Good morning, Sleepers! Have a nice nap? I hope so, because there are a few things we need to go over now that you’re conscious. Seriously, take the time to read this and save all of us a few headaches.

1. Murder is still against the law. Whatever twisted reasoning you’ve got going on in your head, you might think that only counted in your dreams. It doesn’t. Don’t even dare try it. We will catch you and you will be punished.
2. Pay attention to curfew. If the lights dim and go all kind of amber-like? You’re out too late. Only authorized personnel are allowed out After Hours. If you’re caught, you will be escorted back to your quarters and given a warning.
3. Your dreams are not real. This one is hard for a lot of people. Trust me. I know. That doesn’t mean you should act on anything you think you might know from them. Chances are only the most common of sense still holds true here (which doesn’t include your names). If you insist that your dreams are real and try to force this opinion on others, the guard force will act.
4. Don’t forget your ID. If you haven’t found it yet, it should be next to your bed inside your quarters. These are necessary to get into many major establishments around here, including your own rooms. Try not to lock yourselves out.

That said, we’re all in this thing together and I’m here to help you. If you have questions or need clarification on any point, reply to this bulletin and I’ll get back to you at my earliest convenience.
- Rep. Anselmo, Guard Force

Oh, it was wonderful. You know, other than the fact I woke up from being dead. Not that I'm complaining, of course.

1. What if they attacked me first?

2. Why, are there creatures-of-the-night roaming the streets?

3. If you say so, bucko.

4. Oh, I think I remember who I am just fine, thanks.

I do have a question! Where's the nearest exit? Or failing that the nearest candy-store?

You'll have to forgive me, being asleep for nearly two centuries and all, but I've got a few questions.

[He's disinclined to believe any of this, but decides it's probably in his best interests to play along for now]

Ah, well. This is all a little disorienting, I'll admit. Let's start with some questions.

In regard to point 2; what do these 'warnings' entail exactly, and what's the penalty for being caught outside at inappropriate times more than once? In regard to point 3; what exactly do you mean by 'the guard force will act?'

Not that I'm feeling particularly inclined to break these rules, you understand. I'd just feel a little better if I had access to all the available information.

You're trying to tell me the past thirty years were all some kind of dream. That I've just been imagining things.

[ You'll have to forgive Shepard, she's been told things were all in her head before and she really, really dislikes the implication. ]

Sorry. I don't buy that.
