Dark Matter Mind Games

@quipxotic​  Quipxotic,

My friend Raven (@raven-mcbain-monkeymouse) shared a Dark Matter fic idea with a suggested title of “Mind Games” they won't be able to write themself because they can't do dialogue, in the hopes someone will pick it up, and based on your Dark Matter fanfics on AO3 I've enjoyed very much, I was wondering if you might be the person to write it.

Described here: https://noybusiness.tumblr.com/post/652572197116903424/dark-matter-syfy-fic-idea

and here: https://noybusiness.tumblr.com/post/655303946482696192/titlesummary-meme-ship-of-your-choice-from-dark

(Another possibility would be to use his scan from Transfer Transit from Episode 8).

And of course any other interested users who see this post are welcome to try their own version if they get inspired.

Sooooooo, @cynical-ravenclaw​ and I had another RamKing conversation thanks to her finding more pictures of Perth and Talay and the ideas we came up with are too good to hide in the chat XD

Since neither of us knows when we’ll be able to write this one, we’re putting the idea out there! Hopefully one day one of us will get to it *_*

Dark Matter Thought and Fanfic Idea About Dreams

I was reading an older version of the script for the pilot of Dark Matter, where it opens with the image of One in a misty stasis pod oblivious to his surroundings, and also thinking about this cut scene from Episode 2.04 “We Were Family”:

ANDROID (O.S.): How long did it take you to start dreaming?

FOUR turns and throws her a look.

ANDROID: Thoughts and images from human memory form the basis of REM and NREM dreams. Without memories to process, brain mechanisms are incapable of producing cognitive contents.

FOUR: On the second day, I dreamt I was back in stasis, awake but unable to free myself. It’s a dream I’ve had many times since.

and the fact that when people are stasis pods, their digital consciousness is uploaded to keep the mind active, per Five’s explanation in Episode 3.03 “Welcome to the Revolution” of how she saved Sarah.

So, the six of them must have been dreaming while in stasis, and at some point when the memory-wiping virus did its thing, their dreams must have just gone black.

I feel like someone could write a short fic about that moment.

Watching "Don't trust the B**** in apartment 23" and they just mentioned Sleeping with the Enemy.

Clearly that means I have to write a Rumbelle-story in which they are spies and spy on each other and are married and try to kill each other – No, wait, that was Mr and Mrs Smith.

Never mind.
