Deep Dream State

They Will Never Hold This Peace

The Deep Dream State is, deep down, all about veils.

Sometimes the screen glitches or the mask cracks. You take the unexpected door into the backrooms. You see what's behind the facade you're presented, and it's terrifying and fascinating all at once.

There's a wreck of ways of talking and thinking about those masks. The Chthonic tells a particular version that will never, ever be featured on Hallmark. Pull back the bridal veil to see a writhing mass of tentacles. Then pucker up!

Emma and her bridesmaids escape the ship's chaos and discover a hidden instrument room monitored by Selene. Through whale songs, they begin hearing songs from their dreams. Selene reveals cryptic knowledge of R'lyeh. During an unsanctioned excursion to Tunngavik, Kara becomes entranced by mysterious runes and follows them off the marked path. The group encounters a sealed chamber depicting the naditu, priestesses who offered themselves to ancient entities. When Kara triggers the chamber to open, the full scope of the ritual becomes apparent. The Captain and Olivia reveal themselves, exposing this as part of a larger ceremony. Emma's wedding may not be to a human at all.
