Dream 2:

It was dark, i noticed that first, dimly glowing hallogen and florecent lighting rimmed the walkway, midway up the walls and dotted the celing of the corridor. There were 5 or perhaps 6 of us, I was never able to get a good count. We were there on a mission, to find out what had happened to those who had arrived before, the facility seemed to welcome us, the plaques over the doors changed to reflect our names and we made those rooms our quarters. I stepped inside my own room curiously wondering what i'd find there and found that the room was large and curved into a half circle, one of my companions walked outside past a sliding glass door and along a wooded trail to another facility down the path, she wore jeans and her hair was down, long and wavy. I turned then to see the room was split in two, along the inside wasll was a raised overlook area that i had to stand on a chair to look inside, it was covered in glass slitted panels and inside stood a small boy in pale pajamas, i inquired to him as to what had happened to those who came before, he was a test subject I think, a gifted child. He said that shortly after arriving on this planet those who had come were barraged by another species on the planet, they thought them harmless but by then it was too late, the boy said that most likely they were already aware of our presence as well. I turned to glance along the path my companion had walked earlier and found a group of strange bipeds with the heads akin to that of gryphons, thier bodies more like insects nearly at the door, the boy yelled for me to run and i dashed back towards the door but unable to find the door took one of two elevators at the end of the room, one had it's doors open, knowing i had little time i slid inside and frantically pushed keys to close the doors even as the head of the group stepped within range of the doors. Some how the doors closed in time and i managed to find my way down to the basement level, it was darker there, only 4 small lights lit the cavernous area, at the four corners of the room stood large rusted contraptions with a circular plate beneath them, another companinon arrived and I told him what the boy had said, we decided to explore the area and find out what we could. we crossed over to the contraption in the far left corner and found a touch pad, keying in something we watched as the center plate rose and opened, inside there were two bodies being kept in cold-stasis, one a man, whom we were able to revive, the second a woman, his wife by the indication, whom did not wake, then from the far tunnel to the roomwe heard them coming, insect like noises of a species we had previously run into whom controlled electricity, we carried the woman and left the man to run behind us, we didn't hae time. my male companion picked her up, carrying her ahead of me and we ran as though fire were at our heals, down another tunnel and all the way up to the main level, when we got there there were already the insect like species and the native griffon like species there, it was chaos, more humans had arrived after us in a shuttle, some of them military, the facility was in chaos. as people screamed and ran some headed for the elevators, a long row of them marked with alphabetical characters in the sequence of the human genome.some of the elevators were out of commission, the electricity-insects had gotten into them and fried the panels, I and another woman managed to jump into one that hadn't yet been damaged. we chose to go up to the third floor, partway up the cables in the open-air elevator began to snap, we were forced to abandon it on the second level, jumping out of it for safety before it chose to plummet. I yearned to go back to my quarters and grab my bag, inside where some magnets the insects were terrified of magnetic objects, but there was no chance now, we arrived on a quiet floor, hidden across from the eleators was an african american companion of ours, he'd been hiding in a series of dark alcoves across from the elevators that went back into tunnels, we hid with him and were soon chased by more of the two species, we escaped by dodging about in the dark of the tunnels and eventually made it outside where those who fled were crossing a large grass feild currounsed by vehicles and military tents. we looked in the sky to see unfamiliar ships and shuttles darting about in the sky and destroying each other, one was about to fall on our feild, everyone hit the deck and began crawling across the expanse to get away, i and some others made it into a sort of safe-zoned tent.

Then I awoke.
