I rather suspect it was all of SSFFS's "Geeks in Space" thread, as we were all already talking about it at the dinner table, I just stuck it up there.

I like ManlyDUCK and UnDUCK. The second dream would cause me to freak out a bit, though. I can't really say whether they were B5 influenced or not, though considering there is a decent amount of talking about how they're floating there in a thin shell in space... well. Maybe.

I'll keep an eye out for The Risen Empire!
