I don't know... it's too soon to say. But something must have happened.

Clarte said that he didn't get into one of the pods before they fell asleep last night. So why was he in one when we found him?

[pura]

He must have gotten in overnight, but...

[She trails off, frowning.]

Was last night's sleep natural?

I don't know. ...I slept more soundly than I expected to, but perhaps I was just worn out.

[pura]

... To be honest, so did I. And I have trouble falling, and staying, asleep.

[countermeasures]

...I wouldn't have expected many of us to sleep soundly last night.

[pura]

Then... It's likely something rendered us unconscious.

[countermeasures]

The question is, what?

[pura]

... It feels like the obvious answer would be the Prism itself, somehow.

That "somehow" is what bothers me most. If I could understand how it worked, I might be able to do something about it...

[they die of caffeine overdose overnight... rip.]

It bothers me, too. Frustratingly, we just don't have enough information to come up with any surefire plans.

[countermeasures]

We don't.

So... we'll have to keep looking for information.
