The dream-builder stands perfectly still by the sea, unaware of her surroundings.
A stack of gilded white umbrellas lies piled at her feet.
She keeps her weary eyes shut, her body swaying gently in the sea breeze.
Mesmer Jr.: Stop it! Bring me more straps, I need to hold him down ...
She gestures with her hands, still in her dreams as if she's stifling a scream.
Her actions throw off her balance and wake her up. She opens her eyes.
Mesmer Jr.: Vertin?
Mesmer Jr.: *sigh* ... Thought I would get some rest.

Her actions throw off her balance and wake her up. She opens her eyes.
Mesmer Jr.: Vertin?
Mesmer Jr.: *sigh* ... Thought I would get some rest.
Mesmer Jr.: I should probably thank you for the extra work you're causing me. Finally, I have a chance to escape the daily grind and enjoy some fresh air.
Mesmer Jr.: Even though some of the Foundation staff are starting to see me as your go-between ...
Mesmer Jr.: Whatever. It's nice to get away from the screaming patients once in a while. Here, the Equilibrium Umbrellas you requested.
Mesmer Jr.: To do what? Be your errand girl?
Mesmer Jr.: Sadly, the number of people losing their minds only increased over the years. I'll never be able to leave this job.
Mesmer Jr.: You should continue your efforts, Vertin. Find ways to minimize the impact of the "Storm" on people, as you did with the Equilibrium Umbrella.
Mesmer Jr.: That'll save me a lot of trouble.

Mesmer Jr.: That'll save me a lot of trouble.
Mesmer Jr.: Now, if you don't mind, please verify the delivery and confirm receipt of the items you requested.
Mesmer Jr.: The faster you count, the sooner ... I can ... take a break.
Her heavy eyelids slide closed again as she drifts into another dream.
TALK AGAIN
Mesmer Jr.: Done with the counting? There's no need to hurry. Get the numbers right, Vertin.
