked up like that so it's probably not them.

I do not like where this is going.

So instead of a hive mind, the song could be important because the Starmovers are sharing their power in a way that doesn't stop people from thinking clearly? ...Huh, that possibility sounds kind of cool.

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.

I'm not the best person to ask about that. Most of the time I've spent in that world has been on the Waking side. I missed the first trip to Questing Country and the second time I was... kind of distracted.

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.
