Sarah's dream-reports painted a picture of chaos in the heart of the dead zones, as those who sought absolute disconnection fought against those who began to question whether there might be alternatives to their chosen emptiness."Elena is holding ground," Sarah transmitted through the increasingly strained dream-link.
