He awoke from a long slumber. Lying in a bed in a dark room, not even a sparkle of light around, he thought to himself he must have dreamed for very long. All the memories were altered for some reason. It all appeared like it only was a long and complex dream of happenings he could not relate to his real life anylonger. It was like he never lived those moments.
As he began to look around, he noticed a big machine in the room where the bed was standing. He forced himself on the feet and looked upon the the big, seemingly still working object. He went closer to touch the outer shell, feeling the cold of the metal. The surface was vibrating heavily as if there would be something bigger inside, something heavy with a lot of energy. He pulled out his scanner and investigated the surface of it. It was some kind of metal, he didn't know nor saw it before. He wondered what it is or what it was. However it seemed like it lost it's purpose for some reason.
He looked back into the direction where the bed were standing. But it wasn't there anylonger. His surroundings seemed to clear up, but there still wasn't anything to recognize except for pure black. He only noticed, that the machine was growing bigger and wider. He stepped back and watched the action with a raised eyebrow. It took some time to realize the size didn't really change at all. But the machine was now completely exposed in the huge, dark chamber. He just didn't know what it was.
Was it reality or just another so called dream he had?
