[ deanna inhales deeply as she tries to figure out exactly how to go about explaining this. it was a strange situation to experience; she can imagine it will be stranger to hear about. ]
I recall walking through the dome with Data in the middle of the day when a door suddenly appeared in front of us. It looked very out of place and we were both curious about why it had appeared and where it led. So, naturally, we went through it together. I woke up alone, inside a pod, though I managed to free myself and escape it. I was in a room full of other pods and countless people rested inside those, several of whom I knew personally.
Many of those who had awoken accompanied me outside and eventually we met two beings who claimed to be “in charge.” It was... not an experience I had expected.
