While I do not enjoy the fact these strange monkeys are running around harming people, I must admit that at the least it gives me an opportunity to utilize all the skills and technology the dreams have given me. My teleporter gauntlets are particularly perplexing for them.

Has anyone else seen these things about the county?

Things I've learned from my new dreams:

*Captain Phasma's a scary bitch. Literally. Do. Not. Screw with her. Also, her armor is badass.

*My men are some of the best (except for Slip), but apparently I'M top of the class. I got praised by Phasma herself at the review of a multi unit combat sim - and it was in front of hundreds of Stormtroopers.

* Star Destroyers are crazy huge.

* Standing guard at a mining colony sucks.

* I'm apparently conflicted as a Stormtrooper. I keep looking out for Slip because he keeps messing up and falls behind. Phasma says I'm not supposed to go back for a fallen comrade. Ever. First Order above everything else. That doesn't sit well with me. Even worse, at the mining colony she ordered us to straight up murder the crew that were striking - I didn't fire my weapon. I hesitated but my men killed them all. I'm hoping Phasma didn't notice I didn't discharge my weapon.

I'm worried for my mother. She's getting on in years, and her health isn't as good as it used to be, and the recent weather has her frightened and confused.

I'm not sure I'm able to take care of her the way I'd like to, any longer. If someone could recommend a sort of retirement home where she could receive good care when she needs it, I would be much obliged.

This has been an exciting first week in Orange County.

Judging by the general content of the posts I've been reading, I should somehow get used to this. They didn't tell me about this when I signed my transfer contract.

Those strange monkeys almost make me wish I brought my hunting gear with me when I moved here. Almost. I doubt monkey meat tastes anything like venison.
