Oh? I know that one. [Or was it "Lancer"? Eh, whatever. Sniffing them out will be easy with a name as stupid as that.]
Anyway. To cut to the case, they put something inside our heads that allows them to see through our eyes and knock us out with pain if they want to. For most it seems to be connected to the right eye.
They are also holding a female captive that might or might not be a Flamine.
And last but not least, that goddamn robot that saw it fit to broadcast its last murder through everybody's dreams can apparently hack into CERES systems and use them as well.
[He falls silent to let IV stomach what he just heard and to see if he'll ask the really important question on his own or if he'll miss it.]
[He narrows his eyes at the mention of it. The index finger of his right hand twitches with need to go up and touch the skin under his right eye, but he refrains out of the uselessness of the gesture.
He saw the robot in the dream, the same as so many others, so its mention isn't as interesting as the one before it.]
He's the one who most likely killed that woman called Lylith that that 'ominous' [he paints the quotes into the air around the word] hacker friend has been looking for. It can broadcast stuff into everybody's dreams and use all the resources CERES has at their hand, whether they know it or not.
Also, there's the question why they were fine with all this information coming out and being spread like that. They aren't even trying to put a lid on it.
[He scowls, digesting the information. The part about the murder, he's been assuming since the dream. But it is rather suspicious how there hasn't been any noticeable action taken toward the breach.]
We're being played big time, that's what's happening. And they feel that secure of themselves that they add insult to injury by not even bothering to hide it. Once the information is out the tension among the other imports will quickly rise till we get some sort of anti-CERES movement and then what?
There's something to gain from letting things go like that, and we need to figure out what as soon as possible if we want to keep our necks.

III's not here.
action
Gone for good?

[Despite the casual wording, his answer comes out rather short. He'd rather not be discussing this with Vector - definitely not Rei, after all.]
So? What did you call me out here for?
action
[He sighs. It sounds honest.]
I found out a couple of nasty things. The others already know, so I figured I might get you in the loops as well like I promised I would.
[Shaking his head, he doesn't wait for a reply as he brushes his hair back and shows an eye that has been blinded.]
Short version: CERES has been fucking with our bodies ever since we arrived. Same goes for the communication devices.
action
I'm not surprised. Is that what that girl meant by our blood being "dirtied"?
[Although that broadcast was from a while back, and this could well be another development.]
action
[The way he curiously regards IV is a bit too calm to not set off any alarms with those who know Vector better.]

Did you talk to her? The female captive . . .
action
[He makes a disdainful gesture for IV to skip that boring part and go on.]
action
This time, he does raise a hand to his right eye and feels the skin below it.]
If they can see through our eyes, keeping secrets is impossible. Even now, they could be watching us . . .
action
That's what I assume.
action
So? That leaves the robot from the dream. What's so important about it?

Could they be wanting us to know?

[Tsking, he walks a few steps back and forth.]

Could it be that they want to be dismantled? . . . I'll keep my ears peeled and report if I hear anything.

If that's all you had to say, I'm going.

[If IV glances back, all he'll see are the swirls of a teleportation vortex.]
