You cannot tell where your body begins and ends. You cannot move any of your limbs. While unusual, this doesn't scare you. Your eyes are closed. You let yourself relax...It's unclear how much time has passed. The darkness beneath your eyelids has changed. Suddenly, there is space, and movement. Out of the abbyss, a thing appearsYou see:> A black mass, swirling and writhing, ever changing shape, once full of shapes soft and fleshy, like the innards of an alien creature, once jutting with sharp edges, like shards of shattered bone. The mass has a blackness unlike any in the natural world, so dark it glistens. It makes the surrounding darkness apear faded and lifeless in comparison...> A twinkle. The small light shimmers alone, until it is joined by another, and another. As the lights multiply, they illuminate the substance underneath. An ocean of quicksiler, as far as the eye can see. The waves swell and crash. What you took to be lights were droplets of liquid mercury jumping out. The element rages, and you feel respect towards it's power..._____________Hi guys, QM here, trying something new. This should be fun! This question and the few coming after it will determine the character and place in which the action will take place.

A twinkle. The small light shimmers alone, until it is joined by another, and another. As the lights multiply, they illuminate the substance underneath. An ocean of quicksiler, as far as the eye can see. The waves swell and crash. What you took to be lights were droplets of liquid mercury jumping out. The element rages, and you feel respect towards it's power...The thing vanishes as quickly as it appeared. You feel your body again. That dream again... You touch the scar on your chest. The silver ocean of your dreams might disappear with the break of the morning no matter how hard it raged, but in the real world, there are consequences. A slight mana reaction during the injection ceremony, and the freshly inserted Magic Heart spurted out of your chest in a cascade of red and silver. Whether due to the inexperience of the Engineer attending, a micro-crack in the circuit letting in some atmospheric mana shift or perhaps some shoddy runes messing with the flow, your chest was ruptured and left behind a nasty red mark. You suppose you're lucky - if the Heart jumped the other way, you'd be dead on the spot. The Overseer Office ruled the whole afair a material failure and closed the case without further investigation. You suppose it had to be like this. Skilled engineers are few and far - they couldn't stand losing one to a malpractice case, especially right now... You should start getting ready. You grope around for your bag. It's under your head, right where you placed it. You feel for it's contents through the leather. They're here. You pop the top open, just to look for a minute or two. The sight always puts you in a good state of mind.Inside the bag are:> Vials of quicksilver, and a pair of gloves> An ornate book, and a multitude of paper slips > A plate and a dagger
