So in my world, ghosts are something we regularly go after. There's only two main ways to repel them, and considering we're in a pocket dimension I can't guarantee those'll hold up here, but they're worth a try.

Salt is the first. Any salt will do - they might not be able to cross lines of it, or a circle of it could protect you. If anyone has a shotgun, I recommending seeing about finding some rock salt to put in shells, those might help dispel any ghosts coming at you.

Iron is the second - weapons of pure iron, or things like iron pokers for a fireplace or iron tools. I have an iron knife that's worked for me in the past.

I must admit that my curiosity regarding nightmares has persisted, and yet I do not know if touching the monolith would result in as much for me. May I ask what the difference is between a dream and a nightmare? What is it like?

But I also must confess that I do not know what to do with Spot. I watch him sleep, and he likes to chase strings. Sadly, he also likes to jump on my work surfaces, and yet I bring myself to discipline him. Lacking the Enterprise databases, I would very much like your assistance in such.

Because he is striped.

I currently measure only 46 inches. It is a rather curious sensation.

But I also wish to solve the mystery of the missing laboratory. If anyone could lend me a pipe, I would be grateful, for I am looking to emulate a Victorian detective.

As such, the game is afoot.

[RICK, DAHJ AND DOLORES]

I trust you are all well?

I'm calling dibs on one of the Small World tea cups.

What I do with it is my own business.

I have taken the liberty to peruse the available literature on this particular location.

It appears to be a mid-20th century institution that lasted well into the early 21st century, and it is called an 'amusement' park. Yet I fail to see what is amusing.

I have observed at least thirty people complain about sore feet, and many more about the heat. And I have witnessed children losing sight of their parents at what appears to be a rather alarming rate. This does not seem amusing.

And there people attempting to take 'photos' of me. Is it required of me to stand still?

{FILTERED TO PARENTS (minus Rick, since he did not appear to want to be disturbed)}

But I am in need of advice. Ordinarily, I would ask Dr Crusher or Counsellor Troi, but they do not seem to be present. I have a daughter of whose existence I was previously unaware of, and I am uncertain how to proceed. And I have heard many of my human shipmates complain about their parents.

How do I avoid this?

I forgot how much humidity messes with my hair. Anyone have any tips on getting it under control?

Thank God for the new outfit that showed up because shorts are definitely called for.

I tire of being abducted by collectors, and I regret to inform you that I will be making my leave shortly.

But query - why is there a creature outside the force field that encapsulates this campus?

My dearest friend,

Welcome to Derleth.

I am so sorry I could not be there to greet you myself, but I trust you'll find your way around soon enough. Most of the students have not yet arrived for the new semester and so I've arranged for [your?] lodging on campus. You'll find a key in your pocket. Just like old times, eh?

Should the experiment go as planned, for one week we will be able to displace time and space itself. I believe with my calculations we will be able to control the effects and no one shall be the wiser. To anyone not directly involved it will be imperceptible.

Feel free to wander the campus in the meantime. We'll begin the experiment at [muffled] Hall, on Thursday, precisely at midnight.

We'll show them, won't we?
