	In this strange dream-world chance rescued a hostage from four guards. The man spoke to chance at length about the grid and a rebellion he was a part of that believed in "Users" but Chance understood none of it. What he did understand, however, was that the current regime was enforcing slavery and death on the populace. Chance agreed at once to assist the man in completing the mission for which he was sent before being apprehended. Together, they had a daring ranged weapon battle aboard a flying transport ship before assaulting a large fortress. In the end, Chance had to throw himself into a large beam of energy along with a disk the man gave him before dying of his wounds.

	Inside the beam of energy Chance had a conversation with a User who "uploaded" some kind of "new programming" into Chance's head. As the dream began to fade, Chance found himself astride his horse in shallow water along the bank.

			Approaching a small lake, the party was accosted by two young boys on horseback. Chance soon came to find out that they were the sons of a nearby Ranger whom he had heard of. Chance, not having been this way in some time, did not know that the Ranger had relocated from the North to this glad some years ago. After some negotiations the party followed the young lads and met up with the ranger who showed them great hospitality. Ever the outdoorsman, Chance volunteered to assist the old ranger in scouting his property.

A “northerner” was fast approaching carrying with it gargantuan, rolling storm clouds that would surely halt Chance’s progress for the night.

	Chance made camp in an improvised lean-to and fell asleep around 1am. As the storm passed over, the sound of thunder violently shook the ground enough to wake Chance from his slumber. Upon waking, Chance felt as if he was in a dream, yet still awake. He felt compelled to stand and “walk into” the next sound of thunder; which he did.

Upon waking, Chance felt as if he was in a [[Dreaming\|dream]], yet still awake. He felt compelled to stand and “walk into” the next sound of thunder; which he did.

	As Chance took his next step he immediately fell down and found himself face down in a red soiled ditch of sorts. The air smelled of smoke and when Chance looked up, he saw misty and smokey clouds above him blocking out what appeared to be the midday sun. Chance surmised that his surroundings had changed when he walked (jumper advantage) into this new realm.

	Blocking out some of the starscape loomed what looked like a massive 12-15 foot ghost wolf. The wolf was silvery white and seemed to radiate an aura of awe when Chance looked into its eyes. The wolf met Chances gaze with an indiscernible expression. Chance then attempted to walk toward the tables and found himself saying aloud, “where am I?”, only to hear the sound of his voice echo back to him 3-4 times before it died away. Movement then caught Chance’s attention as the great wolf raised its head and gave a pure and piercing howl! Chance noticed at that moment that the wolf’s eyes seemed to glitter like they were white fire and a pair of stars in the sky itself.

	It was at that moment that chance found himself wake up from his bedroll, hearing a wolf howling in the distance. Chance understood he must have been dreaming, yet also understood that what happened was something with meaning and felt strangely at peace and familiar with that “place” he had just been. With nothing better to do, Chance went back to sleep and woke at sunrise.		It was at that moment that chance found himself wake up from his bedroll, hearing a wolf howling in the distance.
