TAKSHAKA

[ The Traveler appears before you as you board your train, which appears to be a team-themed, sparse, and incredibly modern, like the inside of a commuter train. ]

Today's dream is the dream of a conductor, who, despite the worst befalling his world, endeavoured to make sure his train still ran on time. Death ravaged the land, the bloodied bodies of the fallen rising to claim the living as their prey. Decisions had to be made. He had rivals.

Did he save poor lost souls that were not on his schedule? Did he utterly crush his enemies, to assure supremacy and secure his own life? It doesn't matter. He died, in the end, along with his world.

And so to, shall you. Do you wish to attempt to avert the course of history? The story of the Undead Assault Upon The Locomotive Enthusiasts of The Year Two Thousand and Twelve is now yours, and yours alone.

Buckle up.

[ ALSO THIS BULLSHIT IS NOW BLARING OVER THE INTERCOMS ]

I don't intend to let people keep getting killed, no matter if they are dreams, or not.

And what is your plan for when we stop, back up, and the zombies take three steps to not be on the tracks anymore?

We'll figure it out.

You need to learn how to take some chances, Nightingale.

No, you need to learn 'we'll figure it out' is not a plan.

It can be.

I'm tired of playing it your way, Nightingale. I don't care if those are dream people, but, I am tired of letting people get eaten, even if it is a dream, because we didn't do enough to help them.

And I'm tired of you risking getting us killed over nothing.

These are dreams. Figments of someone's imagination. You know what's real? Our destroyed worlds, and saving them gets stalled every time we lose. We need to win, and we're graded on how many we can rescue and how many of ourselves survive. The only logical course of action is to save as many as we can without risking ourselves.

If you had a plan to save more people, I'd listen, but 'back the train up on them' is completely stupid and won't work.

You have no reason to think that it won't work because it has not been done. You're being lazy, Nightingale. You don't want to try, because you're worried about the risks, but nothing is completely safe, and I don't want to play like you do, ever. You're making up a guarantee that is not even there, and that is dumb.

You're taking a risk that makes no sense. Why, exactly, do you think they'll line themselves up nicely so we can run them over? In the first place, these trains can be derailed by a coin, according to the Echo, so what do you think running into a bunch of bodies will do?!

It could buy us some time. It could do all kinds of things, including throwing them off, or knocking them over, and do you think a dead body can fix itself if it is knocked over? Probably not, because we will have knocked an arm off.
